"Obama's Angels" Reduces Cabinet Picks to Sexy Playthings

By , About.com Guide   January 28, 2009

Follow me on:

There was bound to be a backlash against Obama appointing a number of accomplished, intelligent women to his Cabinet.

But when The National Interest, a print magazine that purports to offer "informed analysis and frank but reasoned exchanges on foreign policy and international affairs" reduces three of Obama's most prominent picks to pop culture playthings, there's definitely some serious misogyny going on.

Get this - it's Hillary Clinton, Janet Napolitano, and Susan E. Rice as "Obama's Angels." Now how wrong is that? So wrong that even a guy 'gets it' and speaks out in disgust.
