> Can you give us a few examples of these cheap sexist shots? Yikes! Rick just fell of the turnip truck. Either he wasn't paying attention or he would know a sexist attack on a woman if it bit him in the ass. In Message #219508 I referenced this: Melissa McEwan at Shakesville's blogspot documented 89 instances of blatant sexist attacks on Hillary during the primary. I'm glad someone was keeping count, if only to serve as a reminder of the perils awaiting any woman brave enough to attempt a presidential run. If we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. http://tinyurl.com/p4q7tt http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2008/05/hillary-sexism-watch-part-eighty.\ html
