grrr

This whole Sara Palin thing has got me very angry. I rarely get stuck in a "feminist" response (I think "humanist" is a better term for treating everybody well if they deserve it) but I am so angry that she's the "answer" for Hillary not being on the dems ticket

Flirting her way to victory
This article in the Guardian speaks to my distress.

"At least three times last night, Sarah Palin, the adorable, preposterous vice-presidential candidate, winked at the audience. Had a male candidate with a similar reputation for attractive vapidity made such a brazen attempt to flirt his way into the good graces of the voting public, it would have universally noted, discussed and mocked. Palin, however, has single-handedly so lowered the standards both for female candidates and American political discourse that, with her newfound ability to speak in more-or-less full sentences, she is now deemed to have performed acceptably last night......"

And this guy in the Newburyport Current thinks she could be our daughter, and we should be nicer to her?????????

but at least we can juggle feeding the PETS??..... (excerpted below)

"Now we look at them and see what they have become and think, "Wow!" Little seems to get the best of them, and if it does, they know how to find solutions. They juggle a schedule that includes a husband, kids, employment and pets and still have enough left to be pleasant to be around."

Enough left to run the country even though she is an IDIOT?

It was comforting to me to read the comment section from the Current. My daughter, indeed!

arrrrghhhh.
