Protesters ask Clinton to iron shirts

SALEM, N.H. - 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.

5. Of course it doesn't matter,

if they pulled a racist stunt at an Obama rally, every media source in the country would still be shouting about it, and people would rally behind him in a show of support.

6. Just like asking Obama to "shine my shoes"

Disgusting and out of line. Makes me ashamed to be a white male.
