Up is down, down is up.  

Now Hillary said she loves head bands.  If she still wore them people would find all kind of comments about being controlling, stuck in the 60's, it would not end.  

I was frankly thinking how much harder it is for her to be the candidate on the road than for men.  Hair, makeup, clothes, accessories...She must have someone who takes care of all that.  

perhaps ehrenreich has written elsewhere about how harmful a clinton administration would be to women working in the service sector, or how obama would be better for the working class in general and working women in particular.  but i saw neither reference nor links to any such piece.  

which candidate would be better for that constituency?  that would be something from her really worth reading, even on huffpo.  

I can't believe this ridiculous article hasn't gotten more attention. It's really shameful, even for HuffPo (and that's saying something.)

By Eherenreich. I have always admired her writing, sense of play and surprising imagination.

Just goes to show that kool aid drinking can twist the minds of even the most sane people.  The point of Eherenreich's piece was new to me though. I never had imagined that HRC was a member of the ultra conservative right wing religious evangelical power group, The Family. That is scary.

OK at least two democrats go the the weekly evangelical prayer meetings:

These days, Clinton has graduated from the political wives' group into what may be Coe's most elite cell, the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast. Though weighted Republican, the breakfast--regularly attended by about 40 members--is a bipartisan opportunity for politicians to burnish their reputations, giving Clinton the chance to profess her faith with men such as Brownback as well as the twin terrors of Oklahoma, James Inhofe and Tom Coburn, and, until recently, former Senator George Allen (R-Va.). Democrats in the group include Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor, who told us that the separation of church and state has gone too far; Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is also a regular.

And I always thought she was almost identical to Obama, but not this identical:

But the senator's project isn't the conversion of her adversaries; it's tempering their opposition so she can court a new generation of Clinton Republicans, values voters who have grown estranged from the Christian right. And while such crossover conservatives may never agree with her on the old litmus-test issues, there is an important, and broader, common ground--the kind of faith-based politics that, under the right circumstances, will permit majority morality to trump individual rights. The libertarian Cato Institute recently observed that Clinton is "adding the paternalistic agenda of the religious right to her old-fashioned liberal paternalism." Clinton suggests as much herself in her 1996 book, It Takes a Village, where she writes approvingly of religious groups' access to schools, lessons in Scripture, and "virtue" making a return to the classroom.

What drew Clinton into the sinister heart of the international right? Maybe it was just a phase in her tormented search for identity, marked by ever-changing hairstyles and names: Hillary Rodham, Mrs. Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and now Hillary Clinton. She reached out to many potential spiritual mentors during her White House days, including new age guru Marianne Williamson and the liberal Rabbi Michael Lerner. But it was the Family association that stuck.

It seems to be more of a psychological assessment, and, while unflattering, may be correct, for all I know.  Maybe Hillary did search for her identity.  Maybe her search did torment her.  Maybe her hairstyles and name-changes were evidence of that, along with her changing spiritual mentors.
