Opinion: A New Low for Our Nation's Politics
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 26) -- There are so many warning signs that negativity is devouring honest political discourse in our country, and one of these recently made me a very unwilling part of it. When misogyny becomes part of victory at any price, our democracy is embarrassed and endangered. Here's what happened, and here's why I'm angry and why I feel any American of whatever party or gender should be furious too.

Rachel Uchitel, Elena Kagan, and Our Double Standard about Sex as Savvy Career Move
By Sarah Wildman - Politics DailyHas it always been this way? For some reason, the career advancement of a serious, intellectual woman -- Elena Kagan, just for instance -- can be jeopardized over mere rumors about a very private life she prefers for whatever reason to keep private. Yet for gals like Michelle McGee or Rachel Uchitel, dicey sexual behavior is a sure-fire career enhancer. Yes, broadcast a sex tape or publish naughty stripper photos and you're on your way; thus are gals who've done nothing more than be blessed with tight abdominals and a proclivity for shaking what God (or a surgeon) gave 'em celebrated with ...

By David Knowles - Politics DailyAccording to blogger and radio host Taylor Marsh, the answer is pretty clear. Monday's incident, in which John McCain volunteered his wife for a topless beauty contest at the Sturgis, South Dakota biker bash, is but one more instance of what Marsh sees as a pattern of sexist behavior from the Arizona Senator:Hello, all of you anti Obama zealots, got misogyny?

Clinton Campaign Coverage Was Sexiest
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe sexiest campaign coverage was reserved for Hillary Clinton's primary run, according to many political observers. This reporter, himself, has been referred to as "sexiest" innumerable times by readers on these forums, and while I did like the way my hair looked in that one picture from the Philadelplhia event, I think they're just flattering...wait, I'm getting something in my earpiece...how's that?...Sexist? From The New York Times: Angered by what they consider sexist news coverage of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, many women and erstwhile ...
No Punishment for White Sox's Blow-Up Dolls
By Matt Watson - AOL NewsIt seems the White Sox' blow-up doll controversy will deflate without any real repercussion (aside from maybe karma). According to the Chicago Sun-Times, officials from the commissioner's office contacted the White Sox to discuss the incident but have decided not to levy any punishment, which seems to suit GM Ken Williams just fine:"I will assure Major League Baseball that the doll was not violated in any way, shape or form," Williams said. "In all seriousness, it is a little bit of a disappointment because we have proactively tried to -- and just did so this spring training -- ...
