Mean girl

Sarah Palin has a way of using "old boys" -- then dumping them when they become inconvenient.

    Seriously, this stuff may fly on Salon

    among the hard libs.

    but in the rest of America, if they ever read this about her, people will come away with an even more positive impression of her. I know I have.

    to wit-- looking at her, you would think she plays to the cliche of a typical girly 'woman', whatever behavior that implies.

    to hear that she is hard, opportunistic, cunning, conniving, on and on only helps to make her seem like a more appropriate candidate for office. We do not want powderpuffs in teh White House. This is why your Kerry failed. It is why the Greek Knight failed in 88. Cerebral but with a whipped cream complexion that blows over like a soap bubble in a hurricane does not, and should never, fly as a leadership credential.

    let's move onto the next point. I thought lib theology was about women being effective leaders, doing whatever must be done, even if it imitates the worst behavior of the men.

    I thought lib theology also included clauses that old white men, particularly old boy network men, were the most evil of the evil. So, y'all shluld be celebrating Palin's success over them, eh?

    Which leads to the next conclusion, none of these exposees are done about Miz Hillary or any woman whom you DO agree with.

    So it is all just more partisan bickering.

    In a world where Democrats could write reams about how evil the right has been the past eight years, ripping on someone for being an effective and unsentimental leader is not that bright.

    Me personally? I am a Ron Paul guy. Government is magnitudes and orders too big-- as is quite evident in the taxpayer handovers to trillionaires occurring this week against all our wills.

    Or as someone said on the radio yesterday. A black kid sells $300 of crack and gets ten years. An old boy of a trillionaire bank takes home $100mil plus PER YEAR while the bank collapses and the proleple are forced to bail out the criminals, and they build statues of him on Wall Street.
