gotta say though, he's not wrong.   CSB:

Last week I was riding an elevator down out of a government office in DC when it opened on a middle floor to a very pretty woman talking to a fairly high official at the agency I was visiting.  Since I try not to be a dick , I held the door open for her while she finsihed her conversation.  Five minutes later she's still "just one more thing"-ing and I'm trying hard not to let my annoyance show.  Finally, she steps aboard and  gives me a quick "sorry", I shrug and say something inane about how it's important stuff we do, and all and a few minutes extra ain't gonna ruin anyone's day.  She then asks me my name, I give her my first name only thinking this is causal elevator conversation.  She introduces herself with her first and last name, which mean nothing to me, so I say only "nice to meet you" and do about my day.   Since her name was Kamala Harris, and I'm a lawyer who does consumer protection work, that is what we call in the Bidness " a huge whiff" on my part.   Oh Well.

Yeah, but how is her beef stroganoff?

Factually incorrect. Florida AG is hotter.

Yes he is. I present to Fark: Pam Bondi, AG of Fark's favorite state:

He said that the same day that Michelle referred to herself as a single mother. So who knows what is going on?

Pfft.  Like like Barack HUSSEIN Obama II would pull out of a hot white chick.

Motion to suppress....my boner.

Boy, is Martha Coakley pissed now.

The comments on this story in the local paper are a thing to behold.

Probably shouldn't have said that.

1) she is hot
2) Ms. O is already calling herself a single mom
3) me thinks the President is going to need his Secret Service protection

Bamz has pretty good taste. But he should know that it is generally safer to only praise the looks of married ladies.

Yeah, that isn't fair, but it seems to be true.

I love how Jezebel immediately jumped all over him for the last part, ignoring the part where he praised her professional and intellectual credentials first.

And they wonder why so few people take them seriously over there.

I love how Yahoo digs up a one-off that happened back in 2008, too.

"To establish Obama's history of repugnant sexism, here's a soundbyte from 2008.  What a womanizer."

aaronx: Bamz has pretty good taste.

Rashida Jones is going to play her in the movie version.

Aides are preparing the pull-out couch in the Oval Office for his return

I thought someone who already had two kids would be more careful than that.

Twice in five years??  That lecher!!

He might as well be shoving an ultrasound wand up their vajayjays!!

True, but at the same time it's fairly clear that a male AG's looks would never be mentioned as part of why he is praiseworthy. Can't we just impose a simple rule for politicians "don't talk about about a lady's looks unless someone else brought it up first?" It just avoids the whole issue from the get go.

Not true at all.  It's not unheard of to make a comment on a guy's looks as the "light-hearted afterthought" part of an introduction.

I will not accept a world where it's verboten to not mention that someone is dapper, or attractive, or handsome.

Obama's method of doing it, complementing and noting a person's professional or intellectual prowess before superficial things is exactly how it should be done.

Overruled. But that's me, I usually prefer brunettes.

I concur.  But having just googled Bondi, I have to say "Holy Fark!  She's 47!?!?!?"

That's a well-preserved specimen.

Wooly Bully: Apparently they really are friends, and that fact make it seem completely inoffensive.

Yea, it's hard for me to get too riled up about this particular instance. Especially since it was at a fundraiser, more of an intimate/informal gathering than say a press conference.

It's not like that NYT obituary where they mentioned a woman's cooking, parenting, and spousal skills before saying, oh yea, she was an actual rocket scientist, too, that worked on propulsion systems for communications satellites.

Vodka Zombie: Who...  the FARK...  CARES?!?!?

A lot of people who aren't you? Try not to be so myopic about it.
