Wasn't O'Connor offered positions as legal secretary rather than associate after she graduated from law school? How infuriating to read such comments about her on her retirement. I don't care if she refers to herself as an Arizona cowgirl, it's demeaning for Frist and Bush to say that. Maybe it wouldn't be if the makeup were 7 to 2 the other way.
And Hank, the "humble beginnings" thing isn't all there is to those comments. It's just.plain. different. from calling Bush a "simple cowboy." and not just because he's not that at all.

How are "simple cowboy" and "old cowgirl" really so different, especially if O'Connor uses the latter term for herself? (Serious question.)
