The Year in Women: The Good, Bad, and Iffy
2008 was the year that women took it on the chin. Even human punchline Paris Hilton had a laugh at the expense of John McCain, who'd famously likened Obama's celebrity to hers.

Tavis Smiley asked Newt Gingrich the following: what if the 17-year-old Bristol Palin was a black girl? And what if she was, instead, the teenage daughter of Michelle and Barack Obama?

Imagine this revelation from a Democratic candidate, and particularly a black Democratic candidate. Imagine the uproar over what a bad example they were setting for the youth and parents of America.

Hillary Clinton needs to start making some campaign appearances for Barack Obama and get on board the bandwagon in order to help this process along.

This week, Bush's imperial presidency took another hit from the Supreme Court that initially put him in place. Score one for habeas corpus. John McCain once again showed there is very little space between himself and Bush on the "transcendent issues," declaring the Gitmo ruling "one of the worst in this country's history." McCain also claimed it was "not too important" when our troops come home from Iraq. Elsewhere, Fox News topped (or is it bottomed?) its "terrorist fist jab" sleaze, calling Michelle "Obama's Baby Mama." Somewhere, David Duke is smiling. This week also saw the shocking death of Tim Russert. The disbelief and sadness aroused by his sudden and untimely passing have led to many Father's Day weekend conversations about the fragility of life and the need to count our blessings while we are here.

Michelle Obama is no "baby mama". I still am dumbfounded by what an offensive, insensitive, racially charged reference Fox News made.

I imagine the Fox News room, though it is located in New York City, is even farther behind the curve of black culture than Iowa. Like...Thriller is new. That type of behind.

As discussion swirls around 'fist-bumps' and so-called 'news stations' labeling the next potential First Lady as 'Obama's Baby Mama' let us all be very clear: racism is not ok just because it's on Fox.
