But I think that misogyny is pretty fucking stupid, too. And the two are intricately intertwined here, in my humble opinion. Well, I’d be one of the last to argue that Americans aren’t stupid.

She showed a little emotion - big deal. The media was predictably over the moon about it but in my mind it has less to do with misogyny than simple lack of intelligence. We simply aren't very smart anymore, or we'd demand better news coverage. We have a dunce who was never elected in office, anti-intellectual dolts like Chris Matthews are rewarded with their own shows and people think Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, two DLC clones, represent "change." It pains me to say it, but America's just stupid and getting dumber every day. Why do people keep saying that Hillary cried? She showed a little emotion – big deal.

I looked at Oliphant's previous cartoons, actually none of them are funny at all. You know what's odd is the interview with the lady who asked the question that prompted Hillary Clinton to cry, where the questioner said she was moved by her response but was then turned off by how quickly Clinton regained her posture. I have no idea how to gauge that kind of a reaction. By the way hope you didn't offense to my previous comment on the office "temptress" post. I've heard this argument a million times before as I'm sure you have, and each time it just comes off as some dude whining about how completely incapable he is of making decisions on his own, while villifying women. Doesn't make us look good. I saw this cartoon earlier, it was really terrible. I looked at Oliphant’s previous cartoons, actually none of them are funny at all.
