form of populist discourse that thinly veils ethnic or sexist prejudice

Wow, that’s a stretch, but given your predilection for extravagant
assertions, I’m not surprised. Hillary is the leading candidate for
the Dem nomination, and as no less than the Note put it this morning,
since a Dem is likely to be elected in 2008, she’s W’s most likely
successor. She’s not talking out of both sides of her mouth - she’s
speaking out of one, and it’s fairly right wing. A lot of liberals
and feminists (and, sad to say, black voters) have a weakness for
her, and that weakness should be challenged at every opportunity.
Fuck McCain, he’s completely worthless.
