I just happened to stumble across this video clip of scholar Deborah Tannen commenting on the double bind faced by Hillary Rodham Clinton in her historic effort to make a little progress for women in this sorry cowboy nation.
I'm a big fan of Tannen who is an expert on the "cross-cultural communication" between women and men, among many other gendered things. The clip is 3 minutes.

More News of the Weird: Politico says Clinton scorns the base, by which they mean, Hillary criticized MoveOn for flooding the caucuses with bullies. Newsflash Politico: MoveOn is NOT her base. Hillary's base scorns MoveOn! We left MoveOn when they endorsed Obama and declared war on Hillary.
