Color me sexist in that case. There are several Democrats pursuing the Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts. One is Martha Coakley and another is Michael Capuano. And they are all bitter rivals trying to put one another down:
"It was Coakley supporter Therese Murray who finally broke down and played the sexist trump card. She accused Capuano of being sexist for calling Coakley "cautious." ‘‘You all have these little code words; now it’s cautious,’’ Murray charged...
In a follow-up Globe article, "Capuano attacks front-runner Coakley," Capuano seemed as surprised as anyone about the change in status of the "cautious" word: “I don’t think the average person thinks the use of the word cautious to describe generic candidates is a sexist term."
