Jane magazine, the most crass of the women’s glossies has a spread in their December issue “Bad Ass vs. Ass Bad.” Example: “Bad-Ass Leader:” Carol Mosely Braun vs. “Ass-Bad Leader: Ex-EPA lackey Christie Todd Whitman” or “Bad-Ass Star: First Amendment-user Natalie Maines” vs. “Ass-Bad Star: Attention-seeker Whitney Houston.”

But here’s the one I care about: “Ass-Bad Loudmouth: Women-in-combat scapegoater Elaine Donnelly.” Elaine, as many NRO readers know, is president of the Center for Military Readiness. Jane wouldn’t describe her this way, but she is a warrior herself–for high standards in the military.

Before I saw the Jane item, I had actually just skimmed Glamour’s Women of the Year section (it was glossy-mag. night on the commute home–SO I COULD DO THIS, THANK YOU); while reading Glamour–Glorida Feldt, Jessica Lange, Ellen DeGeneres among the honorees–I had thought: Elaine Donnelly should be on that list. The woman fights red tape and crusading feminists for the sake of our national security–and has been doing it much longer than they have been singing “God Bless America” during the seventh-inning stretch.

Nope, of course–Glamour would never. But there she is on Jane’s 2003 hit list!
