James Carville: Hillary has three balls
I'm sorry, but I can't say anything about this. I didn't even read it. Just the headline was enough to make me throw my hands in the air and then put my face in my hand and shake my head.
Carville: If Hillary Gave Obama "One Of Her Cojones, They'd Both Have Two"

I do wonder how far it has to go before guilt by association with James Carville becomes an electability issue. This is what voters want to talk about, David Gregory.

"3 Balls" Clinton. She sounds like a tough ombre.

I don't want to know how James Carville came by the information regarding Clinton's testicular endowments.
TMI!

This is the third pundit/politician (all men) in a week who has claimed that Hillary somehow has testicles. Verrrry bizarre. What does it mean?

Well, Carville himself said not count on him for an objective opinion. He says whatever is necessary to advance his candidate's cause. I've always listened to him for entertainment value only.

So she really doesn't have balls? ;-)

I love the headline, it is a great break from the "other" math. 3 balls and not enough votes or delegates.

They are trying to question Obama's masculinity, implying that the elite, cool-headed senator doesn't have what it takes to duke it out with Hillary on the back of a pick-up truck.
They've got two objectives here:
1) Appeal to the much vaunted male working class vote.
2) Get Obama on the defensive and thus coax him to lash out. (At which point, they will immediately play victim and say he's a hypocrite for negative campaigning.)
Doesn't look like he's going to take the bait. And speaking of bait, this is an advancement over the conventional racist depiction of black men in our society as being aggressively over-sexed.
It sure complicates Hillary's feminist base, though, doesn't it? I wonder how Gloria Steinem is reacting to this round of comments.

Gollum grabs for the ring!
It was his long ago, now he wants it back!

Gloria Steinem is offended that you question Hillary's testicles. Everyone knows that, on average, women in America have 200% fewer testicles than men do. It's time somebody did something about it, and that somebody is Hillary Clinton.
Can somebody call Judith Butler about Olbermann tonight?

What's funny to me, is that this the 2nd or 3rd time in the past week someone has mentioned Hillary's balls. And I'm wondering about the very loud silence we're hearing from feminist on this? The same people who were getting pissed when pepole were suggesting Hillary had balls back in Iowa are now tacitly endorsing this sort of talk.

What does Bill think about this? Has he ever noticed, or have they always slept in separate rooms?

When Hillary menaced Iran with nuclear annihilation, I asked what the difference between her and Bush was. Some witty person said that Hillary pees sitting down. Now we might need to question that assumption.
Yowzer!
