Matthews has also spouted that Clinton is "witchy," "anti-male" and "uppity." And he was one of the first to mock Ms. Clinton's laugh, saying "what do you make of the cackle?" In his eyes, she's Maleficent, a full-on Disney witch. Matthews has questioned whether a woman can lead: "[L]et's talk about the troops... Will they take the orders?" and on another occasion, wondered, "Is she hemmed in by the fact that she's a woman and can't admit a mistake, or else the Republicans will say, 'Oh, that's a woman's prerogative to change her mind,' or 'another fickle woman'? Is her gender a problem in her ability to change her mind?" Because obviously, women can't make up their minds. Ever! Clinton's personal life isn't even off-limits; Matthews has mused, "Is she a convincing mom?" Has Mr. Matthews ever asked if any of the male candidates look like convincing dads? Would he dare pinch John McCain's cheek? The 62-year-old news anchor went to Catholic schools; does Hillary need to smack his knuckles with a ruler before she can gain is respect? And can we agree that no matter what your political allegiances, this is not the way you speak of a woman — whether she is a senator or not?
