By contrast, John Kerry hired only white males for top
positions in his presidential campaign, a fact so embarrassing
that even the media eventually took notice. In Kerry's defense,
almost all of his and Teresa's domestic servants appear to have
been people of color, although we still don't have a final head
count on the place in Aspen.
But when Nancy Pelosi -- another Democrat who married a
multimillionaire -- achieves the minor distinction of becoming
the first female speaker of the House, The New York Times acts
like she's invented cold fusion.
There were two major articles breathlessly reporting Pelosi's
magnificent achievement as first female speaker and an op-ed by
Bob Herbert, titled "Ms. Speaker and Other Trends." Beatifying
Pelosi as "the most powerful woman ever to sit in Congress,"
Herbert began: "Sometimes you can actually feel the winds of
history blowing." There was a major Times profile of Pelosi,
gushing that Pelosi was "on the brink of becoming the first
female speaker." (Isn't she just the most independent little
gal?)
So in addition to bringing back a cut-and-run national
security strategy, tax-and-spend domestic policy and a
no-enforcement immigration policy, the new Democratic Congress is
apparently ushering in a return to feminist milestones.
I warned you people about what might happen if "Take Your
Daughter to Work Day" ever caught on, and now you've got no one
but yourselves to blame. Happy now?
