Isn’t it pathetic watching the Republican party making sexism charges? We heard it last year when George W. Bush picked his personal lawyer for the Supreme Court. When anyone questioned the selection of an unqualified woman, the Bush team pulled the sexism card. Now we’re hearing the same thing regarding the legitimate questions surrounding Sarah Palin, a political unknown.

Maureen Dowd chimes in:

Hillary cried sexism to cover up her incompetent management of her campaign, and now Republicans have picked up that trick. But when you use sexism as an across-the-board shield for any legitimate question, you only hurt women. And that’s just another splash of reality.
