So, America’s best-known He-Man Woman Haters Club finally lets in two women, and one of them is named Darla. No one else finds this funny?
The other first woman admitted to Augusta National is known as Condi, and no one is surprised. Condoleezza Rice is one of the most accomplished people of the age, male or female; she is also an avid golfer and sports fan, so she should fit right in on Magnolia Drive.
Yet Rice’s obvious qualifications obscure the extraordinary fact that one of August National’s first female members was once a little girl in Birmingham, excluded from water fountains and schools, personally affected by the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Good Lord, what a life.
I”m a Condi fan. I think it’s good of her to do this. I sure wouldn’t want to. She’s has to sit across from crazy despots with a crush on her, and she handled that just fine, so I think she’ll behave with perfect decorum. Good for her for bothering. Prejudice–of all kinds–is just exhausting.
