What a loser!

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone made an outrageous comment to Danica Patrick, the Indianapolis 500 star. (For those of you who don’t know, Formula One is a type of race car driving unlike that of the Indy 500 — they have their own drivers, tracks, schedules, and championship).
Obviously race car driving has never been at the center of progressive feminist thought, but check out this blurb from Sports Illustrated:
Patrick received a telephone call from Ecclestone last week during which he congratulated the Indy Racing League rookie for her performance at the Indianapolis 500, but also reiterated remarks he had made during an interview at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the U.S. Grand Prix was being held. Among the comments Ecclestone made in the interview and to [Patrick] was that “Women should be all dressed in white like all other domestic appliances.”
Classy. Real classy.
According to the Sports Illustrated article, Ecclestone has made controversial remarks about women before. He told Autosport racing magazine in 2000 that women could not compete in Formula One, but if one did, “she would have to be a woman who was blowing away the boys. … What I would really like to see happen is to find the right girl, perhaps a black girl with super looks, preferably Jewish or Muslim, who speaks Spanish.”
Eeeew.
