    'A bully' .... I am not a huge fan of the Bushes and yes he was a bit patronising but they would not be saying that if the opponent was a man.... so why the double standards?

    The thing is if there was a man opposite bush his answer most probably would have been very different, he would almost certainly not have started his answer with "let me help you" this clearly implies that his opponent doesn't understand the situation, and man or woman this answer is condescending nonetheless but his particular response has an underlying tone of sexism

    the 1980's were surely a highly chaotic time with politics and national and certain world affairs. Up there with the 60's and 70's.

    I'm a man and I can't tell you how many times I've had WOMEN say "let me help you with that" and then proceed to lecture me about something. Oh but God forbid you say it to a woman because then you're somehow a chauvinist, yet it's all well and fine when a woman says it to a man. Howwwwww convenient. Same old double standard at work . . .

    It was Newt Gingrich's mother referring to Hillary with a word that rhymes with witch in what she was told was an off the record moment in an interview with Connie Chung, not Barbara Bush.

    The watch incident happened with Clinton. Bush checked his watch because he thought Clinton was taking extra time and not following the time rules. Had any of these commentators cared to discuss that fact they would be telling the truth. Ferraro was so inexperienced she was out of her league. One of the worst tickets in political history.

    They only showed one clip of the debate, but as I remember, Bush was repeatedly condescending and dismissive of his opponent in a way that seemed clearly sexist at the time. I wish they had showed more clips to make that point.
