Women Used to Hate Larry Summers...Until He Was Touched by the Obamessiah

It's amazing the rehabilitation an unrepentant sexist can get just by touching the hem of the Obamessiah's garment:

Larry Summers lost his job as Harvard president back in 2006 when the feminist left became infuriated after Summers suggested men and women might be genetically different when it comes to math and sciences. But now that President-elect Obama has chosen Summers to be the director of his National Economic Council, many women have stayed quiet on the subject.

National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy said she has "mixed feelings" regarding Summers. Nancy Snow writes on the Huffington Post that since Summers' new position does not require a lengthy Senate confirmation process, "It falls back on the rest of us to give this Obama administration official the hot spotlight of public scrutiny."

Right, the Huffpo is going to give Obama scrutiny. Just like they did during the whole campaign, assuming that "scrutiny" actually means "endless butt kissing".
