What's needed is a strong male press secretary. People don't seem to notice that one thing the press worms love is a strong woman they can spit their bile at--it makes these "liberals" feel macho to trash a Republican woman, in a weird way: "See? I've got cojones, even if I am a feminist, I can still trash women, they don't scare me!" (In fact, liberal men I've encountered are really, really afraid of strong women, while we conservative men love 'em.) A Rumsfeld type male who has a history of accomplishment and/OR someone who isn't afraid to combat the press without looking like he's starting a fight but is defending a wronged President is just what's needed. In fact, the outgoing guy did precisely one right thing when he got David Gregory to reveal what a jackass he is when he threw a snit. We need to have these reporters revealed for what they are so they're afraid to get into it that way.
I think libs define "strong woman" differently than we do. To them, a strong woman is one who wears Birkenstocks but no bra, that regularly goes to protests, and who "isn't afraid to speak truth to power", which really just means criticizing conservatives in harsh terms.
To us, a strong woman means someone who is stable, capable of loving relationships, who understands the importance of women in society as mothers, spouses, and caregivers, and who doesn't give a damn what liberal "feminists" think.
