The point is that nobody (yet) needs to go to rehab for using the word "girlie-man". However if you accuse someone of being a "Bassoon player", you may have to be sent to sensitivity training and re-education camps.

"Girlie-man" or Breck girl" would have been perfect in place of the word Ann used. Can you imagine how foolish john edwards would look calling for "Coulter Cash' because Ann called him a "Girlie-Man" or "Breck girl"??? LOL!!!
That would have been pretty funny. As it is, I'm surprised we haven't heard Edwards cried when he heard the comment.
No, no, no. This would not have worked at all. Don't you people get the 'you have to go into rehab' if you use the "f-word" reference? Her words were as much a comment on the PC Word-Police as it was on Edwards' feminine side.
