Related: About this forumAs a woman I am STILL waiting for an apology from Hillary for Albright's comments.
When Albright said that there is a special place in hell for women that don't support other women - Hillary thought that was Hilarious!
During the PBS Debate on February 11th, she was asked by the moderator about those comment, was given a chance to apologize and instead defended Albright - Oh she's been saying that for years. She did NOT apologize!

How does she ever expect to win the vote of women if she will NOT walk back those comments?
Especially for women like myself that were activists in the gender equality movement of the 70s?
I know that millions of women support Hillary. How nice it would be to finally crack open that glass ceiling.
Hillary will do so much to move women forward....
Really? If breaking the glass ceiling is going to move women forward than why did she allow a surrogate for her campaign belittle other women?
This is not going away. Not for me. I have been a proud feminist my entire adult life. I fought too hard for women's equality to support a woman for President that threw me and millions of other women under the bus.
To borrow a phrase from Hillary herself - Shame on you, Hillary Clinton. Shame on you.

Damn that's actually not funny.

I'd think you'd be waiting for an apology from Albright for Albright's comments.

(113,082 posts)in reference to women's issues all over the world. It's been one of her standard applause lines. I agree with her that, though it was one of her old tried and true applause lines, it had absolutely no place being used in the context of an election. I suppose if Albright was a real politician she would have been more careful about how what she said would sound like in the context of an election race.
I excused the blunder, because I heard the lines in reference to women's issues
.I can understand why others wouldn't, though, if they only heard it inappropriately during an election.

(6,644 posts)so often they decide if they can't get their candidate nominated they don't vote at all. I see that a lot of those people who love Bernie and hate Hillary.

(7,830 posts)Even if she did somehow manage to fake her way through an apology, she wouldn't mean it.
What percentage of words that pass her lips does she mean, anyways? 10% maybe?
