She has many other faults, but that's her biggest.

This is one reason why I like to insult people here. There are probably thousands of male politicians of both parties collecting money from all kinds of supporters every day; in fact most members of Congress have individual PACs that are just as dark as the Superpacs that operate during elections. There are examples of politicians hiring children and paying them $50-100k as "salary".

Theres is an excellent 60 Minutes segment about it. Of course the salary comes from individual PACs of the the congress members.

Plus I don't like to use the term whore because I see it as derogatory toward women in general...there is no real male equivalent in the language in my opinion that is as negative. "John" or gigilo" just is not as bad and the term whore just reinforces a double standard.

Anger therapy might help with that.

But Elizabeth Warren is a well-known misogynist.

Tom did not call Hillary a whore, he called her a 'corporate whore' and therein lies the difference. Of course your smug objection does not simply arise from TJ's use of the term, goes farther than that.

Did you watch the whole episode John? Ms. Warren said that Hillary made the White House reverse its position in support of the Bill. For an otherwise canny pol Bill managed to pick some idiot Treasury Secretaries.

She also said Hillary is pretty smart.

Anyone who gets paid over $200 large to give a 40 minute speech to Goldman Sachs is a Corporate Whore I don't care what gender they are.

Did you watch it all?

Up to and including the part where she caved into the bankers when she was a Senator?

Rajoo you must admit that women have yet to reach equality in this country. I was married to an intelligent, strong and accomplished woman and saw the shit she had to put up with. except that after we ere married they had to deal with me and I jerked knots in more than one tail.

Yes, I watched it but clearly you didn't. The same bill was introduced later on and, when it was, Senator Clinton voted for it. It passed and for some strange reason Bush didn't veto it.
