When you work face-to-face with constituents daily, who feel that the world's problems begin and end at your desk, you learn to have thick skin and a backbone of steel, to use your term.
As for being gutless and hateful, I am not afraid to answer to you nor anyone else. The reality of the situation, as I see it, is a bunch of married men (save some singles) staring at some woman on the internet. I feel, as a committed man who is deeply in love with my girl, that this is not only disrespectful to your other, but it continues the objectification of women that the women's rights movement has fought to resolve for the past fifty years. The photos, which present Kalama as no more than an object, serve only as to be presentations as a woman as an object. That, in of itself Ape, is my problem.
Honestly, Ape, a comment like yours would never be said to my face. Don't feel too big about yourself.
