"She had a great night. I thought she had a very skillfully written, and very skillfully delivered speech",Joe Biden said, "shades of articulate and bright and clean" threatening a reappearance.

Thus began the official public launch of our country's now most-prominent female politician. The condescension; damning with faint praise; was reminiscent of the more overt misogyny of Samuel Johnson.

"A woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hinder legs"; the wit once observed. "It is not done well; but you are surprized to find it done at all".

"Bitter and Angry in Rural Pennsylvania: Obama's Reality vs. Hillary's Fantasy"

By Kate Loos in Scheveningen - Apr 13th, 2008 at 2:56 pm EDT

As a former resident of Maine, I wholeheartedly identified with the author of a diary on Daily Kos today.

The MSM's talking have hit a raw nerve with me for have the unmitigated audacity to describe Sen. Obama as an elitist.

The diarist's has written on the clearest, most succinct responses such accusation that I've seen anywhere.

For the complete article please go here.

"I live in western Pennsylvania, and I can tell you, people here are bitter and angry. Poverty is prevalent. People hunt squirrels and eat them, along with racoon stew. People also hunt deer here, not for sport, but so they can put meat in their freezer so they can feed their families. They cut wood in the forests and heat their homes with wood stoves because they can't afford to pay the gas bill. I know a guy who goes to old landfills to dig up old milk and beer bottles to sell on eBay. He uses the proceeds to buy clothes for his family at the Salvation Army (and to pay for his dial-up connection)."
