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.

    I've been a feminist for 35 years ...

    and I thought the article was hilarious.

    You know what's sexist? The trillions of letters to Salon back in the winter and spring talking of how "polarizing" and "divisive" Hillary was. As if successful politicians by nature aren't both in spades.

    You know what's also sexist? How very rarely anyone ever called anyone on this garbage.

    And that's one of the things that led to Hillary's defeat. Which will in turn lead to the Dems' defeat in November. And probably to Hillary's defeat in 2012 to The Babe.

    As some posters have well pointed out, the left has nothing left but humor. Neither does our country if, no, make that when, McCain and Palin take this next election.
