She could have easily framed the joke in a way that questioned his manhood or lack of masculine characteristics. Maybe that she felt embarassed talking about a man with better hair than her or who spent more time in front of a mirror. Then she could have rolled it up with a quip about that she really has house envy and resents being part of the other America that Edwards talks about that cannot affor mansions like he can. But given the democrats blatant hypocrisy on global warming with their energy wasting houses and use of gass guzzling SUVs and corporate jets to spread the works of Karl Marx she shouldn't have to say any more than that.
No she couldn't, that would not have encompassed his views on hate crimes laws or his views on re-eduacation camps. ie: rehab for non-PC words.
