I think it’s showing that elected women officials don’t handle large-scale crisis as well as men. Crimony! Quit whining and blaming others! Roll-up your sleeves, rally the people, and get to work!

Pelosi donning that scarf for our enemies, Blanco looking for anyone to blame for her lack of immediate response to multiple warnings and now this ding-bat... makes me doubt female leadership abilities.

Hmmph....I’m sure there are lots of men out there who can’t handle a crisis like this either. Mayor Noggin of NO for one — but I guess he gets a pass because he’s of a minority. No one wants to appear “racist.”

Besides, this isn’t so much about handling a crisis, but rather, more about having the honor and decency to not turn a tragedy (and the lives of those who perished) into a political statement.

You have to consider the role of Dean and Durbin in this affair (we DO know the DNC issued a scurrilous press release about it, so it's not just a question of an unconfirmed "deep throat" report). Also the bozo Obama talking about "10,000 dead"..... there are THREE male elected officials (well Dean was formerly the multi-term Gov. of VT, even if he is now just the DNC hack) who have shown grotesque incompetence and political opportunism of the rankest sort in this matter. I would not turn it into a female issue at all, it's a 'RAT issue of shameless propaganda and grotesque opportunism.
