Can you imagine their reaction if someone said that about Obama? Hypocritical sexist bastards.
You're losing your touch, Seattle. It simply *was* a credible reading of the speech. That's not sexist. After all, they panned Obama's delivery as rehearsed and even soulless.

What's sexist was that they referred to her as a candidate of "sparkling wit and grace." That's the kind of stuff you would never - ever - hear associated with a male candidate.
