Hootie Watch

Who's winning the battle, Hootie Johnson or Martha Burk? SI's Hootometer tells all.

In The New Yorker, Burk makes sexist, and downright odd, charge that "when men get together, denigrating women is often a part of the social interaction." Advantage, Hootie. The Suburban Women's Club of Augusta calls on women across the U.S. to withhold support of Burk's National Council of Women's Organizations. Advantage, Hootie. Hootie gets an unwanted ally: the Ku Klux Klan, which announces plans to demonstrate in favor of his men-only policy. Huge advantage, Burk.
