Mr. and Mrs. ClintonIn the webwide search to pat the blog on its back, I offer this tidbit.  Phyllis M. Meek,Gainesvile, meekly lauds Bitsblog, kind of, sort of: 

Another example of on-going sexism is the news coverage of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Why is she typically referred to as “Hillary” rather than Senator Clinton? Referring to a woman in a powerful position by her first name definitely is sexist.

I do not refer to Senator Clinton as Hillary.   I refer to her as Mrs. Clinton.   Using her married name of Mrs Clinton fully connects her to her reprobate husband Mr. B.J. Clinton.  Which is precisely why Mrs. Clinton is campaigning under the nom de plum of Hillary.   She too wishs to avoid the association.   Not that I blame her and not that I intend to ever let her slide.

But by all means, the drive-by media should take up Ms Meek’s suggestion and show Mrs. Clinton all the respect she deserves.
