Ramblings of a
Liberal Hypersomniac

My God-Sister sent me an article written by Cintra Wilson about Sarah Palin. It is indignant, and funny, but true. I don't like Sarah Palin for Vice President and Wilson's article captured many of the reasons. My favorite passage in the article is this:

The Republicans are, in effect, saying: We're not
going to win this race on the basis of being the better candidates. Barack Obama
is going to make you think. You don't like thinking. Here's an It Girl vice
president who is easy on the eyes, you stodgy old white baby boomer. She's like
a grown-up version of Mary Ann from "Gilligan's Island." She embodies the raw
conviction that everything the Republicans have ever done has been right. She'll
make you feel better about yourself for voting for Bush. Twice.

Relax: The war is God's plan. (Or whatever.) Women,
even if they are vice president, can always look pretty, worship their husbands
in the fear of God and never, ever resist invasions from unwanted sperm.

Sarah Palin and her virtual burqa have me and my
friends retching into our handbags. She's such a power-mad, backwater
beauty-pageant casualty, it's easy to write her off and make fun of her. But in
reality I feel as horrified as a ghetto Jew watching the rise of National
Socialism.
