Answer was there all along

Former President Bill Clinton said FBI Director James Comey's was at fault for his wife's presidential election loss, then later said the blame belonged with "angry white men."

Her staffers said it had something to do with "white supremacy."

Team Clinton also has blamed Russia hacking the election as the reason Donald Trump pulled off the upset.

Last week, Hillary Clinton told the Women in the World Summit it was a contempt for women that was the difference.

"Certainly misogyny played a role," she said. "I mean, that has to be admitted."

Clinton went on to claim that her unfavorable ratings in public opinion polls were the result of her success.

An "inverse relationship" exists with likability and success," she maintained, but only with women. The more successful men are, she said, the more they are liked.

The Clintons and their cronies have missed assigning the blame where it belongs, though — with the candidate herself.

Not measuring up or paying up

Hypocrisy over women's pay previously was found on the staffs of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Now it's Sen. Elizabeth Warren's turn.

According to a Washington Free Beacon analysis, women working full time for the Massachusetts Democratic senator were paid 71 cents for every dollar paid to men during the 2016 fiscal year. The median annual earnings for women staffers were $52,750 on her staff, while the same figure for men was $73,750.

Warren is often a complainer about the lack of equal pay for women.

"The one thing that always gets me," she said in 2015, "I still have to get out and say that we believe in equal pay for equal work. It always gets a nice round of applause but you really want to say, holy guacamole, we can't get this thing done?"

When using average salaries, the pay gap in her office expands further to $26,051, or around 31 percent.

Among 12-month employees in Warren's office, only her director of scheduling, among women, made six figures at $100,624.88. But five men in her office, her director of oversight and investigations, legislative director, deputy chief of staff, Massachusetts state director and deputy state director all made more than than one woman.

The senator's office says the figures would be different if the analysis included women who worked only part of the year and says it has always paid women as much as men with the same job titles. But both those excuses are the problem in a nutshell. How much one works and what one's job is will always affect compensation. When the jobs are the same and the time employed is the same, the compensation is more likely to be the same.

Liberal bias?

Nearly two-thirds of respondents to a recent Gallup poll believe the news media favors one political party. And nearly two-thirds of respondents believe that party is the Democratic Party.

The last time the polling organization asked the question, in 2003 when a Republican was president, Americans were about evenly split on the question of bias. When the organization first asked the question in 1995, when a Democrat was president, they were about evenly divided as well.

Now, even 43 percent of Democrats are willing to admit the media favors the Democratic Party.

The results also showed 27 percent of people, asked if the media does favor a party, said it does not; 22 percent who believe it favors a party said it favored the Republican Party; and that Republicans more than Democrats believe the media does favor a party.

Over the 22 years Gallup has asked the question, the organization reported, Americans who have said if the media does favor a party, it is the Democratic Party.

Nay on Nye

An event called the March for Science is scheduled for Washington, D.C., on April 22, but science seems to be least of interests to its organizers.

One recent brouhaha, according to Heat Street, arose over whether the march should focus on "diversity and inclusion." Organizers said "intersectionality" and "diversity" must be part of the march because science seeks to "improve communities" by advocating for the marginalized and oppressed.

Then came the argument over whether the march should be led by Bill Nye, the Science Guy, the former children's television host and self-proclaimed leader of the "pro-science movement."

Well, organizers got themselves in a dither over Nye's skin color. He's white and thus might make people believe all scientists are old, white men.

"I love Bill Nye," said Stephani Page, a member of the march's board. "But he is a white male, and in that way he does represent the status quo of science, and what it is to be a scientist."

In truth, he's not even a scientist but an engineer. But he took it all in stride.

"I was born a dorky white guy who became an engineer," he said. "I'm playing the hand I was dealt. We can't — this march can't solve every problem all at once."
