Who said you called anybody anything?

As you highlighted, I wrote "Coulter called Miers nothing more than a legal secretary and a cleaning lady". I kept to the facts and did not address you in any type of personal attack.

You wrote something to the affect that the White House had no reason to claim sexism and elitism. I also said I was in the minority of posters that do believe comments like these are sexist. I guess you need to be a woman who has worked in the corporate world to understand why I feel that way. As for comments being elitist, I guess that too is in the eyes of the reader. I have read numerous blogs and numerous posts on FR about Miers not attending the right school. I never wrote that you said that. That "secretary" comment of Coulters really gets under my skin. Back in the 80's I got my MBA (non Ivy League) and worked my way into bank management in NYC at Chase earning the title "Assistant Secretary". It was low level management but it was management. Twenty some years later and I still have to answer what my secretarial skills were at Chase. It is quite doubtful that any male with the title has ever had to explain.

Attacking me for no reason certainly doesn't bring the debate any more civil.

Red, I am sorry for the indignities you suffered. That isn't right. I have two daughters, and I don't want them to have to be pigeon holed that way either.

But this isn't about you. It is about the future of the Court, and our Nation.

Miers is the wrong choice.
