The dominatrix

Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America.

    And After Reading It.....

    It's even worse. How in the hell does this crap get published on this site? I am all for SM humor, dirty jokes, whips, chains, and democracy. I am not for the tiny segment of left media this country has left disgracing itself with empty, unfunny attempts at...what? Is this supposed to be serious? Is it supposed to be irreverent? Angry? Persuasive? Or just an example of some gross dude airing his pedestrian fetishes online? There are plenty of websites with really bad "erotic" writing. Does Salon have to compete? As an attempt at humor, this article goes over like a lead balloon. As an attempt at political commentary, it belongs somewhere between Mallard Fillmore and Sarah Palin's acceptance speech. As a swipe from the left, it actively helps John McCain. Just gross. Joan Walsh, you're a tool. Gary Kamiya, you and Dirty Old Lech Gregg Easterbrook must be good friends. Ugh.
