In short, an adviser to presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty said that one of his opponents in the race, Michelle Bachmann, would be hard to beat because she had (among other good qualities) some sex appeal. Bachmann took it as a compliment, saying she's 55, has had kids and raised a bunch of foster kids so that sounds like good news to her. I agree.
However, Pawlenty issued an apology for the statement. Why does this need an apology? When did basically saying someone is attractive become a bad thing? I don't understand people anymore. Something tells me if someone said a male presidential candidate was handsome it wouldn't require an apology.
