Marjorie Margolies. Emmy winner now out of Congress but she had been elected with Bill Clinton’s first term and rep’d an area outside Philadelphia. Democrat. So, with stuff oozing out about unemployed Kamala, ventriloquist Jill Biden, whoever’s trying to unseat Hochul, is it tougher for a woman in politics than a man?
“Yes. First off I have trouble with TV’s female anchors. Like all blond. Dead of winter, wearing sleeveless dresses. And they apologize more than men. Instead, they just need to marginalize their next comment. Not repeat what’s just been said. When I was born, broadcasting was not simply repeating what’s just been said. There’s not that kind of interest now. In my beginnings we’d spend the whole day getting both sides.”

“I grew up as an athlete. Tried for the Olympics but that didn’t work. I was basically a student. Went to Penn. Studied journalism. Worked at NPR. Then NBC. Next I got married. He had four girls already. Then we ended up with two boys. One you hear about periodically because he married Chelsea Clinton. I’d adopted two Asian girls. Next I was asked to take in a refugee boy, age 4, who’s now an anesthesiologist.

In the ’90s, “a group suggested I run for Congress.”
Yeah, OK, but washing didees and shoving pablum down a kid’s throat does not exactly usually ready a person for Congress.
“But I was. Immediately I noticed women added something and we should have been represented — but weren’t. Women were not included on everything. We weren’t on different committees we should’ve been on.
“To put it simply, I think guys were just not yet used to female operators.”
So, about today’s upgrade in what’s with downgrade merch in whatever grade the Hamptons is in during fund-raising time.
