CHARLOTTE ALLEN: “How dumb can we [women] get?”
I can’t help it, but reading about such episodes of screaming, gushing and swooning [over Obama] makes me wonder whether women — I should say, “we women,” of course — aren’t the weaker sex after all. Or even the stupid sex, our brains permanently occluded by random emotions, psychosomatic flailings and distraction by the superficial.
