McCain jumped in and did the manly-man thing, saving his damsel in distress from having to answer a real question from a real reporter like all the other candidates in this race do on a regular basis. I’m sorry, strike that. McCain hasn’t had a press conference in over a month, so he’s not answering any questions either (which kind of makes you wonder what’s wrong with the 72 year old candidate who has 4 bouts of serious melanoma). CNN’s Campbell Brown said last night that McCain’s behavior, in treating Palin like some weak defenseless thing just because she’s a woman, is sexist.
