Unlikely Words

Truly!

I don’t know what prompted Lewis to back Clinton; he marched between Obama and Clinton in Selma, but worshipped with Obama afterwards as you can see above. But I very much doubt that Bill did not have a word with him. Again: the way in which Hillary uses her marriage to advance her own power is striking. No real feminist would do this; only someone who postures as a feminist while using her husband as a tool.

I’m not sure this even makes sense. Using her husband’s connections to her advantage is somehow un-feminist? If Sullivan’s new husband (congratulations, by the way) was a former President of the United States, wouldn’t he be an idiot not to use those connections, especially if he wanted the same job? Is Sullivan opposed to networking?

There’s also something weird and patronizing in the fact that Sullivan sees something sinister in a prominent African-American’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton. (”A rising black politician in the Democratic party is a threat to them and their power over blacks.”) Yes, obviously, the only possible reason a black man wouldn’t endorse another black man is because of the eeeeevil Clintons.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not voting for Hillary, but this is nuts.

(And a shame, too, because the previous post on Sullivan’s blog is good.)
