Dinging women for attempting to turn back the clock with Botox is hot. Here in Hollywood for Ugly People, Nancy Pelosi's forehead continues to get more attention than her plans to clean the House. Maureen Dowd writes in the New York Times that that kidder Ted Olson wowed 'em at the Federalist Society by joking that members of Congress could entertain themselves by "searching for any sign of movement in Speaker Pelosi's forehead." Dowd's own brow was batted around on Imus last week. Yet this didn't stop her from joining in the same kind of old-fashioned sexist fun by characterizing Pelosi as "throwing like a girl'' in her first week on the job. Does our culture really hate women as much as all that?

Don't let the pundits' calls for nebulous "bipartisanship" fool you. Don't let the pledges of "civility" from politicians divert your attention.
