Ted Kennedy didn't have anything to do with the unfortunate 'fatal attraction' comments. That was Steve Cohen of Tennessee as sited in the article and as noted by Joan he later apologized.
Kennedy said Clinton was not - or more accurately that we need someone "in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations". Which is neither inappropriate (maybe indelicate) or untrue and not sexist.
I think you're misunderstanding is probably an artifact of Joan's cheap job of trying imply guilt by association. And likening on statement to another- when in fact you have to really contort to try and mash those things up.
When you say the sexism is rampant- do you mean in the campaign or in these forums?
