Charmaine Yoest has some problems with what was said by the creator of the show "Commander-in-Chief" in a recent press conference, as reported in the Washington Post.

Charmaine, however, is taking this on head-on. She's asking for nominations for a photo gallery she's putting together of iconic women that this patronizing television bigwig doesn't know about. Yet.
