Bush Takes Feminism Down Another Peg

If you didn't see the President's whole press conference on Lebanon yesterday, you missed him unconsciously (as usual) deal feminism another blow.

Throughout the press conference Bush repeatedly referred to his Secretary of State as "Condi" to answer a question about the proposed U.N. ceasefire resolution whenever he couldn't answer a question. You can imagine how many times he did it since it appeared he hadn't read it.

Many people will think, 'Well, they're close friends, so what?' True, but have you ever heard him address any of his other male cabinet members in public as "Dick", "Don", or "Al"? They are all referred to by their title and last name. And he's good friends with Dick, Don, and Al too.

Small point, but so revealing.
