She’s Back: Hillary Resumes High Profile Schedule in Washington

Sen. Hillary Clinton has been out of the headlines recently, taking a break after concluding her presidential run. But the Crypt (Politico) reports advance word of her upcoming schedule:

“The details have not been released about her schedule, but a Senate Democratic aide confirmed to Politico that Clinton will have a significant event in the Senate next week, followed by a meeting Thursday with Barack Obama's campaign finance team. Clinton will top off her re-emergence with a major campaign event Friday with Obama, at a location that still remains secret.

“There had been some reports that Clinton might take a full month off after ending her presidential campaign and not return to Capitol Hill until after the Fourth of July recess, but she will be on the Hill next week getting back to work and holding public and private events aimed at maintaining a high profile. Clinton took a four-day vacation last week — the destination has not been revealed — before showing up at Tim Russert's funeral this week.

“Check back with The Crypt for details about Clinton's public schedule as they leak out.”

In Response to Hillary’s Campaign Finale

I just watched Hillary Clinton’s speech in Washington in which she thanked her supporters and endorsed Barack Obama. I was deeply moved and inspired by her words, but I’m still far too outraged by the blatant sexist and misogynist behavior I’ve witnessed repeatedly throughout the Democratic primary from both party leaders and the good old boys’ network in the media to match the magnanimity of Clinton's spirit.

In a recent CBS News poll, 45 percent of the respondents perceived the media had been harder on Clinton than on the other candidates; 67% said this was due to gender bias. The American people have seen what was going on; where have the Democratic party leaders been? Why didn’t Howard Dean speak out against the sexism and misogyny?

Until I am convinced the Democratic party will never again allow one of its own to be subjected to such utter disrespect simply because she happens to be a woman, I’m one lifelong Democrat who will hereafter register as an independent.
