-
- She didn't say so in those precise words, but she _did_ imply
- that a woman with a career was somehow rejecting her "essential nature
- as a woman".
-
- She herself is a good counterexample, since she has not stayed
- home and baked cookies, but assisted our favorite Veep in his
- political career.

-
- Even if what that _was_ what she meant, she should not have
- slurred any woman who derives any satisfaction out of being something
- other than a glorified nursemaid.
-
- And slur she did, by implying that it was against a woman's
- "essential nature".
-
- And she has demonstrated blatant hypocrisy by supporting her
- husband's political career and not being a good housewife and staying
- home and baking cookies.
