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.

    you're perpetuating it with your criticism

    The dominatrix article...is so completely offensive, the artwork alone!! The draw of the newsworthy corset was a shitty move! I had to give the writer the benefit of the doubt so I read on. Ok I get it..sex sells. Although I appreciate your anti-McCain stance and I understand your angle on her strategic placement and role and the reaction of the conservative boner...I have to question the boner of the writer himself. I felt like you were getting off just laying out your sexualized criticism. I found the whole manner in which you approached the subject a mere replication of what you're pointing out. Maybe that was your own ironic tactic. It was lost on me. This woman, although I completely disagree with her political views, at the very least deserves to not be objectified by those who preach from a liberal pulpit. Yeah maybe they did it first, but you did it again!
