Ecclestone and confused by his comments likening women to "domestic
appliances."

A lot of PR gaffes lately, indicating large underlying problems it seems to
me.

He's just a moron. BTW, you don't have to be rich to say what you think - you just have to have balls.

Bernie has never won any personality contests that I'm aware of. And he's
rich enough not to have to worry about being politically correct. Such is
life.

And, btw, given a choice between FREE_SACKER and Albers and those twits at
Jordan, I know where my money would be.

I think the guy was making fun of Americans and our treatment of women, or
at least how we want to pretend that women in America are on equal footing
with men.

I disagree. I think it was a joke, preying on America's long-lasting ***
for domesticating women.
Alanb
I agree with this as political correctness irritates me, though this
might just fall more toward lacking tact. I do find it odd that he
chose to say it about a woman driver that appears to be the real deal
and to CALL HER to say those things. Wasn't like she was seeking an F1
ride and looked him up.
I'm not a fan of IRL either, but Danica has bigger balls than many of
the F1 drivers. They were scared to the point of protest by Indy when
F1 first came back, even though the terminal velocity of the F1 cars
would have been lower than the speed the IRL cars run lap after lap,
they were pissing their pants over the wall.
Ecclestone should at least have the sense to lay low until he gets his
own mess under control.
They why do I have to climb onto a pedastal to talk to Her Highness, the
Missus????

But look here, I'm an American myself. But I think this F1 guy was just
pulling everyone's chain, critical of how the American media looks at things
and what its true motivation is.
