    That's such a stupendous typo it will remain as is. So it is, and so it ever shall, until the locking of the thread. Amen.

    Again, this shit makes me want to scream. As one commenter pointed out, he made no comment about Clinton making those trips as a woman - he in fact explicitly equated them to his own experiences on similar junkets. Sexism this ain't.

    This gives me hope then. They're afraid of this man from Illinois. He's obviously viewed as enough of a threat for cooperative attacks, which is quite telling.

    Oh, and this should be fun for you all: New York Times Magazine has an interesting profile on Chris Matthews.

    Can we point and laugh at him yet?

    Aww. This article made me pity Chris Matthews a bit. Very humanizing take on a person I normally consider a sexist blowhard.

    I wonder if they can do the same for Wolf Blitzer?

    Sometimes during commercial breaks, Matthews will boast to Olbermann of having restrained himself during the prior segment. “And I reward him with a grape,” Olbermann says.

    From the comments:
    "So he said something that wasn’t sexist, that means other things he said couldn’t be sexist? That makes no sense."

    They finally agree that this isn't sexism at all, BUT HE'S A GODDAMNED SEXIST ANYWAYS.

    Seriously, that blog may be perfectly fine on a normal day, but on anything related to Clinton they immediately decide everyone in the world is sexist and that's why she's not winning. No matter what was actually said.

    The misandrony on that blog is palpable!

    You know, I used to think the man-hating lesbian feminist was a Republican stereotype used to scare middle America, but...
    It was just a matter of time when the self-proclaimed unifier would target Clinton with gender-biased tactics. Because regardless of what color his skin is, he is still a man.
    Apparently all men hate women? o_O

    That would actually be great. They could do a whole series of articles about all the different TV personalities I hate, following Lou Dobbs as he prowls the border of Mexico with a shotgun or talk with O'Reilly in the morning as he follows his normal ritual of shoving his head up his own ass.

    Some of the comments made me cringe. Like the one that tries to draw the conclusion that ALL of his comments are sexist because of one comment that referred to diplomacy trips as "having tea". I'm just glad that there seem to be SOME voices of reason in the comments section.

    I love it when the women get involved. The biggest nonsense issue in the campaign will always belong to the women.

    I think you forgot to read part of his statement: “I know what those trips are like! I’ve been on them.”

    He was specifically comparing Senator Clinton’s experiences with his own. He’s not dismissing her foreign policy experience as being some sort of act as “just a wife”; he’s dismissing her foreign policy experience (along with his own, in this particular type of foreign policy!) as being a PR show rather than anything substantive.

    There is a lot of sexism out there and a lot of it desperately needs to be pointed out, but don’t go labelling things as sexist when they are not. It only serves to reduce your credibility and reduce the impact of your activism.

    She is right, not seeing something is not proof of its non-existence. However, given that the fact that it does not exist is why you don't see sexism in the statement...
