Arlen Specter is wrong. So he scolds Michele Bachmann and tells her to act like a lady. If he’s so concerned about manners, perhaps he should talk to his comrades colleagues who refer to American citizens as “teabaggers.”
Politico: Bachmann first laid out her agenda — cutting taxes and killing President Obama’s health reform bill — at considerable length.
When Specter tried to counter, Bachmann, darling of the Tea Party movement, kept on talking, which didn’t sit well with the one-time Philadelphia DA, who is a stickler for politeness and protocol.
“I’m going to treat you like a lady,” Mr. Specter shot back. “Now act like one.”
Ms. Bachmann replied, “I am a lady.”
Things went on along this line for a while — with Specter later asking Bachmann to “act like a lady,” according to the PPG’s Daniel Malloy.
Bachmann is hardly a beloved figure in Democratic circles. But how many liberal women, whom Specter badly needs to defeat front-running Pat Toomey, would appreciate being told to “act like a lady” by a male debate partner?
I wonder how many of those liberal women will denounce Arlen Specter now that he’s an official lib.
