Eleanor Clift: MSM Chancre Sore on the National Body Politic

As with nearly everything else in feminized-homoeroticized Western culture, too much leeway in the public square has been yielded to women -- simply because they are women. Of course, this is true in the military, where the admission of women to the military academies has unleashed a non-stop soap opera of lurid reports followed by outraged political asshats, who consider every conceivable option -- except the obvious one -- that women do not belong in any military academy dormitory room. (But, no! Our brilliant military and political leaders have decided that they can DECREE a change in human nature. I mean, the military FORBIDS smoking next to an aircraft that is being refueled. Duh! But, they INTRODUCE women into men's dorms at all three military academies and are DUMBFOUNDED when sexual combustion occurs.)

No doubt the WORST cases of giving ground to unqualified females, however, has occurred in the mainstream media. Quick: Think of Fox News or CNN Headline News. Be honest -- what images first crossed your mind? Not Laurie Dhue, of course!

One of the worst examples of an overrated, intolerable (and intolerant) MSM wench is Newsweek's Eleanor Clift, who spent many a day during the Clinton years defending the indefensible. Foorsooth, she is a veritable MSM Chancre Sore on the National Body Politic.

Now, she has let loose with a winner, calling our boys in uniform "mercenaries" -- on national television, no less. (One can only assume that Ms. Clift would much prefer to see Appalachian and ghetto kids dragooned against their will into the fighting platoons we send to Iraq and Afghanistan.)

Well, fortunately, Freedom Alliance's President, Thomas P. Kilgannon, has called Ms. Clift on her bombastic overreach (to say nothing of her total lack of class -- but we already knew that). Mr. Kilgannon has called upon Ms. Clift to apologize -- on national television, no less. (I am not holding my breath.)

Full disclosure: with a son in the Army (currently serving in Iraq), I am less than objective when discussing this issue.
