Nastiness


Are women second-class citizens in the Muslim world? Except for a few non-Arabic locals like Pakistan and Iran, generally they are. Yet, women's issues were not anywhere near the top of her agenda when Hellary was flying around this world as our SecState. But, in a country where women have voted for almost one hundred years and make up almost half of the workforce, suddenly women's issues are now paramount for this "nasty" woman. Of course, moving the battle of the sexes to center stage is a political calculation ... as is just about everything these days in the Clinton campaign.

If Hellary was showing the kind of outrage over Trump's "pussy" comment or his "nasty" aside as she (and Elizabeth Warren) should have been directing at radical Muslims and rap artists for how they treat women, then their current gnashing of teeth might have some credence. As it is, it rings as hollow as Obummer's promises about his Affordable Care Act.

It appears to this writer that selective outrage is one key facet of nastiness (another might be calling half of Americans "deplorable" and "irredeemable") ... and both Hellary and Tizzy Lizzy have had their tanks topped off on this character flaw.

By the bye, and to be fair ... Donald Trump also clearly carries a surfeit of nastiness ... and even I have bared my horns from time to time.
