Other salvos in the ‘war on women’

If Joyce Marcel wants to end the war on women [“Kunin calls for a truce in the war on women,” Column, April 25], she should tell other people to stop.

Bill Maher called Sarah Palin the “C U Next Tuesday” word. David Letterman “joked” about knocking up Palin's then 14-year-old daughter. Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut.”

Andrew Sullivan questioned the parentage of Palin's baby. James Opico, a popular liberal blogger, called Arizona Governor Jan Brewer an “ugly, quivering witch.”

Democrats have been digging into South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's sex life. Keith Olbermann called conservative pundit Michelle Malkin a “mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it” and and Ann Coulter as “this guy [who] wants to live his life as a woman.”

An adviser to Jerry Brown called Meg Whitman a “whore.” And going back some, George Carlin called Barbara Bush “a sliver douchebag.”

Joyce Marcel should not worry so much about Mitt Romney.
