The Daily Show: The Broads Must Be Crazy

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart hammered the media for the double standard applied to Hillary Clinton and other female politicians compared to their male counterparts and whether their emotions are kept in check.

Stewart nails it .......

The media has a double standard for women. The media loves to pin a label on women leaders as too emotional to lead.

Talk about pundits making themselves look like complete asses, this one is perfect.

It's just one more reason I can't watch what passes for news, they start talking about a woman candidate's looks, emotional state, or breeding history instead of her credentials and policies and my foot starts to head for the screen and there are only so many new TVs I can afford. Male candidates don't fare a lot better: their places on the map and position in the polls are reported but never their credentials or policies.

Thank goodness for a DVD library I've built over the years. It keeps me going during election season.
