I am timing just how quickly "Iron my shirt" T-shirts will be available online. If I don't see an ad for one by tomorrow night I'll be very surprised.
Here's the AP story.
SALEM, N.H. (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign stop was
interrupted Monday when two men stood in the crowd and began
screaming, "Iron my shirt!" during one of her final appearances
before the New Hampshire primary.
Clinton, a former first lady running to become the nation's
first female president, laughed at the seemingly sexist protest
that suggested a woman's place is doing the laundry and not running
the country.
"Ah, the remnants of sexism -- alive and well," Clinton said to
applause in a school auditorium.
The two men were removed from the hall after raising a pair of
signs that said, "Iron my shirt!" They also shouted the same
slogan.
"Can we turn the lights on? It's awfully dark," Clinton said,
cueing the lights to come and police to come forward to take the
men away.
The overflow crowd burst into applause and some began shouting,
"Iron my shirt" as the two were taken from the hall.
"As I think has been abundantly demonstrated, I am also running
to break through the highest and hardest glass ceiling," she said.
Clinton later joked about the incident as she invited questions.
"If there's anyone left in the auditorium who wants to learn
how to iron a shirt, I'll talk about that," she said with a smile.
Clinton placed a disappointing second place in Iowa's caucuses
last week and faces a tough challenge in Tuesday's primary from
Barack Obama, who leads her with just one day remaining.
