BARNICLE, Mike (MSNBC)
When she reacts the way she reacts to Obama with just the look, the look toward him, looking like everyone's first wife standing outside a probate court, ok?
BECK, Glenn (CNN)
Big news from New Hampshire tonight is: It cries. After spending decades stripping away all trace of emotion, femininity, and humanity, Hillary Clinton actually broke down and actually cried yesterday on the campaign trail.
Hillary, we see what's happening here. You're losing, and this is some sort of bizarre, last-ditch strategy to ingratiate you with women, maybe? Or make you seem less like the Terminator? I mean, I've — I wouldn't put it past you to have your eye fall out and this little red light coming out of your eye socket. I'm just saying…
BUCHANAN, Pat (Political analyst).
"[When she] raises her voice, and when a lot of women do, you know, it's — as I say — it reaches a point ... where every husband in America ... has heard at one time or another." Later he would admit: "I know that's a sexist comment ... but there's truth to it! ... There's truth to it. It's very difficult for women to reach those kinds of levels effectively, as it is to make them sort of a rally speech. They're not good at that."
CAFFERTY, Jack (CNN)
A couple of days later, she morphed into a scolding mother, talking down to a child…She wasn’t finished. Resembling someone with multiple-personality disorder…
CASTELLANOS, Alex (CNN)
(About ‘white bitches’) And some women, by the way, are named that and it's accurate. [Hillary] is a tough — that tough lady, tough in politics, that's been her great strength. But let's face it, she can be a very abrasive, aggressive, irritating person, and a lot of voters, I think, see her that way."
COHEN, Steve (Democratic Congressman supporting Barack Obama)
(When asked about whether Clinton should drop out of the race) “Glenn Close should’ve stayed in that tub” (see: RUDIN, Kenn)
GIVHAN, Roben (Washington Post)
Hillary showing three centimeters of cleavage under a long-sleeved jacket on a hot July-day, earned her a 747-word tut-tut from this Pullitzer Prize-winning journalist. "No one wants to see that! Just look away!"
HARWOOD, John (Wallstreet Journal)
(about the same "cleavage") When you look......at the calculation that goes into everything that Hillary Clinton does, for her to argue that she was not aware of what she was communicating by her dress is like Barry Bonds saying he thought he was rubbing down with flaxseed oil, okay?
HITCHENS, Christopher (Vanity Fair columnist)
I just think that if she knew how it made her look, sort of alternately soppy and bitchy, she'd stop it. But she can't help herself, can she? She just can't.
HUME, Brit (Fox)
HUME (8/23/99): The picture he [President Clinton] paints of Mrs. Clinton is of a sort of a femme fatale. Now [posting the picture] that’s about what she looked like then.
[LAUGHTER]
And one—one can’t help but wonder about this.[…]
JUAN WILLIAMS: The problem...is that nobody can believe, one, that she was this beautiful woman in college—anyone who’s seen the pictures. And two, who can believe that she didn’t know that this guy was a skirt-chaser all along?
JEFF BIRNBAUM: Well, I should point out, about the love-in-college part, that love is blind.
[LAUGHTER]
But that also—
HUME: Well, he never said she was beautiful. He said she was “compelling looking.” And that she may well have been!
KRISTOL, Bill (Fox)
She pretended to cry, the women liked it. The women were sorry for her, and she won."
Look, the only people for Hillary Clinton are the Democratic establishment and white women. The Democratic establishment — it would be crazy for the Democratic Party to follow an establishment that's led it to defeat year after year. White women are a problem, that's, you know — we all live with that.
LIMBAUGH, Rush (right-wing radio host)
It's almost an addiction that some people have to what I call the perfection that Hollywood presents of successful, beautiful, fun-loving people. So the question is this: Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?
This is Clinton's testicle lockbox. It is big enough for the entire Democrat hierarchy, not just some people in the media.
MALKIN, Michelle (columnist)
"You all saw the famous photo from the weekend of Hillary looking so haggard and, what, looking like 92 years old. If that's the face of experience, I think it's going to scare away a lot of those independent voters that are on the fence."
MATTHEWS, Chris (MSNBC)
"she-devil" : on the November 18, 2007 NBC syndicated Chris Matthews Show, host Chris Matthews teased a discussion by asking: "She Devil? Republicans are absolutely demonizing (Sen.) Hillary Clinton (D-NY)." While he spoke, an image of Hillary Clinton appeared on screen with the words "She Devil" below it. Later, an image of Clinton with devil horns appeared on screen while Matthews discussed a poll of panelists about whether it was "smart politics for Republicans to demonize Hillary Clinton, get real personal about it. Eleven say yes, just one says no, it's not smart."
"a stripteaser saying she's flattered by the attention"
"an uppity woman"
He has called her "witchy"
"[her voice can] grate on some men when they listen to it, [like] fingers on a blackboard."
He has referred to men who support her as "castratos in the eunuch chorus."
He has suggested Clinton is not "a convincing mom"
He said "modern women" like Clinton are unacceptable to "Midwest guys."
He has called her "Madame Defarge"
And "Nurse Ratched."During the December 4 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews asked about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): "So does her attack on him [Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL)] for having had ambition as a teeny-bopper — not a teeny-bopper, a kindergartner, does she look like Nurse Ratched here?"
Let’s not forget: And I’ll be brutal…the reason she’s a US Senator, the reason she’s a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around. That’s how she got to be Senator of New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn’t win on her merit, she won because everybody felt ‘my god, this woman stood up after humiliation. Right? That’s what happened? That’s how it happened.
He described her performance at a debate last Saturday as apparently "good enough to seem good enough here for women who wanted to root for her anyway."
Let me tell you how short Hillary’s leash is. If you’re a guy going door to door trying to sell something, she’ll say: “You have to wait for my husband to get home”
(June 9,'08 after Hillary dropped out) Show opens with the text "FREE AT LAST" and comments "free from HRC... and the "ties that bind..."

“IRON MY SHIRT” (sign held up at a rally)
“How do we beat the bitch?” (question asked by a female supporter to Sen.McCain
“I’ve got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one” (quote lifted from a Jay-Z song; the song in question was played while Barack Obama and his wife triumphantly entered the victory party held in Des Moines, Iowa)
Citizens United Not Timid (name of an Anti-Hillary PAC)
OBAMA, Barack
You’re challenging the status-quo, and all of a sudden, the claws come out.
I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically, when she’s feeling down launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal
OBAMA, Michelle
One of the things, the important aspects of this race is role-modelling what good families should look like. And my view is that if you can’t run your own house, you certainly can’t run the White House. Can’t do it!
OLBERMANN, Keith (MSNBC)
Howard Fineman: "some adults somewhere in the Democratic party to step in and stop this thing, like a referee in a fight that could go on for thirty rounds. Those are the super, super, super delegates who are going to have to decide this."
Keith Olbermann: "Right. Somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out."
POWER, Samantha (Former Obama Foreign Policy Advisor)
Hillary Clinton is a monster (Power left the campaign after this comment)
RHODES, Randi (‘Liberal’ Radio Host)
What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She such a fuking whore…Hillary is a big fucking whore too…
RUDIN, Ken (NPR)
Well, first of all, let's be honest here, Hillary Clinton is Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. She's going to keep coming back, and they're not going to stop her.
RUDOV, Marc (Men’s Rights Activist)
When Barack Obama speaks, men hear, 'Take off for the future.' And when Hillary Clinton speaks, men hear, 'Take out the garbage.'
The woman is not called a B-word because she acts assertive and aggressive, she’s called a B-word because she acts like one.
(When asked about the down-sides of a woman being the most powerful person in the world by Bill O’Reilly) You mean besides the PMS and the mood-swings, right?
SCARBOROUGH, JOE (MSNBC)
[She is] very shrill. There is a shrillness in Hillary that comes out on TV whenever she gets excited about something.
SHUSTER, David (MSNBC)
But doesn’t it seem like Chelsea’s sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way? [Shuster was suspended for this remark]
SNYDER, Pete (Republican strategist)
You know, I think someone is going to have to go out there and take her behind the barn. You know, I grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and that's kind of the term to use for that. And I'm not lifting that language there.
CARLSON, Tucker (MSNBC)
The one thing we learned from the Lorena Bobbitt case is that there’s a great deal of resentment of women aimed at men…
[Sen.Clinton] feels castrating, overbearing and scary . . .
(About the Hillary-nutcracker) That is so perfect. As I have often said: When she comes on television, I involuntarily close my legs.
WILLIAMS, Juan (Fox)
See: HUME, Brit
WRIGHT, Jeremiah (Former Pastor of the Obamas)
Hillary ain’t had to work twice as hard just to get accepted
Oh really?
