Commentary: Clinton camp wrong to play the gender card
CNN ^ | November 7, 2007 | Roland Martin

When we were kids, my brother and I used to always get our butts whipped by my dad for hitting my sister, LeVita.

As the only girl at the time, she would run to Daddy and tell him we hit her. So, believing his baby girl, he took it out on us. But one day he was at the kitchen table and watched us play in the front yard and his eyes lit up. He saw his baby girl hit me and Reggie, and when we hit back, she ran screaming into the house to tell him the usual tale. This time, Daddy spanked her for instigating the fight, and then for trying to get us in trouble.

Daddy had to explain to LeVita that when you hit boys, sometimes they hit back.

That story came to mind as I read Geraldine Ferraro blast the Democratic presidential candidates for their tough questioning last week of Sen. Hillary Clinton during the latest presidential debate.

Clinton herself kicked off the "woe is me" routine when her campaign accused her rivals of "piling on" when they took exception to her multiple answers to the question of illegal immigrants' getting driver's licenses in New York, and the release of her papers to the president during the two terms of President Bill Clinton.

Then of course, she went to Wellesley College, her alma mater, and talked about the school preparing her for the "all-boys club" of presidential politics.

I didn’t like Hillary to begin with, but I never thought she’d stoop to these tactics. What an embarrassment.

Nice take.

Hillary is committing political suicide so efficiently, it's almost a shame for us to help her.

The entire Hillary camp is in "Oh My God, Wadda We Do Next" mode. She has 700 people working for her and they still can't come up with a script to Save Hillary's Backside.

It was a laugh when she went to Wellsely the day after her debate flop----as if nothing happened. Now she's incommunicado---trying to dig herself out.

Betcha the debate flop affected her fund-raising and public appearances scheduling.

As for the $$$---she and Bill will launder some of their offshore money---then use ID theft to makeup a bunch of "consributors" for the FEC---to make voters think she's still The One.

Hillary is a wimp. First real question she gets, and she backs away crying foul. what a turd. As Presidential Candidates it is expected they will face tough questions and provide straight answers, not cower away crying foul. Hillary = sheltered rookie
