Former Vice President Joe Biden (D-BFD) became the subject of uncharacteristic criticism among conservatives when he referred to right-wing media star Ann Coulter simply as the conservative blonde woman, and blamed her for Donald Trumps government shutdown.

CNNs Randi Kaye happened to run into Biden at Philadelphia International Airport this week, and among the other subjects that came up was the current government shutdown.

Republicans overwhelmingly voted to keep the government open, Biden told Kaye, and added Then Rush Limbaugh and the conservative blonde woman says hes losing his base, and so hes changed his mind.

That exchange went viral, and drew a variety of reactions. Some cheered Bidens snub:

But to their credit, even some liberals didnt give Biden a pass for saying Limbaughs name, while failing to say Coulters:

Among conservatives, though, the complaints of sexism were as thick and rich as a foie gra milkshake:

The website Twitchydeclared Bidens comments a new front in the War on Women, and asked the rhetorical question what kind of reaction do you think it would receive if a Republican were to refer to someone on the Left as a blonde woman?

But when Trump called an actual blonde woman horseface, conservatives defended him, and that same Twitchy Dot Com defended Trump by noting that Stormy Daniels started it.

Townhall also wondered if Biden would face backlash for the comment:

Will feminist groups speak up and demand an apology from Biden for the (some would say sexist) comment? We shall see.

Even Russia Today came to Coulters defense (of course):

Obama-era vice-president Joe Biden is being called out for sexism after he referred to a radio host as a conservative blonde woman, while blaming the media for hyping up President Donald Trump to go into the government shutdown.

There is every chance that Biden just blanked on Coulters name, but these reactions are a stark demonstration of the gulf between conservatives concerns over attacks on women like, say, Michelle Obama, and this minor slight against Coulter.
