What is relevance of Bisek hair color?
I enjoyed the editorial (Gingrich’s chutzpah, May 11) and agree fully with the position taken by the author. However, I do have a nit to pick.
What possible relevance is the color of Ms. Bisek’s hair? “… Bisek, a platinum blonde who would now accompany him around the country …” (emphasis added).
What is the author trying to accomplish by including this unnecessary and sexist piece of information? A criticism of Ms. Bisek? An indictment of all platinum blondes? Another, and in this one situation unwarranted, slap at Mr. Gingrich’s judgment?
I like the Times Free Press, and I like some of the editorials, especially this one. But, pleaaaassssseee don’t write like a nose-out-of-joint Puritan.
