She said "nucular." Twice.
I realized three things tonight. For one, if you are a McCain/Palin/Bush voter, you and I do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in brain power. Two, she really is as ignorant as I feared. And, three, she really is kinda hot. Basically, I want to have sex with her on my Barack Obama sheets while my wife reads aloud from the Constitution. (My wife is cool with this if I promise to "first wipe off Palin's tranny makeup." I married well.)
Now, I want to be clear and speak directly to those of you who LOVED that Palin interview. You're an idiot.

I'm a lifelong feminist. I'm a card carrying member of NOW, a member of Planned Parenthood, have given money and time, fought for legislation and marched in protests for 23 years.
And I have sad news for you: not every comment leveled at a woman is sexist. Get over yourselves already.
The interview WAS scary. Do any of you actually think we can sustain three and possibly four simultaneous wars? and one of those with Russia? That's not sexism, it's common sense. Palin has good poise and projection- remnants of beauty contest training- but no useful knowledge or ideas that are beneficial to society. She is less qualified to be VP than I am, and she is going to have to deal with the same scrutiny that any other candidate would. Especially under these circumstances.
If you want to whine sexism to me, bring it. I'll be happy to tell you where to put it. This old feminist is ready for that debate.
Hi Old Feminist,
Beauty Contest Training ~ how disgusting of you. Of all people you feminists have paved the road for women like Palin to be where she is and you reduce her to a Beauty Contestant?
I already addressed your kind in my blog about Steinem not speaking for me. Thanks but no thanks. Where do feminists get off being the authority over what is or isn't sexism?
I have news for you: Sarah Palin is a product of your feminist movement and you should be proud of her accomplishments but what do you do? Reduce her to a beauty contestant? That itself is sexist.
Let me remind you that there are other intelligent women on the planet who are not feminists and are quite capable of identifying sexism and this article is dripping with sexism ~ starting with the title. How convenient the word "Naked" is used to draw a particular audience who share the same language ~ sexism.
You have paved the way for the generation of women after you (that would be me) and I hate to tell you this, but has it ever occurred to you that we didn't ask to have our worlds turned upside down by you. We didn't wake up one day and say "hey, I want to go out and compete with men".
You are NOT the voice of all women like you think you are so take that smug "lifelong feminist" identity somewhere else.
And I might advise you to put your Planned Parenthood membership to good use and teach the young ladies to embrace and respect themselves as ladies so they don't have to be out in the world trying to be a man as you have forced other generations of women after you.
Yes, beauty contest training. That's where she gets the training in poise, calm and personality projection. I didn't "reduce" her to anything, that was you.
So where do YOU get off deciding what is or isn't sexism, Robin? What have you done, accomplished, fought for or believed that would qualify you to tell the rest of us who is being sexist? You seem to be throwing the word around merrily, so lets hear what qualifies you above anyone else.
Do you even have a clue what feminism IS? Apparently not. "Forced out into the world"?? "Trying to be a man"?? Excuse me? Are you suggesting putting the clock back 50 years and teaching women that they MUST be submissive housewives, worthless without virginity before marriage and worthless without children after? ALL women are valuable, whether they choose to work, have kids, marry, not marry, have sex or stay a virgin, be straight or gay. A woman choosing to go to work is not "trying to be a man", good grief.
I find it disgusting that you will defend an ideologue like Palin against any and all criticism, who is so determined to destroy everything we created to allow her to get where she is, because YOU apparently didn't want to go out and get a job. Fine by me. But don't shove it on the rest of us. You don't speak for me either, kid, but here's the difference between us: I fought to get you that VOICE and that CHOICE. You want to force yours on others. And that really is a bridge to nowhere.
Thanks, but no thanks.
You fought to give that voice and that choice so that entitles you to belittle my voice?
That is the problem with you feminists ~ arrogance. You act like we owe you something then tell us to get over ourselves?
You are living in the dark ages lady. No one needs to prove to you that our voice is valid enough -- with or without the creditials you seem to think make you superior to others WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A CLUE AS TO WHO THEY ARE.
If you don't like what I have to say about sexism then this page isn't for you ~ period.
By the way, my background is rooted in the phenomenon of discourse and how language creates reality. I am also a self expression community leader who teaches others to lead in their communities to make a difference. Key words: self expression. My job is to listen for where another person is suppressed and cause that person a paradigm shift such that they can be effective at producing results in the world.
You might want to look at how your use of words are designed to oppress others while touting your superiority.
There are plenty of other places for you to use your time wisely but we won't tolerate you or anyone else who comes to this site to smear Palin.
I hope that's clear.
Anonymous if your so proud of your accomplishments why not use your real name!It's easy to pick apart a persons idea's when you stay hidden behind a phoney copout,no name let me run my mouth,and tear you down.I'm a man and can spot your phony s--t a mile away,truth be known your a obamination man,or want-a-be like Robin said if don't like what you read turn the channel back to MSNBC and stay off this site.You obamazombies don't have to be here if know what I mean.
Darrell- because I've had email threats before- not from here, from elsewhere- and I don't put my name and email out in public anymore, even on much more women-friendly blogs. I'm pretty ballsy, but I also have an eleven-year-old son who isn't, and I don't put him at risk.
My apologies for the double posts, I didn't see Darrell's until the first was already posted.
As for these email threats you've been getting... I CAN SEE WHY.
We (women) want to see one of us hold a high position job. However, it seems to me that we(women) trash each other when one seems to be rising.
It also seems to me that a current talking point of the current Democrats is destroying Palin. Previously, destroying Hillary was a talking of the Obamanians. Also, some people keep on saying that a vote for McCain/Palin means another 4 years of Bush. I do not think so. Please, nobody use the word "foolish" to describe us whose votes will go to McCain/Palin again. If you do your homework on McCain, you will know that several of his policies are against the Bush policies, for example enery bill, global warming. McCain also has a record of bipartisan spirit.
With respect to the Iraq war, McCain and Hillary, including others voted for it. Mr. Obama was not in the Senate at the time but people keeps on giving him credit for "not voting' for war. How can? Subsequently, Mr. Obama and others (including Hillary) voted for funding the troops in Iraq (which is the right thing to do in my opinion to save our soldiers).

ANONYMOUS sorry you received threats that's stupid,but I believe it's just as stupid to go into a site and belittle people.I don't go to Obamination sites and belittle anyone,the secret word is choice,and we got screwed out of ours,without even a kiss.If as you say your a Hillary supporter how can you not be furious at the way they stole our chance,to have a President that we can trust to do as they said they would.Instead we get a lying racist pushed down our throats,that says what he thinks you want to hear,then tells the next guy a different line of crap cause that's what he wants.You know the Rev.Jessie Jackson is right Obama looks down on black people,but he forgot to mention he looks down on white people as well.Obamination will throw everyone under his by now famous bus when he gets what he wants.So its up to us to get off the bus and just say no deal!
No Way No Deal No Obama.
It is just simple like that.
