Men Reporting on Men

When watching Hardball tonight and the commentary on last night's Veep debate I found that Chris Matthews and the other male pundents had no clue how to comment on a man (Joe Biden). They discussed how energetic Palin had been, but as a woman I feel that Biden showed just as much energy and charisma as Governor Palin, and men have a more difficult time as picking that up or articulating it. It made wonder if when men talk about Palin's energy are they referring to her sex appeal.
