Stupid Questions

I have had enough of people asking is Hillary feminine enough or Barak black enough. It is nothing new that women candidates get scrutinized in a way that men do not. We would never see and article that says something like,

Senator Chris Dodd appeared in a crisp white shirt,
with a polka dot tie that didn’t quite match his blue
pin-stripped suit… or

John McCain, his hair in need to a trim unless he
has decided on a new style, spoke…

More important questions might be…

1. How are you going to treat your campaign contributors if you are elected?^
2. Will you published any decisions you make that would affect your contributors along with the amount of their donations?
3. Do you really believe the US needs to spend 50% of all the world’s defense spending
4. When are we going to sign the land mine treaty?
5. When are we going to sign the anti-child soldier treat?
6. When are we going to restore Habeas Corpus?
7. What are you planning to do with the 800 prisons that Halliburton is building?
8. Britain’s foreign minister is saying it is time to start building and stop destroying. What do you think of that and where would you start building?
9. Will you annul the executive order just posted on the White House site about freezing property of anyone threatening Iraq's stability...which as lose as it is written could include Cindy Sheehan or anyone carrying a peace sign?

But then maybe those answers aren’t as important as Hillary’s femininity (but she did wear a pink suit) or Barak’s blackness. After all, it is only the future of the US.
