Not Your Father’s Political Discussion

If this were any other election year a story like this would be, well, shocking (via Evil White Guy).

NEW YORK (AP) -- It was one of those heated political discussions that happen at conventions -- but delegate Steve Frank was having it with a topless female protester.

"Vietnam and Iraq -- what else do you discuss with a half-naked woman?" the staunch social conservative from Simi Valley, Calif., marveled later of the encounter in the street outside his hotel.

Frank said he quickly called his wife of 32 years to tell her about the incident before she heard it from someone else.

And he wasn't claiming to have won the argument.

"One does not win a debate in the streets of New York with a half-naked woman," he said.


Indeed.

In fact, I'd wager that one does not win debates with women even partially clothed.
