Couric interview will be easy because she's a woman?

I heard today that Rick Davis, McCain campaign chief, is saying they thought Palin's now infamous interview with Katie Couric would be fairly easy because the interviewer was a woman too. Ok, so Davis and company are sexist. But my other thought was this: if I wanted someone who wasn't going to pull any punches with a woman, especially a woman who many people said was very attractive like Sarah Palin, I'd look for... ANOTHER WOMAN. Duh! Guys are much more likely to fall for their almost instinctive habit of taking it easy on a woman, moreso if she's pretty. Another woman isn't going to fall for that crap though. Send in a female interviewer though and she'll come out swinging.
