The rest of us don't get to make jokes about handicapped people, but a handicapped person can. Same with African Americans, Jews, or any other relatively oppressed demographic.

Hillary is managing her own personal affirmative action. As a society, we try to help oppressed groups overcome their hurdles by skewing the "table" in their favor in some ways for a while. HRC certainly has a big hurdle to overcome- or at least a glass ceiling to break through- and if she can find a way to break down or circumvent the irrational resistance to her candidacy, then more power to her.
