51. Sadly, it's just another example of how misogyny has entered
the language as "common slang." We rarely consider the sexism in our language, to the point that even when it's brought to our attention we often don't recognize it. Everything from "balls" being equated to strength or heroism, to "pussy" being used to describe a wimp or weakling.
Much as I like David Shuster as a reporter, he did a stupid thing and he should pay for it -- and he should serve as an example to others.
