Hillary Clinton on ‘The View’: Don't Forget I'm a Lady

So Hillary Clinton was on The View today, did you see? No? You don't work in media and consider it a "must-watch for work purposes"? Well, anyway, she was on it (wearing a much better outfit than Whoopi or Elizabeth, for what it's worth), and the ladies were eating her up. They played that clip from Letterman when Hillary said as president she would bring peace and long-term stability to The View. "Can I say, we've already done that?" Hillary cracked. "Check that off!" She's so in tune with women, she follows the show and its drama — how refreshingly candid. You know how else she's in tune with women? She talked about feminine issues in foreign countries where they are treated as second-class citizens, and she brought up how many elderly women tell her that they lived through women's suffrage and have been dreaming of the day when a woman could be president. Wow, lately we'd almost forgotten she was a lady! Good thing she went on the show to remind us. Our favorite part was when Barbara asked her whether it was tough to respond to criticisms from the wife of a candidate. "I try not to answer anybody," Hillary shot back, to applause from all the women in the audience. Good for you, Hill. Don't answer anybody, not even Elizabeth Edwards, who said she didn't think you would be a "good advocate for women." Yeah, keep ignoring that.
