Talk of the Nation today.
They did'nt mention David Shuster's gaffe,but discussed how Hillary has been hounded by sexist attacks, for example they mentioned the Hillary "Nutcracker" that can be picked in gift shops around the Country.As shown on Jay Leno. They got a big laugh over that.

If the same "Nutcracker" doll had been used demeaning someones skin color there would be riots in the street.

1. the Hillary "Nutcracker".........
.........has been around for over a year.

Where was the outrage before now?

Thats a pretty lame excuse to try to bring Hillary sympathy over some percieved sexism.

2. I prefer the GWB Toilet bowl brush myself...
and the Larry Craig action doll...

Action figures are popular this year, as well. Sen. Larry Craig's plastic likeness is wearing camouflage cargo pants and a micro-T with the slogan "I'm not gay," emblazoned across his pecs in bright orange. If you push a button in back, he recites his infamous press conference in which he denied the Minneapolis toilet shenanigans.

3. Can you imagine the furor,
the quite justifiable furor, if someone marketed an Obama lawn jockey?

It's still acceptable to put down women openly.
