Arlen Specter's smackdown with Michelle Bachmann was either sexist or spot on, depending on how much of the tape you hear
By Laura Vecsey

The article includes a longer version of the radio clip of the exchange.

1. see JPZenger's post below.... as he mentions it...
This is trumped up attention for batshit crazy Bachmann. Let's ask lilly leadbetter, who's sexist
and take a look at S. 181 and HR. 11, which the right wing wouldnt want us to do.
Specter voted FOR women to receive the dignity they deserve.. equal pay... where as Bachmann voted
against women receiving equal pay. She is shameful for promoting continued sexism by voting against
lilly leadbetter, HR. 11. I was talking to someone from MN about this... they hate her and
say she pulls obnoxious stunts like this all the time.

Pretty much a non story as he meant it in the context of "ladies and gentlemen"... if you arent
a gentleman you dont have manners and if you arent a lady you dont either. It comes down to mannerism
not sexism femmocrat in my book. JP is correct is noting the shorter version is used to make
it seem much more than it was.
