...or iron lady.
Playing the gender card this week by Hilary Rodham Clinton was one of the low points of a political candidate or someone wanting to be a leader of the great United States of America I've ever seen.
Peggy Noonan has a great piece opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal showing the tremendous difference between the great Margaret Thatcher and the lowly Hilary Rodham Clinton.
As Thatcher said one time: "If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you."
Thatcher actually received the designation of the "Iron Lady" from the former Soviet Union, who meant it as a derogatory comment, but which she happily and eagerly embraced. I will also add that she earned it.
Talking about the sudden rise of Senator Obama after the debacle, and the rejection of Clinton's response by Americans, Noonan added:
"It's all kind of wonderful, isn't it? Someone indulged in special pleading and America didn't buy it. It's as if the country this week made it official: We now formally declare that the woman who uses the fact of her sex to manipulate circumstances is a jerk.
"This is a victory for true feminism, in its old-fashioned sense of a simple assertion of the equality of men and women. We might not have so resoundingly reached this moment without Mrs. Clinton's actions and statements. Thank you, Mrs. Clinton."
Also starting to realize the disaster that Clinton is becoming, Kate Michelman, a John Edwards supporter who used to be the head of NARAL said about Clinton, "When unchallenged, in a comfortable, controlled situation, Sen. Clinton embraces her elevation into the 'boys club. But when "legitimate questions" are asked, "she is quick to raise the white flag and look for a change in the rules."
Clinton reminds me of when she mocked Tammy Wynette who was dying of cancer that she wasn't the type to "Stand by Her Man." That was before Monica Lowinsky. She sure stood by her man when it would further her ambitions.
As far as women being great leaders, Margaret Thatcher said one time, "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."
Walking around like she has the "divine rights of kings" (or queens) in this case, only shows Hilary Clinton doesn't have what it takes.
So in honor of Tammy Wynette and her song "Stand by Your Man," here's a look at at Hilary Rodham Clinton, standing by her man below. It's hilarious, if you have a sense of humor.
