Enough of this nonsense. There are sexist comments and there are compliments. The difference should be obvious to all but the hardcore political-correctness crowd.
Exhibit A: What President Barack Obama said the other day about Attorney General Kamala Harris of California. The context: It was a fundraiser, a feel-good, political love-in among followers and supporters; the president and Harris are friends; the president called Harris “brilliant,” “dedicated,” and “tough” before adding that “she also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general in the country.”
And one more thing: By all objective, non-sexist accounts, the president’s comment was as factual as it was complimentary. Sorry, Pam.
