My husband has a friend who once casually told a woman he was dating, “You’d have the perfect body if your breasts were bigger. Have you ever thought of getting a boob job?” And, for some reason she got all mad. What’s wrong with women anyway? Can’t she take a compliment? Sheeesh.
Likewise, last month, we had McCain correcting a supporter: “No, (Senator Obama) is not an Arab, ma’m. He’s a decent family man.”
This week, Kay Fagan responds to Elizabeth Dole’s accusation that Fagan pals around with ”godless Americans”: “I think Elizabeth Dole has just gone to the lowest of the lows.” How dare you malign my character by accusing me of meeting with (gasp!) atheists.
Uh, John and Kay? There are other people – people with microphones – in the room when you talk. Have you ever considered thinking before you speak?
