Will appears to have a problem with women, he said nearly the exact same thing about Palin in May.

(CNS News) — Washington Post columnist George Will, who has never commanded anything with greater throw-weight than a word processor, suggested on ABC’s “This Week” this morning that President Barack Obama would have an easier time in the general election defeating Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann than Texas Gov. Rick Perry because the “threshold question in any presidential race” is “[s]hould this person have control of nuclear weapons.”

Earlier this year, Will used very similar terms to deprecate what he also perceives to be former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s lack of fitness to control the U.S. nuclear arsenal as president.

That day, according to the transcript posted by ABC News, host Christiane Amanpour asked Will: “Is Sarah Palin going to run?”

“Second, the threshold question,” Will continued. “It’s not usually asked, but it’s in everyone’s mind in a presidential election. Should we give this person nuclear weapons? And the answer is — answers itself there. That doesn’t mean she can’t be without political consequence.”
