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.

    Lame and irrelevant

    While the personality cult that so quickly enveloped Palin is worth analyzing on many levels, to me she is cut from the same mold as Anne Coulter, who I believe has made a career acting out a scripted part. Like Coulter's views, it would be far more worthwhile deconstructing Palin's words and deeds to expose her shallow thinking, dogmatic fundamentalism, and outright lies.

    Her appeal to the male right wing really says more about them than about Palin.
