"Put Your Big-Girl Panties On," Says Spellings

EdSec Spellings makes it to Number Four on Time Magazine's list of T-Shirt Worthy slogans for 2007 with this instruction apparently given to incoming White House spokesperson Dana Perino on the occasion of her getting the job.

This sounds to me like a female, Texas version of the now-ubiquitous instruction that is given to "man up."

Of course, there are many women who man up more often than men, and several men I can think of who really need to put their big-girl panties on.
