I'm totally disgusted with MeMo and Wonkette for the way each has handled the Harriet Miers nomination. All they are talking about is her make-up, her shoes, her dress size, etc. It's particularly disturbing because these are blogs run by women. Yeah, yeah, we all need to have a sense of humor, but I am so sick of how we reduce female political figures to dissections of their anatomy (and I don't mean their brains), and ridicule them for being ugly -- or attractive. Or rich and workaholic, traits we love in our men (sorry, Zoe, bad mom). Yuck. I won't be making regular calls to them.
Am I overreacting? Maybe. After all, there's other important female news on MeMo -- like that Target will start selling vibrators.
