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.

    Oh, the Outrage! Alas, I Swoon...I Die.

    Does anyone want to argue that politicians aren't subject to parody and caricature?

    Does anyone want to argue that Palin hasn't set HERSELF up as a snarky, tough-talking Whip Woman who chastises "bad boys"?

    Does anyone seriously doubt that her steamy package of sexy-librarian looks and fake-virtue aren't being sold as stroke-material to uptight conservatives who are weary of jacking-off to Reagan photos?

    Seriously, the indignation here is laughable...but not nearly as funny as the article.
