The Dreaded "M"-word.

Perhaps you’ve heard by now but Obama foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power resigned after it was disclosed that in an off-the-record remark, she called Hillary Clinton “a monster”.

Given our sporting backround, this term is usually used in a positive manner and shows a degree of respect. In this context, however, we’re pretty certain Power wasn’t referring to Hillary’s imposing defensive presence in the paint or her unnatural ability in getting off the edge on a pass rush.

So if it is indeed a negative term we still can’t help but feel the dismissal of Power odd. Afterall, on the Democratic “mean people suck” scale, “monster” pales in comparison to some…? most….? nearly every term used to describe the woman, no?

23/6 does some reading between the lines of Power’s resignation memo, here.

P.S. Gotta think Power was let go because either a) there was dirt on her that was going to come out later that would be more damaging to Obama or b) Camp Obama has painted itself into a corner with their sanctimonious awesomeness and felled the axe to maintain their image.

Update #1: Foxfier links here to a piece in Newsweek that laments the improbability of a Hillary Presidency because... we're all sexist pigs. Well, you are, to be exact - we're as pure as driven snow, brothers and sisters. But if you're scoring at home, you will have noticed the irony here as thus far the most egregious personal attack on Hillary has been made by another woman.

Update #2: Here's an angle that hasn't been discussed much because of perhaps its statistical insignificance, but: We know there are women out there that will vote for Hillary merely because she is a woman and men who won't because she is (and we suppose there is the random beta-male who because of modern technology has been spared his Darwinian sentence that will vote for Hillary because she is a woman)... but what about women who won't vote for Hillary because she is a woman? Trust us. They're out there. Think of that female friend of yours that claims to "have more guy friends than girl friends because girls can be so vindictive, petty and cliqueish" Hey, they said it, not us.
