Drapes
I don't think Bush necessarily meant to be sexist with the drapes comment. In the last week or so out campaigning in the places that would still have him, he frequently referred to the Dems as prematurely celebrating in the endzone and measuring for drapes for their new offices. Keith Olbermann put together a bunch of clips of Bush saying it over and over (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiXTDepZarI&mode=related&search=). So really, today's reference was more of a self-deprecating joke on Bush, since it turns out they will be measuring for new drapes. Watch the Olbermann clip -- it's funny.
