McCain is a bright girl. A republican for sure, but still maybe someone who can keep the GOP from becoming the party of Ingraham and Limbaugh. But I will say to Ingraham: Some girls just shouldn’t wear tight pants, and Ingraham should not throw stones.
It’s really heartening to see that the inherent viciousness of the right wing is getting some exposure. And that they’re turning it on their own now.
Asker's Rating:
• I really liked your answer, dattappan, because it points up that there really are a new generation of sensible Republican women. I think that's a great reason for hope (even though I'm on the other side), and, as you say, it is heartening that bad behavior on the part of the nasty wing of the GOP is being brought to light. Thanks!

Interesting the focus that is being taken off of what is going on in the Democratic White House...

That said, I think the fat jokes are more 'out of line' than the 'too extreme' comments. MM is a moderate Republican, probably might not even be one if her Dad wasn't...and she's certainly not the first to call Ann C too extreme...

Ingraham is in the wrong. Nobody should be afraid to criticize people for their views. In fact, she should be commended for actually seeing the proverbial naked emperor.
Calling people fat, however, is another thing entirely.
