That's not funny

I am no fan of Governor Palin, but I am also not happy about jokes at her expense that are based on her sex or her sexual attractiveness. I think such jokes are going to set back the cause of electing women to political offices.

Fortunately, that plan has backfired, much to the credit of the intelligence of the women who supported Hillary.


I've also heard that Palin has her eye on the 2012 election, and so does Hillary (or maybe she's looking ahead 8 years).

anyway, wouldn't it be grand to elect Hillary when she runs against Palin? on the other hand, I don't want Palin to get that close again.

I sincerely hope Palin doesn't get anywhere in the vicinity of running for that kind of office again. Unfortunately, she strikes me as not remotely attentive enough to clues the outside world is providing about her incompetence at this level. (And that's certainly not intended to be sexist - she reminds me very much of a male former friend who also had plans of running for public office, and I thought "the real political operators are going to eat you for breakfast, mate", but didn't say it, because I don't think he'd remotely understand what I meant.)
