Yes, the National Republican Congressional Committee goes there.

Wasserman Schultz, the Florida congresswoman who is a rising star in the Democratic caucus, described as sexist the NRCC’s advice to Gen. Stanley McChrystal (who backs a more robust Afghanistan offensive) to put House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (who does not) "in her place."

Here’s the NRCC’s reply: "Attacking white males hardly contributes to the debate." (Hat tip, TPM).

Listen for Wasserman Schultz’s laughter when she hears this, um, clever riposte. It’s part of why we at Capital J have a DWS soft spot. There. We said it. Call us biased.
