McCain adviser: Sometimes it’s ‘accurate’ to describe a woman as a ‘bitch.’


The dumbing down of journalism...


During yesterday’s Democratic primary coverage, CNN senior analyst Jeff Toobin criticized a New York Times column that published a joke about Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) being a “white bitch.” “I think it’s appalling, but I think she’s absolutely right that there has been a level of sexism,” said Toobin. But CNN contributor Alex Castellanos, who is also an adviser to Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign, disagreed, saying that some women deserve to be called a “bitch”:

If I can disagree, I think you’re dead wrong. She’s dead wrong. And I think she thinks her problem is she’s a woman. Her problem is she’s Hillary Clinton. And some women, by the way, are named that and it’s accurate.

Well, well all things being equal there are plenty of men who could fall under the same definition. Alex C would be one of them.

But don't call my dog that, she'll rip your throat out...hehe

Yes, its proof they have no respect for women. McShame proved that with his "c word" episode and it wasn't "Cindy, my sweet".

What I don't get is that she's still with the old fart.
