More scones?

The Herald feels free to patronise Miss Goldie, the new leader of the Scottish Tories, in a rather sexist way:
"The longer term question is how to steer the party into the 2007 election. One big asset is her personality, being the only female leader of a major party and one with notable people skills. She is compared to Mrs Doubtfire, her humour described as "Chic Murray in a frock", while one of her supporters said yesterday: "She now has the opportunity to project her identity as David Cameron's nice auntie." One MSP was relieved to say there would be fewer meetings to attend, while it was pointed out that meetings would have more scones. "

If the Scottish media wish to be taken seriously, then they really have to move on from such unfunny stereotyping.
