New Day, New Truth

Gloria Steinem says it's better if we were led by people who found a way not to serve in the military:

“I am so grateful that she [Clinton] hasn’t been trained to kill anybody. And she probably didn’t even play war games as a kid. It’s a great relief from Bush in his jump suit and from Kerry saluting.”

To the Observer, Steinem insisted that “from George Washington to Jack Kennedy and PT-109 we have behaved as if killing people is a qualification for ruling people.”

But wait, what about the chickenhawk meme? That was going so well for you.
