Nah, just kidding.
They are outraged. Nay! OUTRAGED! That Scott Brown responded in a joking way to a shot Elizabeth Warren took at him.
But then he got really sexist.
No, I tell a lie. That's all he said.
At the link the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Democratic Party goes after Brown.
You see it's perfectly fine for Elizabeth Warren to take a shot at Scott Brown for how he used his looks in college, but he can't take a joking shot back at her.
It's always tough for a man to run against a woman simply because even after all the years of hearing "we're all equal", we're not.
If Warren were a guy who looked like Ted Kennedy and Brown said the same thing no one would care.
In fact, weren't we just treated to a week or so of "Christie is fat" jokes from liberals?
Yeah, we were.
In fact, Christie was asked about that repeatedly at his "No means no" presser. He dealt with it head on and didn't whine he was being picked on.
If male and female candidates are too be treated equally, then they need to be treated equally.
Are there jokes and jabs that cross the line? Of course but again, it needs to go both ways and be enforced equally against both parties. I'm really not interested in a set of rules where vile attacks against GOP women are acceptable and the mildest of jokes against a liberal woman is cause for banishment from polite society.
Was Brown's crack ungentlemanly? Of course it was.
Was Warren's unladylike? At least as much so and probably a bit more since, as any 4th grader would note, she started it!

During the Massachusetts Senate debate earlier this week, Elizabeth Warren and the other Dem candidates were reminded by the debate moderator that Scott Brown had posed nude in college, and asked what they had done to pay for school. ”I kept my clothes on,” Warren joked, to laughter from the crowd.
Today, Scott Brown was asked by a local Massachusetts radio show to comment on Warren’s joke, and he offered his own joke in response: “Thank God.”
But then he got really sexist.
No, I tell a lie. That's all he said.

Scott Brown’s comments send a terrible message that even accomplished women who are held in the highest esteem can be laughingly dismissed based on their looks
