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.

    This article made me laugh - Does that make me a bad person?

    Seriously though, there were dominatrix articles/picts for Hillary Clinton. And it was a Rolling Stone article that refered to Hillary as "America's Ex-wife", so this article is no more sexist than any of those.

    I even think the article hit the nail on the head but I still don't think it will do any good.

    Why not? I'll give you two reasons.

    1. "Honey, the pervert vote is important to us". - Dharma and Greg

    2. It really IS sexist and independant women will remember this.
