And this morning I defend Andrew Sullivan.

Marie Cocco’s sexism whine in the Washington Post today (in which she complains about A.S. in her litany of abusers, male and female) is so silly.

Barbara Mikulski is the hero of the 2008 election season! That’s all you really need to know.

Seriously, though, I can’t tell you the t-shirts and signs I saw at the 2004 “March for Women’s Lives” on Washington, at which most of “feminism” and liberal Hollywood showed. Politics attracts color, emotion, and sometimes silliness. Sometimes it’s harmless and all in good fun. (I considered buying staff here Hillary nutcrackers for Christmas but determined I was too cheap.I also hate to encourage nuttiness.)

And sometimes it’s a ridiculous oped column.

Hillary Clinton has run a legit campaign, showing endurance and political skill. Heck, Rush Limbaugh listeners have voted for her. Can you imagine, in the late 90s if anyone asked you if you’d ever consider voting for Hillary Clinton for anything? We’ve come a long way baby. The misogyny I see comes from women like Coco who whine — who are all too comfortable insisting women are victims when they’re not.

Just grow up already.
