The head of the state Legislative Women’s Caucus called Tuesday for a state assemblyman to apologize for remarks that referred to the physical appearance and personality of the chief justice of the California Supreme Court.The letter is here.
Sen. Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) sought the apology from Assemblyman Charles Calderon (D-Whittier) for comments he made during a legislative hearing on a bill he introduced to give judges more say in the running of the state’s courts. Calderon said he meant no disrespect to Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye.
A transcript and tape of the Judiciary Committee meeting were not immediately available, but the assemblyman said in an interview that he was making a point that the bill was being advocated on policy merits rather than based on some bias against the chief justice. The assemblyman recalled saying his support for the bill has nothing to do with how "smart" or "nice" the chief justice is.
"It isn’t that she isn’t pretty," he said in the interview, recounting his comments in committee.
Evans fired off a letter asking for a formal apology.
"Your remarks regarding the chief justice were degrading and inappropriate," Evans wrote. "As the leader of California’s Judiciary, Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye should be taken seriously and not spoken about in such a dismissive and frivolous manner."
"It is crucial that women be valued for more than just being 'nice' or 'attractive,' " Evans added.
No, no! You just can't objectify women, just ask (freakin' PC asshole) Scott Eric "I'll End You" Kaufman! Hey, Little Scotty, does Calderon get a pass because he's a Democrat? Or are you going to "end him" for not toeing the left's totalitarian line? Okay, check back with me on that, will ya? Thanks bro. Freakin' dickwad loser.

Once again, fuck all that political correctness bullshit, Don. Hot chicks are hot and should be identified as such, it's a compliment for Christ's sake.
Although I do remember a time when you got your panties all in a bunch about me doing the same to little Miss Sweetits Logan back in the day. I guess objectifying women is OK when it's someone you agree with who's doing it, huh?
Don't worry though, I won't call you a hypocrite cause I know you're a sensitive boy and such. Stay gold.
She is an attractive woman. Are feminists saying that an attractive woman cannot be taken seriously and/or have the wherewithal to do the job? I suspect this is the typical drivel, jealousy, insecurity and inanity that comes from feminists. This is silly beyond belief.
It would not bother me in the least if women, and they do, stated that I was a handsome man. I would not take it as an attack on my abilities.
The day that I cannot comment on or enjoy an attractive woman is the day I join those who want to bring down an oppressive government.
She IS really pretty, what crime is it to say so? Geez those progs are hyper-sensitive!
BTW, thanks for the Tweet!
My very existence is offensive to feminists, I plan to blog about it some time today (or tomorrow). In the mean time, I'll share your post at a right-minded political page that I run at facebook:

JBW: Nice try. I was calling you out on your leftist hypocrisy. Objectify women all you want, but tell me why again you're all down with progressives?
Zilla: I'll get you linked up this weekend!!
