Iron my shirt?
Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign stop was interrupted Monday when two men stood in the crowd and began screaming, "Iron my shirt!" during one of her final appearances before the New Hampshire primary.I think they were a plant. It is a derivation of an old joke about a woman begging a man for sex and saying that she would do anything he wanted. The punch line of the joke is when the guy says "paint my house." I think the Hillary camp changed it to "Iron my shirt" to make it sound more sexist.Clinton, a former first lady running to become the nation's first female president, laughed at the seemingly sexist protest that suggested a woman's place is doing the laundry and not running the country.
"Ah, the remnants of sexism — alive and well," Clinton said to applause in a school auditorium.
The two men were removed from the hall after raising a pair of signs that said, "Iron my shirt!" They also shouted the same slogan.
"Can we turn the lights on? It's awfully dark," Clinton said, cueing the lights to come and police to come forward to take the men away.
The overflow crowd burst into applause and some began shouting, "Iron my shirt" as the two were taken from the hall.

Don Surber also thinks it is a put up job. Michele Malkin traces the guys to a Boston radio show.
