Maybe She's Right, Uh Left?

First Lady Laura Bush raised Republican ire by saying many of Harriet Miers critics may be sexist in their opinions. According to this article, the sexism is coming from an unusual source, the liberal left:

Curiously, the nastiest gender-based swipe at Miers so far has come from a liberal feminist, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. Dowd calls the women on the Bush team ''self-sacrificing, buttoned-up nannies serving as adoring work wives, catering to W's every political, legal, and ego-affirming need." So Bush's male friends are just cronies, but his female friends are described in blatantly sexist terms. Just imagine the reaction if a conservative male journalist wrote something like that about the women in a Democratic administration.

Again kudos to OpinionJournal.
