South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's spokesperson accused The New York Times of sexism after a source referred to the governor as the 'perfect ornament' for former President Donald Trump. ...

Spokesperson Ian Fury expressed outrage that the paper spent so much time focused on the governor's looks. 

'I've seen a lot of sexist drivel since working for @kristinoem ... this takes the cake,' he posted to X Wednesday morning.  'The @nytimes called her "the perfect ornament." Yes, really.'

Well, far be it from me to turn down a little schadenfreude at the expense of the NYT, but ... isn't that what Noem was selling in the informercial -- her looks? As in literally selling? "Cosmetic dental surgery" is all about looks, no? Otherwise we'd be talking about functional or restorative dental surgery. 

If Noem didn't want her looks to be the focus, she shouldn't be cutting ads for businesses on the basis of looks. And why is the governor of South Dakota cutting commercials for businesses at all?
