Story here. Excerpt:

'FINDLAY - It may have been "ill-advised" to threaten to castrate an irate caller, but Hancock County Commissioner Emily Walton said Friday she has no plans to resign her elected office.

"Suffice to say, it was an ill-advised comment precipitated by my unsuccessful request that he treat our staff politely and with respect," said Dr. Walton, a long-time veterinarian.
...
"People disagree. They blow off steam. They use the Lord's name in vain, but this stunned me," Mr. Davidson said yesterday.
...
The comment may have shocked Mr. Davidson, but did not surprise those who know Dr. Walton.

"Emily's Emily. She's demonstrative," Mr. Ingold said. "She has brought a shovel in before at a meeting to demonstrate because she felt that all we get done is shoveling stuff that got left on our plate because the former commissioners didn't handle it. She's used her veterinary tools for emphasis on a number of occasions."'

Sounds like another case of a chivalrist trying to excuse a woman's behavior.

...for the United States of Misandry. Letterman gets raked over the coals for a joke about Palin's daughter, Imus gets fired for the nappy headed ho thing, the guys who associated Clinton with Mad Bitch beer lose their segment on the net, this cow on the other hand gets to keep her job. Could be worse i guess - she could be on the Supreme Court.
