Yes. Lame Crain can’t stand the thought of HRC’s HRC becoming prez either - but its from a different point of view than mine, of course. From a recent blog entry about Queer Channel Media’s interview with HRC’s HRC:
Hillary said she would prefer the Employment Non-Discrimination Act be introduced in the Senate in an “inclusive form,” meaning with transgender protection, but she declined to comment on the divisive House debate over whether to support ENDA as a gay-only measure if the votes aren’t there for gender identity.
Shouldn’t the complaint be ‘Queer Channel Media apparently didn’t ask her if she was willing to assure trans people that she would use her presidential muscle to ensure passage of a trans-inclusive ENDA’?
Oh…
I forgot.
You don’t really want that, now do you?
Of course, neither does HRC’s HRC…which brings me to:
Clinton was at her weakest when Kevin [Naff] asked her to respond to the claim by Obama supporters that he talks about gay rights much more often before non-gay audiences. Rather than respond to the substance, she quipped that she found the claim “ironic since Senator Obama had his gospel tour with [Donnie] McClurkin that he and his supporters would take credit for that.”
The real irony is that the McClurkin episode was only one of many when Obama did what Clinton will not, reiterating even to his own base supporters that he disagrees with them on gay rights and will work to fight homophobia within their community. Hillary Clinton has never showed that sort of strength.
I do hate agreeing with The Lame One, but….

Sorry, got to disagree with you again. Hillary, as far as I know, doesn’t start off speaking tour with homphobic speakers! For him to have those bigots opening for him is offering his consent to their views.
Also Hillary is being smart with her comments. Opening her mouth and spouting off anything and everything will only give the Republicans more ammunition for the fall. It’s called smart politics, something I would have thought you knew about. You’re got Obamania BAD.

I don’t have Obamania. I have HRC’s HRC-phobia.
Whatever HRC’s HRC sez in 2008 will ultimately be irrelevant to the amount and intensity of ammunition that the Christofascists will have at their disposal to use against her. For all practical purposes they began the attack in 1992. They simply don’t have enough on Obama to do the damage they’ll need to do.
