LIE OF THE WEEK: 01-18-2008
National Organization for Women (NOW) President Kim Gandy on Chris Matthew's apology to Senator Hillary Clinton for saying that her career benefited from her status as a betrayed wife:
"Chris Matthews is a repeat offender when it comes to sexist attitudes toward women politicians. . . . I wasn't really looking for an apology. I was looking for a behavior change, and for him to treat female politicians the same way as male politicians."
THE TRUTH: Chris Matthews is an idiotic pundit who says a lot of dumb things without thinking, but in this case he was right. Hillary Clinton has clearly taken advantage of her husband's infidelities to further her political career and saying that NOW would like females to be treated in the same way as males is a lie. In an ideal society, men and women should be judged equally and paid equally, but this must apply in both directions. NOW is a biased organization that stands up for women when they are wronged but never does the same for men when women are the ones taking advantage of a situation. Thus, their opinion of justice is irrelevant and the truth should be told: Senator Clinton clearly works to benefit electorally from her status as a woman and as a betrayed wife and should be taken to task for doing so.
