    How would you feel if Hillary Clinton was depicted as wearing bondage leather and holding a riding crop?

    But that's the thing. Unlike Palin, Mrs. Clinton isn't a radical right-wing religious Darth Cheney wannabe with delusions of adequacy. And that makes all the difference.

    If it's any consolation, I've tended to think of Palin not as a pit bull with lipstick, and not as a wacky guest on Jerry Springer, and not as the Wicked Witch of the Far Northwest, but as a golden retriever who's been taught to bark on command and not make messes on the floor.

    Kind of makes you want to go to the pound for a dog and name it "Sarah", doesn't it?
