Although there has been no shortage of commentary on former Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile’s bombshell new book, Hacks, I want to zero in on one aspect of Brazile’s revelations that has been overlooked: Brazile inadvertently lifts the lid and shows what her party really thinks about women.

Embedded in the book is a paternalistic (or perhaps in this case we should say maternalistic) attitude towards women. Brazile writes that after Hillary Clinton collapsed at an event marking the anniversary of Sept. 11, she considered, as apparently can be done by the DNC, replacing Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine on the Democratic ticket with Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.
