Hmm. A good point on the Clinton campaign having a hand in creating the "lack of title" scenario it later complained about. Is that a subtle buy-in to the predominant ethos/culture that would think it OK - nay good - to "humanize" a strong woman that way?

Of course, bitter is no excuse for dredging up one's personal swamp. I'd be freaking if the Clinton camp were calling Obama a token [slur] or Lieberman a kike. I think this is no better, bitterness is no more an excuse than drunkenness.
