Yeah - right. The man can’t use normal words that are the best choice to fit the meaning of his sentences without folks jumping all over them and calling him sexist. What a crock.

This post is about Obama’s (and others) failure to ride to the defense of Hillary. It is quite reasonable to question why he should do this when she has not ridden to his defense over similarly offensive stuff and in fact has in some instances piled on herself. The premise that Hillary needs defending is itself sexist unless it is accompanied by an equal call for HER to come to his defense as well. Or do we only think women need to be defended by men?

I’m also getting tired of defenses of sexism that basically amount to “well, yeah, but Hillary [or some surrogate] said something worse.” I thought all of us learned in kindergarten that two wrongs don’t make a right.

And of course potty mouth Randi Rhodes, who got her ass fired behind her comments.

I don’t know why we’d expect Howard Dean to jump into that cesspool - I don’t recall him weighing in on racism issues either, for that matter, though maybe I just missed it.
