    Gary Kamiya has a frat boy brain.

    This article is sexist and the photo is sexist.

    Apparently an assertive woman who is post menopausal must be characterized as castrating, and an assertive woman who is attractive must be sexualized and characterized as a dominatrix.

    Kamiya devotes little of his article to Palin's actual, dubious positions. He is obviously much more interested in sexual positions.

    We can all now feel utterly reassured that Kamiya has an imagination beyond missionary. What we can't feel assured about is his capacity to think with his big head.

    Squeeze your legs together Kamiya. You just became a cliche.
