GOP chairman responds to 'back in the kitchen' comment

Yesterday, we told you about the outrageous comments printed in the Medina County (Ohio) Republican Executive Committee's Republican Review newsletter, saying "Let's take Betty Sutton out of the House and put her back in the kitchen." You were all as disgusted as we were -- but if you thought the situation was already bad, just wait -- there's more.

We just learned in an interview with Talking Points Memo that County GOP chairman Bill Heck has responded to this mailing stating:

"I'm not sure that it was intended -- in fact I'm positive that it was not in intended to be sexist. ... I have a wife that was elected twice to county office, and once was a judge. I've got two daughters."

Does he really think being married to a woman or having daughters means you cannot be sexist?
