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.

    Would you depict a black candidate as a house slave?

    Come on, already! I didn't support Clinton and I certainly don't support Palin. But it offends me that both candidates have to be sexualized just to appeal to the overgrown-frat-boy mentality of some.

    This year, we will find out whether or not a candidate of color can win the White House. But we already know that a woman can't run without being reduced to this nonsense! What a disappointment. (And my sense of humor is perfectly intact, lest anybody tell me I should get one.)

    Get some credibility and lose the sensationalism. It's insulting.
