Lately I’ve been feeling bad for U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. This is perhaps the most successful female lawyer of all time, and yet all we ever hear about is that she’s too tall, too gawky, and just plain unattractive. What does that have to do with anything?
Is it her choice to go through life unattractive and unattached? I don’t think so. I saw her interviewed once and she poignantly said that she really felt bad about never having had the opportunity to get married and have children, or for that matter, to even date all that much. Is that funny to anybody? Maybe to those dyed-blonde, face-lifted Tammy Faye Bakker-looking scuzzes who sit at Republican fundraisers and laugh at stupid stuff like that. But it shouldn’t be funny to anybody who has a heart instead of just a wallet.
