After all, there are so very, very many LEGITIMATE reasons to hate her:<BR/><BR/>* Abstinence only education<BR/>* Anti-choice<BR/>* Repeated baldfaced lies about being against the bridge to nowhere<BR/>* Library censorship<BR/>* Draconian efforts to fire people who oppose her<BR/>* Believing that the pledge of allegiance was "good enough for the founding fathers"<BR/>* Secessionist<BR/>* Creationist<BR/>* YOUNG EARTH creationist<BR/><BR/>I've probably missed a few. With all these perfectly good things to ridicule, there's no point in worrying about her personal life, or that damn annoying accent of hers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324968314168283095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-37320312037995076322008-09-11T11:16:00.000-05:002008-09-11T11:16:00.000-05:00So, my mom called me yesterday.

We normally share the latest and greatest outrageousness from the election (she leans towards McCain, and I'm trying my darnedest to convince her otherwise) and she "Did you hear what Obama did?" (regarding HIS lipstick comment) I was so angry that I exploded in her face and explained the whole story (which she apparently didn't have other than Obama called Palin a pig) I ended up having to apologize and then got mad at myself.<BR/><BR/>I guess my point her is that Julia, I feel your pain.Kaleenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592417119719913439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-60387388053431554092008-09-11T10:32:00.000-05:002008-09-11T10:32:00.000-05:00I know you've been on a blogging break but I check...I know you've been on a blogging break but I checked in anyway specifically to say you would be the best, and don't take offense, casting to spoof Sarah Palin. I don't see her much cause I don't watch TV, but your speaking is similar. PLUS you have invested so much time at exploring what makes such a woman tick. You would be devastating. I think Lorne Michaels should be calling you immediately!

I keep hearing from the McCain campaign that they are under attack from the MSM, but I've seen nothing but avoidance and talk about strategy instead of proper reporting. So much of what is on right now is talking about what people are talking about, like the news has turned into some metareality. Nobody ever does any investigating anymore, they just ask for opinions. Are you similarly frustrated by the "reporting" by the main stream media during this political season?bugsouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647771957972729350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-76191944102417410042008-09-11T00:26:00.000-05:002008-09-11T00:26:00.000-05:00You sound like you're channeling Rebecca Traister ...You sound like you're channeling Rebecca Traister over at Salon: http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2008/09/11/zombie_feminism/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
