Reasoned Audacity: America's "Iconic" Woman: Oprah Winfrey??!!

Charmaine Yoest has some problems with what was said by the creator of the show "Commander-in-Chief" in a recent press conference, as reported in the Washington Post. Specifically, Rod Lurie says its a shame that there aren't any iconic women in history. The closest he could come to an iconic woman, he said, was Oprah Winfrey.

Perhaps the man needs to get out more and meet people outside his cozy circle, and maybe read a few books that, like, you know, talk about history or something. Or religion, perhaps. All in all, my response to this is "sheesh, how silly."

Charmaine, however, is taking this on head-on. She's asking for nominations for a photo gallery she's putting together of iconic women that this patronizing television bigwig doesn't know about. Yet.
