SooMex: NYPost’s Awesome Hillary Cover Is Making Media Matters’ Boehlert Cry. Must be seen to believe http://t.co/x83r29OAJO

Painful.

But the underlying article by Post columnist Michael Goodwin has Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert in a particularly bad mood:

and so it begins….@nypost mocks Hillary as an "aging hoofer" "close to her expiration date." http://t.co/Fvr9olLacy

and if you think DC press will condemn that kind of rancid sexism, you slept through 2008; http://t.co/Fvr9olLacy

So @nypost mocks Hillary as "aging hoofer" "close to her expiration date"…..so, no reason to fear sexism this time! http://t.co/Fvr9olLacy

So far, polite silence from DC pundits in the face of rancid anti-Hillary misogyny from @nypost; that's how the media game gets played.

As we learned in 2008, RW sexist commentary was oddly okay, even among "liberal" commentators, if it was targeted at Hillary. Still true?

Tune in later today for our coverage of the “aging hoofer’s” big announcement.
