Pop Quiz!

Who wrote the following:

Hillary's feckless, loutish brothers (who are kept at arm's length by her operation) took the brunt of [father] Hugh Rodham's abuse in their genteel but claustrophobic home. Hillary is the barracuda who fought for dominance at their expense. Flashes of that ruthless old family drama have come out repeatedly in this campaign, as when Hillary could barely conceal her sneers at her fellow debaters onstage -- the wimpy, cringing brothers at the dinner table.

Hillary's willingness to tolerate Bill's compulsive philandering is a function of her general contempt for men. She distrusts them and feels morally superior to them. Following the pattern of her long-suffering mother, she thinks it is her mission to endure every insult and personal degradation for a higher cause -- which, unlike her self-sacrificing mother, she identifies with her near-messianic personal ambition.


Choose the best answer:

(a) Yellow-haired Nantucket-dwelling proto-pundit and inveterate Hillary hater Chris Matthews.
(b) Hatchet-faced third-rate university tenured professor and inveterate Hillary hater Camille Paglia.
(c) Probable anorexia nervosa and borderline personality disorder sufferer and inveterate Hillary hater Ann Coulter.
(d) Demented class-tormented and Obama-obsessed manchild and inveterate Hillary hater Andrew Sullivan.
(e) No obvious answer. It's so over the top, it's got to be parody.
