<em>NY Times</em> Misses Big Slip in Steinem Op-Ed

While the Kennedy family's endorsements have largely gone to Sen. Clinton, the top prize of the liberal lion has yet to be dispensed.

Gloria Steinem has an op-ed in today's New York Times, explaining why a female version of Barack Obama would never make it in the eyes of the American public.

But Steinem, a Clinton supporter, makes a big slip that the Times failed to catch.

What worries me is that reporters ignore Mr. Obama's dependence on the old -- for instance, the frequent campaign comparisons to John F. Kennedy, though Senator Edward Kennedy is supporting Senator Clinton -- while not challenging the slander that her progressive policies are part of the Washington status quo.

Excuse me?

While the Kennedy family's endorsements have largely gone to Sen. Clinton, the top prize of the liberal lion has yet to be dispensed.
