Arlen Specter Tells Michele Bachmann to ‘Act Like a Lady’

Democratic Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania told conservative Republican Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota that she should “act like a lady.”

What century is Arlen Specter from if he tells an adult woman to ‘act like a lady’ during a debate?

According to CBS, Specter’s comments came during a joint interview on a Pittsburgh radio station, 1210 AM’s Dom Giordano Show.  After Bachmann spoke at length, Specter started to respond and Bachmann interjected. Specter then asked Bachmann to “stop interrupting,” stating, “I didn’t interrupt you.”

“Now, wait a minute, I’ll stop and you can talk,” he said. “I’ll treat you like a lady. Now act like one.”

“Well, I am a lady,” Bachmann replied.

Arlen, it might be time to retire. What do you think?
