Well, Hillary may be "manly." But tougher?

I don't really know, but I try not to be too girly about such things. If you are a man: would you bawl in public like Senator Bird did when talking about Senator Kennedy's illness?

Not 30 YEARS after the fact! Sheesh!

Now, I'm sure that there are still private, tearful moments with other close family and loved ones but certainly NOT on TV and in an auditorium full of strangers! C'mon!

People are different and show their emotions in different ways I don't care how many years it has been.

I think what got to him was the fact that Palin thought she held the market because she was a woman and had children. That is why he reacted the way he did.
