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.

    Disappointing & Disgusting

    How does this get printed? Oh right, you're a founder. Maybe you should take a look at your own Broadsheet from time to time. It's 2008 and "tasty female flavoring" is beyond inappropriate when "evaluating" female politicians, don't you think? Thank you for providing this week's first example of misogyny for my women's studies classroom. The "fantasy pin-up" or "dominatrix" (making her Hillary's GOP counterpart, I guess) to whom you're referring is a former mayor and now GOVERNOR. That's The Honorable Sarah Palin to you, Mr. Kamiya.
