Senator Dianne Feinstein made an appearance on Fox News Sunday and really went out on a limb in her efforts to show her support of Clinton:

When asked by Chris Matthews if there is their gender bias in the campaign, Feinstein responded:

"I do. I do." She then lamented the focus on Clinton's hair and her suits... What gender bias? Does she not remember the focus on John Edwards hair? Seriously, it may have helped to end the Edwards' campaign... (click here for the I feel pretty video on YouTube)

Then she went on to assert a more ridiculous point:

"If anyone is qualified to run for this office, Chris, Senator Clinton is. Eight years in the White House- sure as First Lady, I know that. You know Hillary. You know her interest in policy. You know her care and concern about people and most important, right now, I think it is the economy and her knowledge of what's happened to the middle class in the last eight years and how you mend that and bring people up into becoming economically upwardly mobile. That's what we should be talking about. Instead of I read a lot of stuff which is really irrelevant to the kind of President she will be and I think some of it is driven by the fact that it's easy to hit at a woman."

Unless Hillary plans to educate people how to turn $10,000 into $100,000 I am not sure what knowledge she has about helping the middle class become upwardly mobile.

Hillary has not taken any serious media hits and the failure of the MSM to target her record and lack of experience and success is demonstrative. When the going has gotten tough, Hillary has gotten tearful- raising issues about the stereotypes of women being unable to control their emotions.

8 years as First Lady counts as experience that merits a White House run? Imagine Nancy Reagan running for president in 1988? The media would have gone ape.

The points made by Feinstein do nothing to prove Hillary's competence to hold the most important job in the world. Note, Feinstein did not call attention to all of Hillary's successes in the Senate- she hasn't had any. Note that Feinstein had nothing to say about Clinton's success in the private sector- that would raise the issues of the Rose Law Firm.

If a person wanted to be the Chief Executive of any company in the United States, there would surely be some sort of job description requiring a resume boasting of accomplishment. If only we had a job description for the Presidency.

Feinstein's job description for the Office of the Presidency:

• personal experience observing spouse serve as leader of the free world
• interest in public policy
• care and concern about people
• knowledge of the middle class

Other than the spouse part, I am very interested in policy. I have a tremendous amount of care and concern about people. I am very knowledgeable about the middle class- I live in it. Unlike Hillary Clinton, I actually understand the impact policies in Washington have on people in the real world- a world Clinton hasn't lived in for a very long time. I would argue that I have personally run programs for non-profits and coordinated the care of my children who have very severe disabilities. (Trust me when I say that I am confident Clinton would struggle to perform my duties.) I have assisted families of children with disabilities access services from many different government agencies and I am certain that is more difficult than writing the bills that lead to those services. Perhaps I should be running for President...

Just kidding- this is unbelievable!

If Feinstein really believes that if anyone is qualified to run for President it is Senator Clinton then the people of California should consider her competence.

The race to be President of the United States should not be a popularity contest like we see in campaigns for President of a Senior Class. Candidacies should not be owed. No one should be entitled to the support of the party.

While the President should be likable, likability should not be determinative. While the candidates should be able to articulate their beliefs, the ability to give a speech, often written by another person, should not be determinative. While the person should be of good character, character alone should not be determinative.

In addition to the less important qualities noted above, the person we elect President should have the proven ability to lead through times both easy and hard. The President should be a person who can face challenges with dignity and strength. Male or female, regardless of race, the President should be a person of great personal achievement.

Senator Feinstein's support of Hillary Clinton seems unrelated to her belief that Clinton meets any of these requirements as she failed to raise any example of Clinton's personal achievements. She has a longtime friendship with Clinton and that seems to be enough for her.

I hope that this is not enough for the voters.
