Two protestors just stood up in the audience holding orange signs that read "IRON MY SHIRT," and chanted "Iron my shirt, Iron my shirt" for a few seconds until led out by security.

She said, "Obviously the remnants of sexism are alive and well."
The crowd stood and cheered loudly to drown out the protestors. A few minutes later, she went back to the well with uncharacteristic humor:
"We talk about a lot of issues, and we'll talk about more tonight. If anyone out there would like me to explain to them how to iron their own shirt, I can do that."
She got a good laugh, and went on to talk about breaking the glass ceiling, to another standing "O".
Update: Is it just me, or is an overtly sexist attack of this nature-- something we haven't seen in the campaign yet to my knowledge-- just a little odd and almost too perfect? She's having a rough time of it in New Hampshure, she cries at a campaign stop, and along come two trogolodytic sexists whom she can vanquish with her grrrl power. Just seemed like a really odd attack to me. Heh, I think I'm "questioning the timing."
Update:Allah's been tracking down info on the perps and has some evidence that it might have been a radio show stunt.
