Hillary's Sexual Politics
2008-05-19 16:19:00 The New York Times slides a mirror under Hillary's pants leg. She seemed uncertain how to reconcile her sex with her political persona. Though she projected an aura of authority, said Robert Shrum, a Democratic consultant unaffiliated with any candidate, she variously cast herself as a victim of male domination, a warm girlfriend type and, at the end, an indefatigable warrior. She even made contradictory statements about whether sex should be a factor in the race.

Falling Star
2008-05-13 12:53:00 Babs Walters goes on Larry King and brands wacko Star Jones a "poor woman." Huff Post vid "Star's a great talent and she's suffering now."Overlooked in all the Babs book hype, how tough it was for her to succeed in the male-dominated TV news biz. I saw Tim Russert scratching the surface in a Babs interview last weekend. It's worth reading the Vanity Fair excerpt of "Audition." The Ted Baxter of ABC News, Harry Reasoner, was an a-hole from the get go. "The blood was so bad between us, however, that Harry?s cronies on the crew took to using a stopwatch to note my airtime. If I did a segment that ran three minutes and twenty-five seconds, Harry would demand that he do a piece three minutes and twenty-five seconds long. Harry?s hostility soon began to show on the air. I remember reaching toward him at the end of one broadcast, in a friendly manner, just to touch him on the arm. He recoiled, physically recoiled, in front of millions of people. The media picked up on the bad chemistry....

DC Madam: Rooked Hookers
2008-04-14 17:51:00 Republican Sen. David Vitter (left) doesn't have to testify in the DC Madam prostitution case. MSNBC How convenient! Interestingly enough none of the high-powered johns have to take the stand. "Prosecutors have called just three ex-clients -- a landscaper with a history of mental illness and two suburban lawyers you never heard of. No senator. No diplomat. No war strategist." Wash PostThe case is sexist vanilla as only the babes are publicly humiliated. Prosecutor: "Of those 80 appointments, approximately how many times did you have sex?" Ex-call girl: "Seventy-nine... All except the gentleman who was a quadriplegic." Wash PostThose 79 are among 700,000 men in American who frequent hookers in an escort economy that's robust and recession-proof. Portfolio

Hillary's Poison Penn
2008-02-13 18:05:00 NYT Maureen Dowd: As a possible first Madame President, Hillary is a flawed science experiment because you can?t take Bill out of the equation. Her story is wrapped up in her marriage, and her marriage is wrapped up in a series of unappetizing compromises, arrangements and dependencies. Instead of carving out a separate identity for herself, she has become more entwined with Bill. She is running bolstered by his record and his muscle. She touts her experience as first lady, even though her judgment during those years on issue after issue was poor. She says she?s learned from her mistakes, but that?s not a compelling pitch. As a senator, she was not a leading voice on important issues, and her Iraq vote was about her political viability. Penn Jillette talks about a joke he has begun telling in his show. He thinks the thunderous reaction it gets from audiences shows that Hillary no longer has a shot. The joke goes: ?Obama is just creaming Hillary. You know, all these primaries, you kn...

2007-12-26 17:49:00 The New York Times boldly sums up Her Imperial Heinous Hillary's delusional, patently absurd and false claims of White House co-president "experience" in a damning front page piece: "During one of President Bill Clinton?s major tests on terrorism, whether to bomb Afghanistan and Sudan in 1998, Mrs. Clinton was barely speaking to her husband, let alone advising him, as the Lewinsky scandal sizzled.Hillary was nothing more than a sounding board with no security clearance.

CNN: The Most Trusted Name In Hues
2007-11-12 15:45:00 An age and race discrimination lawsuit against CNN threatens to blow the lid on CNN's attempts to match jobs with minorities. Law.com CNN contends it hires on talent not race. Four years ago anchor Marina Kolbe was fired for being white, she claims, and at 42, too old. CNN says it let her go because she wasn't "a star." But these memos submitted as evidence at the federal trial in Atlanta tell another story:Internal CNN memos introduced at a federal trial this week suggest that, beginning in 1999, in some cases a job candidate's race and ethnicity were key factors in hiring on-air talent. One memo also revealed a push by CNN to hire "younger, more attractive anchors" to draw younger audiences. A memo written by Johnson on March 17, 2000, and sent to former CNN Executive Vice President Bob Furnad; Bonnie Anderson, CNN's former vice president of minority recruiting; and others, stated, "Please do everything practical to recruit a minority anchor for the vacancy left open by the mo...

Whacking is the last resort but if you do: "Beating in the face is forbidden, even when it comes to animals. Even if you want your camel or donkey to start walking, you are not allowed to beat it in the face. If this is true for animals, it is all the more true when it comes to humans. So beatings should be light and not in the face."Muhammed Al-'Arifi purports to be a "doctor."

City trader loses £1.3m sex discrimination claim against BNP Paribas
2007-06-26 15:20:00 A City trader has lost her £1.3m sex discrimination claim against BNP Paribas bank. Katharina Tofeji alleged that the investment bank had refused to grant her a four-day working week after she had a baby. Tofeji, who worked in the foreign exchange unit, claimed she was treated badly after announcing her pregnancy in November 2004. The tribunal heard her appraisals and bonuses did not reflect that she had been outperforming colleagues. Before returning to work after maternity leave she applied for a four-day working week - but this was refused. On her return, Tofeji claimed she experienced a hostile reception and general surprise among her colleagues that she had decided to come back after her maternity leave. But the central London employment tribunal dismissed her claims, ruling that she was not wrongfully dismissed and was not treated less favourably than her male colleagues. Tofeji said she was "very disappointed" with the judgment. Her lawyers said they were... |
