Parsing words. Good lord. Remember the Bush/Ferraro VP debate? |

Immediately after the debate as the candidates went backstage, GHW Bush commented, "We kicked ass tonight!"
Immediately, the Democrats picked up on this and decided it was a sexist comment, suggesting that "ass" was a reference similar in nature to "a piece of ass". As much as I hated Bush, I had to laugh. "Kicking ass" has been in the sports vernacular for decades in which neither party -- the kicker or the kickee -- was female.
Let's settle down and get back to the issues. Like who's the better bowler.

This sexism thing is getting out of hand with the "sweetie" comment, allegedly said to who knows who, in the context of what.
These straws being grasped by the Hillary supporters speak VOLUMES of their lack of substance and lack of gracefulness of the campaign.
