Feminism in the age of Sarah Palin

[Q Classic]

True. The reason she's on there might not be so much that she's a woman, but she's a woman and has views which solidify McCain's wobbly, Christian Fundamentalist Zealot base.

Y'know, the ones who would love to set up a Republic of Gilead.

I kid, of course. There's no way she'd be an (in)effective enough leader to ever cause that plan to come to fruition.

If she were intelligent it wouldn't be a big deal if she were flirty.

Be honest, why else would McCain pick such an unqualified running mate when he had plenty of other options?

Jealous much?

I have nothing to be jealous about, I'm just voicing what millions of women are thinking.

Because Olympia Snowe, so far as I understand it, is Pro-Choice.

Not something that would completely solidify the Christianist base.

Actually, I'm kind of mystified that people think she's "hot", too. I've seen blow-up dolls that seem less vapid.

She is a darling of the evangelical right. They absolutely love her. And McCain had/has problems attracting them. And she draws the crowds.

Dude... Palin is HOT. Especially for a 44 year old woman.

You don't think her face is a bit too pinched?

As for the sex appeal thing... I dunno that a hetero woman really has much insight there, Cartimandua. I often wonder WTF woman are thinking when they seem to find a particular guy attractive (Bill Clinton, for instance. What. The. Hell???).

[Q Classic]

Arrian has a point. Then again, I don't understand how straight men often find certain women attractive (Paula Jones? Sarah Palin? Ann Coulter? Dubya Tee Eph?)

[Arrian]

Nobody finds Ann Coulter attractive. Inconceivable!

You must be sooo desperate!

If Palin played Civ and EU2, THEN she'd be hot.

Right now, she's not even hot in that mavericky kind of way.

(she's not a troll, but hot?)

Handmaid's Tale is more frightening than ever.

Sarah Palin is definitely an "Aunt".

Dude, you are sooo off base here. There is a reason that Palin's positives are much higher among men. And Hell, she was second in a state Beauty Pageant.

[Jon Miller]

I don't thik Palin is Hot hot. But she is hot for US politics, where we are use to old ugly white men. I mean, even in europe she wouldn't be all that hot.

Also, for someone 40+ she is hot.

True. It seems that men tend to want to stick their pecker into anything with a pulse~

It's too bad being a runner-up in a state beauty pageant confers little to no expertise in running a country.
