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.

    Foxy Palin, sexism in America

    If you say something bad about a woman you are sexist. Really?

    Judging by the hysteria on the part of some the women commenting here, and the venom directed at Gary and his brilliantly written piece -- it's sadly obvious that many of them are, completely irrationally, going to vote for Foxy Palin -- simply because she shares their gender. Maybe you all will get really lucky if McSame gets sick and this sad excuse for a human being becomes the Leader.

    And don't bother attacking me - I'll know it's just because I am a man and a sexist pig.
