a drug rep asked me yesterday if my hair was "darker." I told her indignantly that I don't dye my hair.

The pastel swatches are all the rage with older ladies in these parts. It can be a bit startling, IMO to come into ICU and find a tiny 60 something nurse now has pink hair.

... there is no standard of gentlemanly behaviour that would ever allow for a gentleman to say that to or in the presence of any woman. A more old-fashioned standard would never let him utter such words at all of a lady of Mrs Clinton's stature - she is forthright and outspoken but as she has never dishonoured her husband and family, a certain deference is required regardless of how she may comport herself.

The fellow betrays himself, as she has never done anything in public sufficiently nasty to offset the vulgarity of saying it.

I've learned in my work as a physician is that people can say mean things when upset and I try to evaluate that in the context of our relationship prior (patients and employees.) A lot of times they don't remember when they come back to me or ask me a favor, so I'll try not to remind them until such a situation comes up again if it does. I realized that at least one of us has to be a grown up but I was well into my late 30s before I arrived there. The Donald acts like a kid who has been enabled and entitled all his life.

IKR? Sort of like how the good xtians kidnapped the "lazy" African "primitives" to get them to do all the back breaking work and give them a "better life."

I was thinking "twist and shout" (the shouting done by the recipient of the twist)
