No shame, no guilt, no class.
I hope they paid you well to hype their product.
What a poverty lies between your ears.
There is nothing more exquisitely painful than hearing women judge the flaws and merits of porn. It's like fish discussing air quality.
Yay for the First Amendment!
Now this is Free Speech that even the Left can get behind!
(do u c wat i did ther?)
I wouldn't call them women, for that insults an entire gender. These are far less than any women I know and remember that your mother was a woman and you would not liken her to these things.

Dear "something stinks" -
You are a crazy person. Please stop posting your crazy person things on my Internet. I thank you for your attention in this matter, crazy person.
every single time we see her say something that is caught on the news channels or put into print?
Would they post the same if it were Biden or Obama being dealt with the same way? How about Hillary?
Have a nice big bite of misogyny.
Lower the bar low enough and even you will have to slide under it.
Not that you would mind.
...scenes with moose?
Disclaimer - I didn't see that clip.
But, i mean, how's Nina? I mean, hey folks, while you all get excited about some baloon bimbo playing caribou barbie, you have an actual, sex positive accomplished feminist, a published author and activist who (IIRC) even testified before Congress once (among other things) play Hillary Clinton.
But all you can talk about is barbie-playing bimbo.
Whats wrong with you?
I thought you had better taste!!!
I don't find anything alluring about Palin or the actress depicting Palin in "Nailin Palin." And this is coming from a man that is a big aficionado of porn (the sexual kind, not the violent or disturbing kind).
Even acknowledging this crap is beneath you and insulting to your readers. Sarah Palin is poorly educated, narrow minded and empty headed. Take the high road.
It is a long way from the toilet to the high road.
The Republicans have been utilizing political pornography since the introduction of Nixon's "Southern Strategy."
As a result, America has been subjected to rule by a pornocracy so sleazy it makes Larry Flynt look like a paragon of moral virtue.
why it might do well, at least among horny guys who like politics.
... even though I'm a defiantly Third-wave, pro-sex feminist, I find myself pretty queasy about this Broadsheet entry.
The sexism inherent in the fact that there's even a market for porn spoofing a (female) politician? Now there would be a juicy topic. But this article lacks much in the way of critical comment ("shoulda picked a better lookalike" doesn't cut it).
I can't imagine how mortified I'd feel in Sarah Palin's shoes to know that porn was being marketed as a way of mocking me. I have little sympathy for her, but this goes way beyond political shennanigans and well into misogynist territory. God forbid any woman become a public figure, particularly a powerful one, lest her body (or spoofs thereof) become public property too. Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice are being subjected to the same treatment, let's not forget, and are thus sbject to the same powerfully-shaming message.
And the fact that it's done by Hustler says it all, really. If a feminist porn producer like Nina Hartley or Veronica Vera had at the topic, maybe I'd find this a little less vile. No, on second thought, I wouldn't. Hurray for consensual, empowering, sexy, diverse, interesting, stereotype-challenging porn, but if this film manages any but the barest compliance with the first criteria, I'll eat my laptop.
Looks pretty bad! No one I know wants to bang Palin, so I have no way to test its effectiveness as porn. Given her acting in the little clip, I can't imagine she moans convincingly in bed.
This whole omnibus style of Broadsheet commentary is very odd. It's like all the female writers share a dormitory wing and partied down in the A/V room with a freshly unwrapped porno and a case of wine coolers.
I can't bring myself to watch a porn that doesn't have the sex in it. It's sort of like eating the cone around the ice cream.
Please post your collective opinions on THIS:

I have about as much sympathy for her as I would for Paris Hilton in the same circumstances. Paris? She got famous by filming herself screwing Shannon Doherty's husband. She's a porn star, essentially, who has fooled the public into pretending she's an actress, model, singer, and even etiquette adviser. Palin is similar. She was picked for her sex appeal and her far-out evangelical nuttiness, despite a startling lack of any conceivable qualifications for the job of VP. (What does the VP do anyway? asks Sarah, a little bit before the Republican convention.)
Live by the sword, die by the sword. She's not a politician and doesn't deserve to be treated as one.
...Now we have to save white women...from the RUSSIANS!
(Is it me though, or are those hats like, totatlly hot?!?)
What Would Camille Paglia Say?
Just...um...WOW. (re: La Pequena)
ALLIE:
What you said.
I loved that. When out, I sometimes wear a WWJD bracelet so that when some unsuspecting notices it and thinks it an opportunity for fellowship, I explain to them that I just love to make life decisions based on seeing everything from a "What would Judas do?" perspective...
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Brilliant! Hysterical! The camp factor is delicious! I LUVS the scifi effects. However, how can we respond about how this relates to feminism without seeing the entire porno? Is there adequate foreplay? DP? Will they stay true to her politics with a creampie? Can she squirt? I have so many questions…
