    • 2000, Susan Estrich, Sex and power:
      I joke all the time that the reason for my success as a television pundette is not that I have run campaigns or taught law for twenty years, and thus might actually know what I am talking about, but that I have blonde hair and legs almost as good as those of the twenty- and thirty-something blondes []

      When pundettes tut-tut that playing the victim is not what a feminist should do, they forget that Hillary is not a feminist.
