Feminist Whackjobs React to Hillary Clinton Time Cover in Pantsuit and Pointy Heels

It's an interesting magazine cover. At this point I'm just fascinated by the reaction.

From Amanda Hess, at Slate, "Time Magazine Turns Hillary Clinton Into a Pointy Heel Trampling an Emasculated Dude."

And from Melissa McEwan, at Shakesville, "This is a real thing in the world."

More from leftist Nia-Malika Henderson, at WaPo, "About that Time magazine cover on Hillary Clinton."

And from Taylor Marsh, "Who Can Stop Hillary? It’s Not Chris Christie":
There is no Benghazi smoking gun to indict Clinton, though Fox News channel continues to attempt to make partisan gains, as do Republicans who hope to get their party’s nomination, starting with Sen. Marco Rubio. It’s important to remember that the people using Benghazi against Clinton were never going to support her in the first place.

So, the truth is that only Hillary can stop the possibility of making history for Democrats, this nation and women.

For a woman who is always talking about women and our responsibility to keep working for each other and the world, to bow out of seeking the presidency, especially when the entire Democratic party is waiting for her to lead, it would be a breach of duty, an abdication of an opportunity that American women have waited to see for over two centuries. I don’t see this happening.

The trick is to stay out of the limelight until the very last minute. The spotlight will be waiting when she walks into it and it’s looking very unlikely that Chris Christie will be anywhere in sight.
No smoking gun? Okay. Let's just wait until the 2016 Benghazi attack ads. I admit though, Christie's looking like toast. Whether the country's ready for (and welcoming) another Clinton presidency is a whole 'nother story.

Here's the Time piece, from David Von Drehle, "Can Anyone Stop Hillary?" (via Memeorandum).

Hillary will run. I've said it since 2008. She'll be 69 in November 2016, roughly 8 months younger than Ronald Reagan when he was elected. She'll run. Her whole life has been geared to (and prepped for) this moment. It's her last hill to climb and she's gonna climb it. Stay tuned. It's going to be interesting.

My bet is that Hillary will announce in January 2015, about a year from now, so she can get fully registered in federal campaign finance rules and start raking in political contributions. We could see other Democrats announce even before then, but if Hillary announces next January it'll be early enough to deter many a would-be challenger. And I think it's pretty interesting that the left would mercilessly shame a woman who entered the race to challenge a Clinton coronation. It's corrupt. The political cycle is not favoring the Democrats in 2016, in any case. The left's venom toward anything or anyone resisting Hillary is going to make the Obama cult looking like a kindergarten club.
