Mean girl

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

    What does being a "girl" have to do with it?

    I'm as anti-Palin as the next person. And I think she deserves whatever comes her way in terms of criticism. And nothing bugs me more than her empty cries as a victim of sexism. But "Mean Girl" as the title of an article about her? Come on...Nothing in this article had anything to do with Palin being a female - it was all about the conniving, opportunist politician she is. Keep up those kinds of empty headlines and you play right into their hands. The article only shows that she does what men have been doing for centuries. There is nothing particularly "mean" or "girlish" about it. It's just lame. She sucks. Now let's get on with the business of making sure she doesn't get elected.
