    Dominatrix? Whip? Reaming?

    Where the hell did THAT come from? You know, in the last week I can safely say I've had not the least fleeting image of Sarah Palin dominating anyone. And I suspect I'm not alone.

    Which sort of begs the all-too-obvious question: doesn't his analogy indeed say so much more about Gary Kamiya (and those who think it apt) than it does about Sarah Palin and those who aren't terrified of her? I'm just saying.
