The flap is particularly notable because Ernst's allies have been sensitive to sexist attacks.

So when her husband called Napolitano a "traitorous skank" the gaffe was not in the "traitorous" part but in the "skank" part.

I am just trying to keep current on today's PC regs.

You have to have sex to be skanky I think.

Looking at Napolitano..... I have my doubts....

Didn’t read the article, but I’m thinking it was because he bit his tongue and only called her this. Should have been much much worse...

Give me a break. You argument doesn't hold water. This has nothing to do with PC regs. This has to do with traditional manners. Did you see Reagan talk like this? Why do you think that was? You are trying to repackage 60's counterculture values as conservatism. Stop. Either be a conservative with traditional values, or keep your 60's counterculture values and stop pretending to be traditional.

Would a gentleman talk this way? No, a gentleman wouldn’t. Did you see Ronald Reagan do this kind of thing no? If you give in to the left on this kind of behavior, don’t think you are ever going to beat them on the big issues. You’ve already conceded the game to them.

I also need a list.

This is the new Democratic strategy, Both MS, now this, they can’t win going against a good candidate so they find someone they’re connected to and make the campaign about that. Then instead of saying, they can’t fight me so they look into every word said by associates, they defend or condemn. Makes they look guilty.

Republicans better wake up, Dems keep moving the ball..
