Hypocrisy, thy middle name is "Steinem"

Yesterday, I blogged about how feminist icon Gloria Steinem trashed John McCain and said that his military service at best didn't matter and at worst was a negative. Well, turns out that four years ago, she was singing a very different tune: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,605468,00.html.

I guess that when you're a Democrat, military service IS something of which you should be proud. Then again, we all know how much more distinguished John Kerry's military record is when compared with John McCain's, don't we?

As a man who knows what war is like, he has tended to be more restrained in his willingness to wage it.

Yes, she is making a jab at Bush for a lack of military experience, but I'm not so sure it is a praise of Kerry's military experience. She basically says he would be less likely to use the military. I'm not sure if that is because he was once in it or because he is a Democrat.
