Misogyny rules when Conservatives attack Nancy Pelosi
Crooks and Liars —
Misogyny rules whenever the target is a liberal woman in Congress who has some real power. I've written this before, but I'll repeat it again: Even the media elites who try to appear even-handed as the CIA story came up would never attack a member of Congress they way they do Nancy Pelosi. Even Newt Gingrich was spared the vitriol that I hear day in and day out when Pelosi is the target. Gingich's attacks on Pelosi were outrageous too, but the media lapped them up because he's a conservative -- so it's OK. "I think this is the most despicable, dishonest and vicious political effort I've seen in my lifetime." And that is just fine for the corporate elites who run network news. She's ...
