Oh Those Feisty Dames, Benghazi Hearings Edition

[Mass]

Hillary Clinton did very well during these hearings, but the media seem intent to show her as an emotional woman.

Thanks to Brian Glucroft, based in China, for this screenshot of CNN.com's coverage of Hillary Clinton's testimony about Benghazi:




"Testy," "fiery," "tearful" for the secretary of state. Good thing for all of us that this hot emotional mess is not in a position of responsibility! And meanwhile Michelle Obama "rolls eyes" at the speaker of the House.

It's such a relief, but of course a surprise, to hear that the Obama girls are "mature." Apologies in advance if I've been snookered and this is actually a shot from The Onion.

Here are a few more titles.

1. The Hearings are a total waste of time.

Unless they bring the murderers to justice.

2. Just trying for dramatic attention-grabbing headlines, as always.

Notice that no one in politics ever plain disagrees anymore, it's always "So-and-so SLAMS the GOP" or "Senator Bag-o-donuts TAKES AIM at Senator Bumblefuck over such and such".

3. same sorts of reactions at DU

she did in fact get emotional with Johnson.

Is it sexism, or a need for partisan drama, that causes that to make headlines?
