...romance of power is balanced by the romance of romance: there are boyfriends, marriages and affairs--his and hers--along with the business intrigue. But the shows also share the theme that stereotypes and double standards don't stop at the door of a corner office; the same behavior that gets applauded in men gets women labeled ice queens, bad mothers and bitches. In Cashmere, publisher Mia (Lucy Liu) is asked to sign off on a men's-magazine cover, for a story about predatory businesswomen, with a terrified man on a dinner plate and a pair of nail-polished...

And those same staffers delight in trading stories about Romney's odd behavior. The day before the Republican primary, Huckabee mocked Romney for ordering lunch at a Kentucky Fried Chicken, then peeling off the fried coating and eating it with a knife and fork.
