I don't recall this being one of those things you can publicly say about a woman. Hardly complimentary.
Check out Ed Rendell at the podium on the left.
Gov. Rendell, a serial offender of the verbal blunder, today downplayed controversial remarks he made about how Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano would be perfect as the next Homeland Security chief because she has "no family" and "no life."
Now, witness the politician-at-work…
Almost instantly, Rendell's remarks made national news and sparked debate about whether they would ever had been made about a man - whether married or single.
CNN Commentator Campbell Brown said she believed Rendell's comments smacked of sexism and "perpetuate stereotypes that put (women) in boxes."
I'm sure Sarah Palin works long hours. Would Campbell Brown come to her defense?
Asked to explain the comments today, Rendell said: "What I meant is that Janet is a person who works 24-7, just like I do. She has no life, neither do I."
Self deprecating humor is a good way out.
But it again has me stumped that the Party of tolerance, inclusion, and political correctness still has graduates of the Larry Summers School of Sensitivity issuing the faux pas with selective outrage.
That's even more of a double standard than the initial sexism charge.
