Back in late January Nicole wrote a post about Hillary Clinton officially announcing her intention to make a bid for 2008 US Presidency. Nicole wisely asked us to watch for how Clinton would be depicted along the road to the race…
Well, in terms of “depictions” I really didn’t forsee this one:
I’m trying to think of something to say here, but I’m at a loss. Please help me out. Seems like it’s “I’m just trying to be funny” week at misogyny central. First “funny” t-shirts and now sexism with your bucket o’chicken.

How awful. This makes me think it will be a long time before the U.S. gets their female president.

Wow. Out of curiosity, where is this? It looks strangely like Vermont, though I guess all KFCs are pretty much the same.

What I read is that the "legend" describes an employee putting it up on the board long enough to take a pic. Unconfirmed, like a mentioned - but still sad that it is circulating regardless.
