What would you do...

if you were asked to edit this piece of copy: WASHINGTON (March 16) - Valerie Plame put a glamorous face and a personal story to Democrats' criticism of the Bush administration Friday, telling a House committee that White House and State Department officials "carelessly and recklessly" blew her CIA cover in a politically motivated smear of her husband.

Would you find a touch o' sexism in it?
