A Little British Perspective on Clinton’s Kentucky victory

Matt Gunterman May 21st, 2008

I’ve had to answer so, so many questions about the Clinton victory in Kentucky from international friends. I’ve been answering as best I can and in as nuanced a way as possible [ahem]. Here’s a little (brilliant) international perspective. Before you know it, we’ll be having gay marriages all over Kentucky.

From The Guardian (UK):

Clinton wins Kentucky

    Although you make fun of Clinton in this post I think it rings true!! Just as James Carville put it: Clinton can give one of her balls to Obama and she would still have more balls than he does. I am a strong Hillary supporter. I am NOT racist and I am NOT white. I am a Soldier deployed in Afghanistan and I see Hillary as the only one who can bring us home. Although my support will be in Obama’s corner, I have many doubts about him. I will unite and vote for Obama and help DITCH MITCH!!!

    Looks like another one for Hillary Clinton Sexism Watch. Balls? Really?

    Terri, it was actually the case that Clinton supporters were making reference to Hillay’s balls. I think that’s the point the cartoon’s trying to make: that even Hillary’s own people seemed compelled to make the case that she had testicles. No joke:

    Racism, sexism and homophobia exist here in Kentucky, I know because I’ve been all over Kentucky and listened to what folks have to say and I refuse to bury my head in the sand and pretend I haven’t heard or or seen these things.
