1. Sure enough

2. JFC really?

As my wife pointed out to me when I exclaimed “JFC” it seems the left can be more sexist than anyone. If this was a man would this even be a story?

It is like we have to take this country back while treading through quick sand.

9. Yup. It is the plight of women in this country.

And here we have prime example #1 in that article. It's not we haven't seen this every freaking day of our lives.

3. Amy Klobuchar is seasoned and tough.

I doubt this will faze her, but it is just sad all the way around. Maybe she is a hard ass to work for. But this story plays into the age old trope that women are supposed to be soft and feminine and being demanding and maybe difficult is just too manly for a girl!

4. its well known that women are horrible bosses (sarcasm alert)

its so easy to pile on women

they are shrill
they are terrible bosses
they are hormonal
they are overly sensitive
they are sexually frustrated
they are bitches
....

Misogyny, the gift that keeps giving

5. This is what "journalism" looks like in the 21st century.

Do you have more information on what it’s like to work for Sen. Klobuchar — or other members of Congress? Get in touch: [e-mail]


It's easier than having to do the legwork/investigating it themselves.

6. -all of whom spoke to HuffPost on condition of anonymity,

Claim it, name yourself.
Accountability.

Tough?
Demanding?
High standards?
Okay

[Docreed2003]

13. High standards and demanding!? Right??

That's only bad for women apparently.

Frankly I want a candidate with high standards and who are demanding of their staff to meet expectations!

[Demit]

14. Plus, they are FORMER staffers. Why would they need anonymity?

If they were current staffers I might understand. HuffPo isn't the only publication to eagerly grant anonymity in order to publish gossip, but it doesn't exactly enhance their credibility. I am discounting this totally. It's junk reporting.

7. HuffPost...

has turned into absolute garbage. They had this headline at the top of their page with flashing lights. The article quotes just as many staff members that claim they valued working for Amy and value the experience its given them.

[jcgoldie]

8. What I take from that article

Reading between the lines she has high expectations for her staff and there are some sour grapes from former staffers who didn't live up to them. Sorry but I have a very hard time believing that of all the candidates for president she's "cruel" or "demeaning" behind the scenes. I call bullshit.

[2naSalit]

10. This is the second time in 14 hours this article has been posted.

Enough of the Dem bashing. And this is a side-boob gazette production, not credible in my book. Looks more like a hit piece with little to substantiate it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. It's no secret that working for Klobuchar is hard and that her staff is not the warmest.

[Docreed2003]

12. God this shit is infuriating

Too bossy, too intellectual, too prosecutorial, not likeable, and on and on and on....

No dude would have to put up with that type of crap or meet those standards...none.
