Last night Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton was honored with the Global Trailblazer award "for empowering women the world over."
I wish I could find the video clip but it doesn't appear to be online yet. Scroll down for a link to a clip of Hillary speaking at last year's ceremony. It's obvious from that video clip that Hillary and women across the political aisle have been sticking together for quite some time. That would have been something quite remarkable to see in the White House.
Too bad the country blew it.
Politico: -- Politics may divide, but women stick together.
Partisanship was tossed aside Thursday night at the 2009 Global Leadership Awards, held at the Kennedy Center, and honoring women leaders including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was there to accept her award.
The ceremony was put on by Vital Voices Global Partnership, an international organization promoting women in leadership, and saw such notables on stage as Ben Affleck, Sally Fields, Maria Bello, Candice Bergen, Diane von Furstenberg, Nicholas Kristof and Maggie Grace. . .
Despite the night's star power—and although additional awards were presented to women leaders from Afghanistan, Nigeria, Cambodia and the Democratic Republic of Congo—it in every way belonged to Clinton, beginning with a touching video tribute and capped with a standing ovation that lasted nearly two minutes when she appeared on stage. Even heartthrob Affleck failed to garner half as much applause.
