I know why liberal gals hate Palin
It’s the shoes.
Apparently the announcement shoes are Naughty Monkey Double Dares. Sorry, boys, but they’ve sold out in red since the announcement! There’s some controversy about the debate models, but they might be by Payless.

Shoes? Seriously? I’ve been wearing higher and sexier heels than that for years. So. Um. No.
And we “liberal gals” don’t hate Palin, we’re embarrassed for her. She’s become a huge national joke (except for her fans on the radical right). She’s a complete throw-back to a 1950s woman–uses her sexual charms (wink wink) to cover up her intellectual deficits.
For those who love style with no substance, she’s definitely a winner. For people who like their candidates to know what the hell they’re talking about and to be able to express it in American English, we find her appalling.
She’s all yours, in all her winky-dinky, cheerleading, beauty queen vapidity.
You betcha!

Now Shaw, while I’m sure you look good in heels, you really need to get some help with your Sarah Palin obsession.
The last seven posts ( I only checked the first page ) of your blog are about Sarahcuda. I admit that I’m dazzled by her charm and her style. And also by her success in the political arena.
But the first step for you is to admit you’re powerless over your feelings for her. Then you can begin to heal, and the seas will stop rising, and we can change for hope.
No Naughty Monkey Double Dares for you until you do.

Gordon,
There you go again. Here’s what’s happening:
McCain has dropped precipitously in the polls.
Doggone it, Obama’s lead is in double digits in Virginia, and 6 up in North Carolina–and Missouri and Florida are toss-ups. New Hampshire and its large independent voter bloc (and which always loved McCain) has gone for Obama–he’s up 10 in that state.
Ms. Palin has done nothing for John McCain–she hasn’t helped him one bit, and may have actually hurt him.
Women don’t like to be played for fools. He thought that by attaching Palin to the ticket, it would not only be mavericky, but Palin would get independents and the Hillary PUMAs. (I’m sure Rove told him the base would adore her.)
If McCain wanted a woman on the ticket, there are other Republican politicians far more intelligent and qualified. Instead, he went for smoke and mirrors and the mooseburgers made by a pitbull with lipstick.
It got him nothing.
The far right, my friend, is the only demographic that loves her, and you can’t win an election with just Rush Limbaugh listeners.
McCain’s “Country First” is a fraudulent slogan. McCain was hoping to dazzle the electorate with Palin, instead a majority of us were horrified that he’d place this unqualified, sloganeering, incurious, confused woman in such an important position.
Yes, I’ve posted a lot about her, just as I would post a lot about a train wreck if I had to have the misfortune to witness one.
Wink. Wink.

Shaw,
Why are you trying to convince me? Or the readers of your blog, whom I’m pretty sure agree with you 90+ percent of the time?
If Sarah Palin is the disaster you claim, you should be celebrating. The Chosen One’s anointment is thus assured! We can have a big service in Washington to honor his ascension, and we can all sing hosbamas and make the O sign to each other as we chant.
Or could it be that the woman feminists have been wanting all along–successful in business, took on the boy’s club and won, great husband, nice family–is here, but horror of horrors, she’s a Rethuglican! She Must Be Not Only Defeated, But Destroyed So Thoroughly That No Woman Who Does Not Follow Our Dictates Will Ever Dare Raise Her Head!
Or, it could be, you know, the shoes.

Shaw,
Now this is funny.
It’s funny on more levels than you might have thought about, too.
