Women don't have a lot of leeway in how they comport themselves. Could any woman behave on TV like Bob Novak or Bill O'Reilly and get her own show? Female pundits are rarely called "sharp and incisive," only "shrill and strident." Women in politics have less margin for error. During his 30 years as a columnist, I can remember William Safire calling only one person a "congenital liar," and it just happened to be Hillary (D-Whitewater).Carlson claims, "In her grilling of Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice, Boxer finally named the elephant in the hearing room, which is more than the war itself. It's the lies that got us there". I believe I have heard the "lies" accusation for over a year - and in my opinion, those whose raise make the accusation are lying themselves... I am amazed every time the "they lied" claim is brought up; actually lying without any doubt was not an issue only a few years ago. Liberals did not even attempt to deny the lying was real - it just was not a problem. Now all you must do is make the accusation that there are lies and not only does it become fact, as far as liberals are concerned, it is a major issue, amazing.
I have other issues about Carlson's remarks and assertions, but David Limbuah is much more eloquent in pointing out Carlson's inaccuracies. Read his comments here.
