OT as all get out but: now that we know more about the Wicked Witch of the West, it’s time to do some research on Cinderella’s mother. Just what kind of woman was she, considering her best friend was a fairy? A Catholic fairy, no less.

annajcook, at first glance, I also thought the graphic was a Wicked reference. People who want to compare Sen. Clinton to the Wicked Witch of the West would be wise to do more research into the current takes on the character, lest they say more than they intend to…

All I could think when I saw it was, “Hillary as Elphaba standing up to the fascist government!” Somehow, I don’t think that was the message they were going for!

My eight-year-old niece is absolutely obsessed with the musical version of Wicked. She must have sung the entire soundtrack to us over Christmas — twice.

Re: Chris Matthews versus Hillary — Chris Matthews is a sharp cookie and I usually watch his program, but we have to remember that Chris is, at heart, still a Philadelphia cop! Philly is a city I know something about…lived near it all my life and worked there, met my husband there and continue to love the place. But it is a guy’s town, full of Old Boys Networks — the Mummers are a prime example of relegating the women to servant status so the men can strut their stuff in ribbons and laces. Hillary is far too sure of her footing to reassure Chris to relax and just admire Hillary, praise her for her considerable political expertise and her caring heart. At 74, I believe God made Hillary to do honor to our Suffragette Ancestors, who gave their all to get women the vote. That vote will never be fulfilled until we have a woman in the White House. Her time is at hand and we owe our liberating Suffragettes a huge debt of gratitude. Let’s be in solidarity, Sisters of all ages. In 2008, we CAN do it.

And if you are overweight or have a problem with your diet — and I certainly did for years — you may figure Hillary doesn’t like people like me. She’s looking down on me. What do you think?

Yeah, Hillary obviously looks down on people who are “overweight or have a problem with their diets.” It’s not like she’d ever, say, marry someone who’s not in perfect shape and enjoys the occasional Big Mac.

The big question is, why does MSNBC still carry his show when they dumped Phil Donahue, who had the highest-rated show on their network.

Just watched Matthews with Brokaw and an earlier video of Matthews on the Daily Show. He really is a sad guy. I say that with no snark intended.

(oh, and sorry for the multiple comments)

Actually you know what? I just feel bad for Matthews. The way he rips on Clinton makes me think he’s really miserable on the inside.

Damn right Hillary Clinton is better than Chris Matthews.

Love the graphic :) . . . whoever made it hasn’t read Gregory Maguire’s original Wicked novel. All I could think when I saw it was, “Hillary as Elphaba standing up to the fascist government!” Somehow, I don’t think that was the message they were going for!
