And then there's this guy.... F1 boss likens women to appliances edition.cnn.com Ecclestone has made controversial remarks about women before. He told Autosport racing magazine in 2000 that women could not compete in Formula One, but if one did, "she would have to be a woman who was blowing away the boys. ... What I would really like to see happen is to find the right girl, perhaps a black girl with super looks, preferably Jewish or Muslim, who speaks Spanish."

Al, You keep missing the point. Considering the original point I was trying to make, your point was irrelevant to begin with. But never mind that. Tenchusatsu

How much you want to bet the GOPers don't apologize? BTW don't bet.......it would be like stealing candy from a baby. <g> ******************************************************* Clinton hits governor on White House aide's Sept. 11 comments** By DEVLIN BARRETT Associated Press Writer June 23, 2005, 4:03 PM EDT WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton demanded Thursday that Gov. George Pataki repudiate a top White House advisor's comments about liberals' reaction to Sept. 11 _ remarks delivered while Pataki sat nearby onstage. Clinton, D-N.Y., joined Senate Democrats who called on Karl Rove to apologize or resign for his comments Wednesday night in Manhattan to the New York state Conservative Party. The senator said Pataki was at the event, and should speak out against Rove's characterization. Rove, President Bush's chief political advisor, said liberals "saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." Conservatives, said Rove, "saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war." Pataki was seated at the dais while Rove spoke, and spoke after Rove. The governor's speech focused on plans for rebuilding ground zero and did not refer to Rove's comments. Clinton said Rove's remarks don't reflect the unity among New Yorkers and Americans of all political stripes after the terror attacks of 2001. "I would also call on Gov. Pataki to repudiate these comments. He was at that dinner last night," said Clinton. "I would call on anyone who was at that dinner who is a New Yorker who cares about the unity of not only New York City but of our country to say we may have disagreements about what the best way is to win the war against terror, but we have no disagreements about our unity and our resolve and the goals we seek." A spokesman for Gov. Pataki did not immediately comment on Clinton's criticism. Michael Long, chairman of the state Conservative Party, called Rove's speech "excellent," and said the criticism from Democrats only proved Rove correct. "I was sitting there and I watched nearly 700 people who couldn't agree more with his remarks," said Long, who counter-attacked Clinton on her position opposing an anti-flag-burning amendment. "If anyone should apologize to the people at that dinner last night it should be Sen. Clinton for her failure to support a flag amendment when people died for our freedom protecting the flag," said Long. Clinton also mentioned Rove's remarks earlier in the day with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld at a Senate Armed Services Committee. "I'm old enough to remember how deeply divided our country was in Vietnam. I never want to see that again," said Clinton. "We may have disagreements about how to engage in this conflict and how to win it, but I never want to live through that again and I don't think any of us do so I would respectfully suggest that perhaps we adopt a somewhat different tone." newsday.com
