Anyone who saw the Democratic Presidential Debate last night will understand what has me madder than a bee in a jar.

It was the last question of the evening and a woman stood up with a question just for Mrs. Clinton. She then proceeded to ask “which did she prefer, diamonds or pearls?”

WAS SHE KIDDING??

She has an opportunity to ask a question… face to face… of the people vying to be the “leader of the free world” and she wastes it on that airheaded blip about jewelry.

Not only did she squander a once in a lifetime opportunity but she made the rest of us (and by “us” I mean American women) look like complete bimbos.

Now I’m not Hillary’s biggest fan. Not that I wouldn’t take her over that idiot in the White House any day of the week… I’m just not sure if I would vote for her. I’m basing that on my feelings about her politics though NOT her gender. She is arguably the first woman in history to have a serious chance of being elected as the President of the United States. This is a BIG DEAL people and I have to give her props for posing a serious challenge to every man on that stage.

Women have to work harder to be taken seriously in every arena that is (or has been) dominated by men. And women like this question-asker certainly don’t make that any easier. If other women don’t take us seriously, how can we ever believe that men will?

Was it just me or did anyone else have a similar reaction when they heard that question last night?
