One of the things you have to look for, since the press seems to find it
unimportant is that fact that Betsey Wright, Mary Matalin's counterpart
in the Clinton campaign, was the one who actually said that her
opposition research group was spending altogether to much time fending
off "bimbo eruptions". Mary Matalin simply quoted it. Bush apologized for
it, and I am waiting and wondering if the Clinton campaign will follow
suit.

Personally, I find the term offensive and degrading to women, as well as
men, and I comdemn the Clinton campaign for using it in the first place, and
the Bush campaign for quoting it.
