This is a good thread (although you goofed by calling her "It&quot .

Remember when right wingers used to attack Janet Reno for having masculine traits? That was awful too.

Here's another thing... I don't like it when people criticize Chris Christie's weight, either. (I also hate it when the right wing goes after Michael Moore's weight. Lets not stoop to their level.) Democrats are the big-tent party, and we shouldn't alienate people who share our values, by using careless insults.

Lets just go after the important stuff... the conservatives' wrong-headed ideas on the issues.
