This article has no place in publication. It uses a bunch of naughty sex metaphors to try to paint Palin as a lusty dominatrix... while pinning that image, for which Kamiya is wholly responsible, on allegedly sexually-repressed, perverted conservatives. This article is scant on evidence and substance and heavy on ad hominem attacks.
I dislike Palin as much as anyone, and there are plenty of reasons to dislike her. There are plenty of reasons to dislike conservatives, or in any case, to disagree with them. But the reason liberals are supposedly so much better than conservatives is because we are capable of arguing on the issues, not on sexist attacks like this one. There are plenty of issues on which one may rightfully criticize Palin. There is no need to stoop to this garbage.
