    @Patrick Morgan

    You're missing the point. After carrying the torch for Hillary and crying sexism at every criticism leveled at her to allow this article to run just smacks of hypocrisy. Do you think the author could have made the point that the GOP was being hypocritical about community organizers (the only valid point in the article) without the ridiculous sexual overtones?

    What purpose does this serve other than to give more red meat to the Right Wing Social Conservative Nuts, which, considering that Joan is no idiot, might have been her intent all along. Perhaps she just hasn't got over Hillary's loss in the primaries after all.
