No opinions on Arlen's telling Bachmann to "act like a lady"? |

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.
