Drescher, best known as TV's "The Nanny," said that Clinton had "put 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling," but urged support for Obama as "a defender of women's rights." A survivor of uterine cancer, she praised Obama for his sponsorship of the Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act, and used her illness as an argument for abortion rights.Just the fact that she's reminded me of the DNC Women's Caucus -- the tambourines! those damned tambourines! -- is enough to make me oppose Drescher's Senate bid, even if she wasn't a liberal idiot (which she is). Yet if Al Franken can come within 300 votes of a Senate seat, why not Fran?
"My right to choose was taken away when I was given a radical hysterectomy to cure my cancer," Drescher said. "I hate that I lost my right to choose, and you will, too."
The logic of that statement doesn't quite hold together -- what Republican would deny a woman the ability to bear children, as Drescher's hysterectomy did? -- but it was nonetheless applauded heartily by the Women's Caucus.
One good thing about (shudder) Senator Drescher: Her election would automatically stop Democrats from ever again claiming that Sarah Palin is not qualified for high office.

ReplyDeleteYou're applying logic to an emotional understanding that the Republican Party is a cancer, requiring radical Karlmarxotherapy.
You may flog yourself at your own discretion, sir.
I'm afraid you are wrong. Nothing will stop the democrats from claiming that Sarah Palin is not qualified for high office. She already holds a high office that she gained in the teeth of opposition. That matters not to democrats. She has an accent. She didn't go to the right schools. She is middle class. She will NEVER be good enough for them because she doesn't whine about being a woman.

ReplyDeleteShe has an accent.
And Fran "Enter, Whining" Drescher does not?
