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.

    World domination, or just a session in the dungeon

    High dungeon, it seems. (Yes yes, I know it's "dudgeon". One has to be careful making jokes around here.)

    Tuned in this morning to see what kind of fulminating got done overnight. A quite satisfactory amount.

    Couple observations - fetboy said "AKA Smith, you continue to make the mistake that voters really care what gets written on the blogs. If McCain wins, it will be because the voters voted him into office, not because of anything that you, I, Kamiya, or anyone else writes about on blogs or internet news."

    Quite. All this worry about how the article & pic will make any kind of difference, sheesh.

    Harlemita - what you said!

    Kagikaze - "channelling Maureen Dowd a bit too much" - cute. (Wait for MD's version any minute now.)

    Deeply Imbedded - For the booboisie, a candidate with boobs.

    Couple notes of my own - this article is being castigated for sexism against women. I read it as sexism against men. (Not complaining, mind you!)

    For all those people complaining about not enough yammer about issues, check out the WP this morning. It doesn't strike me as terribly damning (as politicians go), but this will no doubt be the first of many, many negative articles about Palin and her doings. The press wants blood (Palin should be out taking pre-emptive shots from the air), the "fresh-faced" bit getting tired now...
