I have to admit I feel a tinge of skepticism about the whole story, but only a tinge. Kirsten Gillibrand has never struck me as the type of politician who would make up complete crap just so she could paint herself as a victim, and the way she's telling the story seems to imply that these idiotic comments came mainly from other Democrats - older, um, "gentlemen" who are a little too used to doing things the Old Boys' way.
