It’s funny, I had somebody, one of my friends said to me, “You’re lucky the person who attacked you for being a sexist was such an idiot! (Laughs) Because otherwise you would have had a much harder time!” I don’t know what that was about, I mean Erica Jong wrote this crazy thing that I had some Freudian desire to sleep with my mother because I described Hillary Clinton’s arms as being flabby.
