This weekend, Terry O'Neill (age 56) bested Latifa Lyles (age 33) in what has been painted as a old-vs.-young battle for the helm of the National Organization for Women. But was it really an anti-abortion vs. pro-choice battle? More »

P.U.M.A. in chief Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild joined the cast of Fox & Friends this morning to gift us with her special brand of ill-informed crazy. In addition to declaring that the election of Barack Obama has helped to conquer all racism, she would like us to know that feminism is fundamentally about electing women to office, regardless of said women's positions on issues that matter to other women. Oh, and she castigated the elected women of the Democratic party for not standing up for Hillary Clinton in the primary, a statement the many female House members, Senators and Governors of the party (listed after the jump) who did support Clinton until she dropped out would take issue with if anyone but Republicans gave a shit about this woman anymore.

Trying to figure out where the P.U.M.A.'s are coming from? Well, a certain passage from the Boston Globe is illuminating. In reference to Gloria Allred's argument that Hillary supporters need to rally behind Obama because "we can't have McCain appointing two Supreme Court vacancies," the Globe has this to report: "Many were older women who remember an America where abortion rights were not guaranteed - but are also at an age when those rights may not be as relevant to their lives. 'I'm not pregnant,' said Jeannie Stratton, 51, from Washington who said she plans to vote for McCain to protest how the Democratic Party treated Clinton." [Boston Globe] More »

I'm about the leave for the airport to help kick off the start of the Democratic National Convention tonight with various bashes, booze, and bonding with other bloggers. One of those bloggers already in Denver is Kay Steiger, who works at Campus Progress and will be blogging for Pushback and RH Reality Check while she's there. She's one of our rotating clan of conventioneering Crappyists for the next week, and she gets right into the Crappy spirit with a hangover, a discussion of Madonna's newest endorsement, what I could teach Chris Matthews and where Bill Kristol can stick his new-found feminism (hint: it's also a synonym for donkey).
