Is Sarah Palin a "muscular feminist," or simply a dumb jock?

Because Robert Lapham knows more about feminism than Camille Paglia.

Old article btw, written September 10. Hardly Fresh Intelligence.

On the same day that Camille Paglia contributed her usual insane drivel, which no one, and I mean no one should ever take seriously, Salon editor Joan Walsh went on t.v. to say that she, too "admired Palin's feminism."

The mass delusion is sickening and dangerous.

Palin is a "feminist" because she knows how to shoot semi-automatic weapons to hunt animals? Or because she is ruthlessly ambitious (although not even qualified to be head of the PTA.)?

Palin is a neocon, a member of gopac, a religious extremist, and a Creationist. As a pawn of the right-wing, who parrots everything Geroge W. Bush has ever said (verbatim, down to pronouncing the word "nu-cu-lar",) she is opposed to anything pro-woman other than using her phoney "sassy, feistiness"...i.e., repeatedly winking at her audience during the VP debates to attempt to garner votes for her running-mate.

If elected, she and McCain would try to overturn Roe v Wade, prevent pay increases for women, and, as Palin has done in her own state, decrease funding for special needs children, force rape victims to pay for their own rape kits, and "counsel women to choose life." Perhaps Palin would also urge McCain to promote the witchdoctor priest who performed an exorcism on her (casting out her "witches") to public office. Poor, middle and working-class people (disproportionately females) would become even more disenfranchised, with the rich becoming mega-rich. The cost of the human suffering? Incalculable.

But the feminist tag is merely a smokescreen.

She is an ultra-right right neocon, and their agenda is her agenda. Anyone who gets distracted by her bogus persona is just thinking with her little clit.

Just as Margaret Thatcher functioned as Ronald Reagan's lapdog (or...pitbull), so would Sarah Palin in a McCain/Palin administration.

There are several things about her I would like answered:

WHY did she go to six colleges in six years to obtain a BS degree? Was it that she was incapable of getting along with anyone, or did she constantly flunk out?

How could anyone with a journalism degree be so incapable of forming a literate English sentence?

Is someone who holds a journalism degree from a mediocre college qualified to possibly become president?

Will Palin's numerous scandals (Troopergate, collectinging her travel per diem while staying at home) be investigated? And if she is found guilty/culpable, will that affect her ability to hold public office?

Is it true that "Sarah and Todd accepted Bristol's pregnancy? Or did they, in fact, send her to live with her aunt during her pregnancy, and to attend a high school 25 miles away from her home?

Why is her oldest son deploying to Iraq? Is he avoiding a jail sentence for his repeated theft of public property which he would then use to buy Oxycontin?

Why can Sarah Palin not be interviewed by as many journalists as any other candidate? She should be compelled to be interviewed by newspaper reporters, and do all the requisite Sunday morning talk shows.

The double standard of simultaneously treating her like a delicate flower ("Biden can't be too aggressive with her!") and her describing herself as a "pitbull" (and certainly behaving like one) says it all...If she is a "feminist" she should be capable of holding her own against Big, Bad Katie Couric or ""Charlie, Charlie, Charlie" Gibson.

Two more questions:

Where is PETA?

Why is Angelina Jolie still "undecided"? Is she, contrary to her assertions, still influenced by her father,a McCain supporter? For her to be "undecided" equals a McCain endorsement.

Sarah Palin is just another crooked republican and she goes for the jugular vein , don't ever under estimate her . I think she would do anything to become vp . I hope they are watching her .
