woMAN's role cont...

Today on CNN, Alex Castellanos (sp?) made a comment about McCain and his wife. He said that McCain was considered a hero of some sort because he was a "beer drinking war hero with a hot chick on his arm." Sexism clearly not gone. I think Cindy McCain is more than a "hot chick." What does that comment say about a womyn's role and a womyn's worth? And, what does that say about what people think of Michelle Obama? Not that I think she should be judged based on her beauty but how is this incredible womyn not something to respected and admired.
