Looks as if former Bush administration nominee Margaret Hoover may have a new calling: sex advice.

Hoover was once an intergovernmental-affairs aide to Karl Rove, and she recently joined —and departed — Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign. She discussed feminism on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” on Monday night, alongside political commentator Kirsten Powers.

Hoover: Feminism is about women stepping up and not being afraid to ask for what they want.


Bill O’Reilly
: And what they want is dinner, right?

Hoover: If that translates into the bedroom, well, then you’re going to have to take away with that what you want.

Rowrr …

When asked to react to Hoover, Powers said, “She’s giving out way more information than I would give out.”

Former President Herbert Hoover, Margaret’s great-grandfather, could not be reached for comment on Ms. Hoover’s free-spirited views.
