How Dare You Sir!

There are few things in the world more annoying to me than the constant complaining by women when men notice their good looks.
The latest example came when Pakistan's new President, Asif Zardari, made the following incredibly offensive and tasteless comment to Sarah Palin. He told her she was "gorgeous" and said "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you."
Where does he get the effrontery?
The fact is, women spend hours and millions trying to look their best so people (especially men) will think they look gorgeous. Then when it happens, they bitch about being judged only on their looks.
Now I understand why it's important for Palin (who it should be noted accepted the compliments graciously and is not complaining about them) to be taken seriously, but I refuse to accept that men view women as either good-looking or smart.
I know plenty of women whom I view to be both. I even married one.
