Is there nothing sacred? Now it's a lady's age

Frankly, my dear, I am surprised as all get out! At a recent Republican function, commission candidate Thomas Stephens displayed a less than Southern gentlemanly attitude by not only questioning, but disparaging a lady's age! Shocking!

The lady in question, Commissioner Linda Wells (who is 54), is evidently "too old" to be serving on the board. Presumably, in her dotage, she should be sipping sweet tea and knitting a sweater on a front porch somewhere.

Has Southern chivalry totally deserted us?
