Gary--
You're a disgusting excuse for a human being! I do NOT agree with Palin's policies, particularly her one on abortion that you cite in which she would not make allowances for rape victims. Yet I am enraged that you so graphically detail a scene of forced sexual intercourse that mimics rape in the following excerpt from your column: "You could practically feel the crowd getting a collective woody as Palin bent Obama and the Democrats over, shoved a leather gag in their mouths and flogged them as un-American wimps, appeasers and losers. "Drill, baby, drill!" the chant ecstatically repeated by the GOP faithful during Rudy Giuliani's speech, acquired a distinctly Freudian subtext after Palin spoke. The more Palin drilled the Democrats, the more hotly the base yearned to drill her." No, I could not practically feel the crowd getting a collective woody, nor do I think her "doability" will/should affect the outcome of this race. Further, your exorbitant attention to her "rack" and other parts of her body only fuel the current misogynistic attitude of our culture, further validating rape!!! You make me sick!
