Sexism Used to Slant

“Left and Right: Enron, Monica and Blue-Light Specials” (Opinion, March 3) demeans Ann Coulter, a conservative political journalist with a sexist reference to her as a “blond Republican babe.” With that description, who can take her seriously?

None of the many male political journalists quoted has been given any such description, sexist or otherwise, nor has any mention been made of their political affiliations except for, of course, conservative David Horowitz, who is described as a “leftie turned rightie.” Shouldn’t we have been told that the quoted Noam Chomsky is a left-wing extremist?
