Iron Our Shirts, Katie

File under Jokes I Get But Which Grate My Sense of Humor Anyway:

Gawker's post on Katie Couric's commentary regarding sexism towards Hillary Clinton:

Fun game: take this Katie Couric comment on sexism toward Hillary Clinton and replace the Senator's name with the anchor's. Ha ha iron our shirts, Katie! Stop hosting the "news" and get back to humoring the wacky weather guy in the morning! Also it's all tremendously sad.


The post's author, Pareene, agreed with (but gently teased me) when I wrote my blog on Huffington Post about how New York magazine left the ladies off their NYC culture retrospective cover and I think his head's in the right place. I just get twitchy when (regardless of one's personal feelings about Couric or Clinton) an -ism becomes a punchline.
