Senator's small-mindedness

The suggestion that Condoleezza Rice is incapable of understanding the anguish caused by American losses in Iraq because she has never had children has triggered a feminist firestorm.

Having to put up with this sort of waspishness at least means Condoleezza Rice and our PM have something in common.

I wonder what box Senator Barbara Boxer would put Helen Clark in?

A little surprised with the 'feminist firestorm,' after all I'm sure this is in keeping with the new age PC they so vehemently spear-headed .. women for women services & generalised to maori for maori .. because you need to 'be,' to have 'experienced,' before you can fully understand or empathise or advise.
Why, I believe our family court even asks 'experts' if they have children & how many because it adds 'weight' to their counsel. So an entirely 'proper' comment.
