McCain aide plays sexism card

Responding to the Obama campaign's attempt — via public e-mail — to get its campaign counsel, Bob Bauer, onto a McCain campaign conference call, McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker plays the gender card as openly as Hillary Clinton ever did:

"This type of boys club bullying embodies an arrogance better suited for a frat house than a serious campaign about serious issues," she tells my colleague Jonathan Martin.

In fact, the chains of command at both campaigns — with Clinton out of the race — are very male, possibly even including members of fraternities.

:eyes:

The problem with playing a card is that if it is played too often, it becomes useless and a joke.
