It’s Sexism I Tell Ya!

June 15th, 2007 by Senior Editor: Jeff

The CBS chief executive is surprised at the apparently rampant sexism in America. This is, of course, the only reason people are not watching Katie Couric. It has nothing to do with the fact that they took someone more known for cooking segments, and her bubbly personality, and put her in a role where she must remain stoic and overwhelmed with the gravity of this evening’s news. (Has anyone out there watched her? It is quite uncomfortable to behold, as it seems unnatural to see her behind that desk: one expects her to get up and go sit down on a couch and start talking about what Bobby Flay is out grillin’ on the barbie, and by the way, how’s the weather look in your neck of the woods?)

This theme is also turning into the latest sandbagging for the Democrats too. In other words, if Hillary isn’t elected, it’s because of sexism. And if Obama isn’t elected, it’s because of racism. No matter what, they’re golden: big story either way.

Except, they forget that the Democrats must first nominate one of them as their party’s candidate…

Your editor is waiting with bated breath to see which force is more pervasive in the Democrat party: sexism or racism?
