Maureen Dowd's Sunday column ostensibly centers on the problem of Hillary's persona being alternatively too masculine or too Chipolte-granny feminine.
But in passing, Dowd discharges a major diss in the direction of President Obama. Analyzing lessons learned from 2008, Maureen writes [emphasis added] that "Hillary saw the foolishness of acting like a masculine woman defending the Iraq invasion after she fell behind to a feminized man denouncing it." Barack Obama: feminized man. Ouch.
Dowd urges Hillary to take Tina Fey's lead and go all "bitch is the new black." Whatever. In the meantime, imagine the First Couple reading the Times over White House brunch tomorrow. Michelle: "hey, Feminized Man, pass the fajitas."
