Boy, did the left go insane in the membrane over that. Here’s Huff Po’s Talyor Marsh:
I am disgusted by the indiscriminate sexism and blatant misogyny of this statement. I also cannot believe in the 21st century we have Neanderthal men parading around with such arrogance that they wouldn’t immediately check themselves as a statement like this went tripping through their itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny brain. That I have to point out the history and monumental importance of what’s going on between Chelsea and her mother at this moment makes me so incredibly sad that words almost escape me.
Chelsea Clinton is making a choice. She’s not some chick robot turning political tricks for her mother, showing cleavage and thigh, while hoping to get cash for some hustler.
Mothers and daughters have been working together for centuries, supporting one another. I wish my mother were alive to see and feel and experience what I am right now. I cannot imagine the pride of Chelsea Clinton as she watches her mother compete as the first viable female presidential candidate in United States history. The joy is one thing, but the sheer history of this moment must be an awesome thing to experience as her daughter. Together they must be having the time of their lives.
Put this in context with David Letterman’s comments about Sarah Palin and her daughter.
