Top Five Women in Politics Who Have Been Called Crazy

It is common to call women in politics crazy when you don’t like what they’ve said. And to really commit to the belief that they’re crazy. Look, I might not agree with some of these women. I might think some of them are nasty, and not too bright, and narrow-minded. But none of them is actually crazy. They haven’t said anything more outlandish than a lot of the men of their respective parties, but the guys haven’t been accused to that extent of being crazy. As a guy, you’ve got to go full-on Glenn Beck before you get called crazy.

5. Sharron Angle: Remember her? She ran against Harry Reid in the 2008 House election.
What, me, crazy? Nah.
4. Michele Bachmann: She says some things that sound “out there” to moderates and liberals, but she’s not all that crazy.
Crazy? Crazy-hot her male supporters say.
3. Sarah Palin: She’s not a great scholar of politics or history, but she’s best known for being brash and very “normal,” not crazy crazy.
What, me worry?
2. Christine O’Donnell:Oh, yeah, the witch thing, and some other unusual comments . . . but still, not completely bat-shit nuts, either.
And, just what you were waiting for, one from the other party:
1. Hilary Clinton: She’s tough when she needs to be, but she’s not loony. However, she is capable of making some CRAZY-looking faces. That’s true.
