How is calling someone a "bigoted woman" this big fucking deal? Saw this on Yahoo for some goddamn reason (the US site for fucksake), and now here...
It'd be one thing if he called her a stupid bitch or a floppy cunt, but a "bigoted woman"? They even refer to it as a "slur" in the headline...
Who gives a fuck?
It's like arguing with someone and saying "Well sir, I don't agree and I think your opinion is ludicrous" then going back and saying "Oh god, I'm so sorry for using such strong language".
And here I thought you brits were hardcore.
Well, it's getting pretty close to the election now and much of the media are using any opportunity they can to put Brown down. A lot of people agree with her views too (which is depressing enough) so he essentially called half the population 'bigoted'. But yes, I agree, it's a massive overreaction.
I wish he hadn't apologised though. He should take on his 'step outside posh boy' persona and start using that. He'd win my vote.
