Just so, Danielle. One of the really clever things about James' oh-so-predictable piece of misogyny is that he disses Hillary Clinton for having the courage to stay in a marriage and be faithful to her marriage vows, even though her husband was cheating on her, whereas if she had chosen to leave him, he could have dissed her for breaking up her marriage. Amazing.

How old is that child? And he's saying 'dog' already! He's clearly gifted.
As are you sir, when it comes to Photoshop. That's the only explanation for those colours over Foveaux Strait.

Hoodies? Hate 'em.
They always result in a bad hair day.

Neil, any chance you could e-mail me? Clicking on the envelope symbol under my gravy-cat will bring up my e-mail address.

It's hard to know what to think about the timing of Edwards's endorsement - he had to do it sometime so over-analysing is a definite risk - but it's hard not to see it as a (sucessful) response to Clinton's arguments about the working class vote and the Michigan/Florida stand-off.
I think he's angling for VP.

Oh yes. But every now and then there's a point to jumping one.

It's racist. Using racism for marketing purposes is racist. Being misogynist for marketing purposes is misogynist. Full stop.

There's an on-line poll that everyone here should go and jump.
To me it's incredible that they even ask the question about whether or not it's racist.
BTW, the T-shirt was produced by the same person who has a billboard up saying "I wish Hillary had married O.J.
See the analysis at Shakesville.

And don't forget women who critiicise Hillary Clinton are gender traitors,
If that makes me a misogynist, Deborah and Neil - fine.
I've been quite clear all along that there are good reasons for supporting and opposing Clinton, and good reasons for supporting and opposing Obama, outside of race and gender, that on my part it's a preference call, and I have never, ever, made a disparaging comment about a woman, or a man, for that matter, who supports Obama. And when I say that someone has made a misogynist remark, I say that they have made a misogynist remark, not that they are misogynist.
Perhaps you could attend to my arguments.

It's the sort of analysis here, here, and especially here that I think highlights that it's a gender issue. NB - not necessarily solely a gender issue, but I think that the sort of unprecedented "get out" campaign Clinton has been subjected to is at least amendable to a gender analysis, though personally I think the stronger claim is viable i.e. that the "get out" campaign is fuelled by misogyny.
