Ms. Hillary finds her voice

December 26, 2007 Posted by Scott at 4:59 PM

The Clinton campaign has just posted an item in the name of Ms. Hillary on Glamorocracy (the Web site of Glamour). In the post Ms. Hillary divulges the secret of her greatness, a secret she formulates as how she found her voice:

Like so many women I know, it took me a while to find my voice—and I was thinking recently about how I found it. As a young woman at Wellesley in the late 1960s, we were passionate and fighting for what we believed in. I found a way to harness that passion into energy and activism and I found a way to use my voice to make change happen.

Back then, I realized that it would never be easy to make the hard decisions—it would be an uphill battle to fight for the rights of children and families and work for those who were too often marginalized or denied their most basic rights. I have been an advocate for women and children for the last 35 years—and I’ve worked to make the seemingly impossible possible because that is what politics is all about.

Now that Ms. Hillary has divulged how she found her voice, readers are left to wonder only how she found her laugh -- and how she can still be peddling the cackleworthy canard that women earn 77 cents on the dollar to men.
