The notion that one side is right and one side is wrong is generally, as one finds in life, not the case.

   hhhmmmm.... I think that is why there are more men managers than women.  Sometimes in life it is necessary to make a decision and stick with it.  If the decisions turn out poorly you take it like a man and face the consequences.

I'm male, 43, divorced 15 years, and for all of my female friends here at NB, Mrs. Roberts is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

Despite all the lies about "equality", Cokie's Freudian slip represents the core of feminist thought since the very beginning.  She's just another arrogant leftie who mistakes her ideology for the truth.

What a one-sided dipshit...and crazier than a shit-house rat to boot.......

Flame on, cokie......

All those years that Cokie was having an affair don't count I guess.  Hummmmm

Sounds more like former man Steve Roberts.

Her husband, former New York Times reporter Steve Roberts, might have noted that a woman was enabling Sanford to cheat on his wife. Or he could have matched Sanford with a female politician like Monica Conyers (wife of the House Judiciary Committee chairman), who just resigned from the Detroit City Council after pleading guilty to bribery charges.

Tim, if you had not mentioned this, I would have. Thanks for beating to the punch.

Ms Roberts should be made to apologize to all of us for such a ridiculous, callus, and insensitive not to mention stupid remark. She should be suspended from any political journalistic work for the next 4 years--in other words until after the 2012 presidential election year so that the good folks who make up the electorate will not accidentally hear her. However, I am not going to hold my breathe waiting for any of this to happen.

Cokie,Cokie, Cokie!  Your slip is showing.  Your elitist senitments are offensive indeed. 

With all of your moral sermonizing you give out I think that this kind of statement deflates your moral balloon.  You have no room to talk and you relienquish your supposed moral high ground.  

 I have one simple statement for you from all of the inferior race of beings, Shut up!

This shrubber never passes an opportunity to post this on a Cokie Roberts thread...

You don't think she was just being hyperbolic for effect? I don't think this is an actual policy position she was voicing.

But please, keep piling dirt on that molehill... 

I wonder how far Cokie Roberts' line of reasoning takes her.  She bundles a bunch of anecdotal examples as a way of supporting her claim that "men are just lesser beings".  

To be intellectually honest and consistent, would she make similarly harsh, broad-stroke claims about other demographic groups that have less-than-impressive stats?  Following her line of reasoning, she would have to conclude that "------- are also lesser beings."   Right?

She “went tearing into my husband’s office” and complained about Mark Sanford? What about Eliot Spitzer? What did she do when his news broke? With her political background and coming from a family of Democrats I suspect it’s ok as long as you pay for it. Remember Cokie Roberts is from Louisiana and the Hale and Lindy Boggs gang, generally considered the next political dynasty after the Huey Long mob. Given the scope of the Kingfish’s aggressive ethics and wealth redistribution methods it’s not a stretch to assume some of those divine gifts rubbed off on the Bogg’s clan. Also, you might have noticed, Ms. Roberts is getting a little long in the tooth; she’s turning 66 this year.    

Come on now. I think we all know that Cokie is right. just look at the history of civilizations founded and governed by women. We'd all be starving to death in the dark were it not for the technology in food and energy production developed by the girls (oops, my bad), I meant womyns.

I love my wife, and I've told her more than once how much I appreciate the things she does for me that I can't do. In turn, she knows that I am so much better at starting the snowblower at 5 AM. Lesser being? I don't think so. 

I'm sorry for her husband. I guess the cat has his tongue.

Long ago, I submitted to the massively superior intellects of Joan Walsh, Katrina venden Heuvel and the Coker.

ps: Coker, the porcupine look went out in the 80s after Annie Lenox went underground. And guys were never really that into it in the first place. Black bras are still good though, just not you, K?
