Cheers to Gary Kamiya for one of the most entertaining analyses of the Palin phenomenon yet! I never thought of her as a Domme, but it is plausible. To me she is more the girl jock.
Partisan background noise aside, I might point out two things: 1) The BDSM crowd is spread pretty evenly throughout the US; it just surfaces in New York and San Francisco. 2) "Dominant" is really a misnomer. The dominant in such a relationship generally serves the submissive by bringing him/her to a higher state of thrill via the spanking or bondage or what have you.
Finally, the artist who attached the corsetted body to Palin's head deserves a thank you note from the lady. After five kids, I doubt that she'll ever have a waist that tiny again.
