Gosh, I would never have guessed reading her article or seeing her picture.......
Seattle PI-angry, unmarried old NARALists, and girly-man manicure types. Pay them no mind..
Egads. We’ve found our new Helen Thomas
The American electorate is allowed to vote for Sarah Palin, if it so wishes, but not Hillary Clinton: patriarchy still rules OK.
Patriarch still rules all right. In the liberal, socialist Democrat Party.
She acts like it is somehow Republicans that are not "allowing" Americans to vote for Hillary. Ironically, had it not been for her liberal brethren in the press anointing BO early on, Hillary probably would be the nominee.
The liberal press and the Democratic party insiders screwed Hillary. And I admit there is a certain pleasurable aspect of former Clinton sycophants shafting her.
This piece is so bad that I’m almost embarrassed for the poor woman who wrote it.
Feminists really have a problem with a young woman of traditional values who is comfortable in her own skin. After all their years hard work trying to enlighten and liberate women, here comes poor Sarah, another stooge of the patriarchy, and she doesn’t even know any better. I found it interesting that she had to go all the back to Phyllis Schlafly and even Anita Bryant to find someone to liken Sarah Palin to. If the writer would step out of her feminist ghetto, she might find others.
If she’s so upset that Hillary Clinton isn’t on the ticket, that’s not exactly the fault of the GOP, is it?
Just another envious jealous female of the left extending her claws. Means nothing.
1) one .308 bolt-action rifle, with telescopic sight
2) one moose, any size
3) skinning knife
4) meat grinder
5) large gas grill
6) buns and condiments of your choice
What is BHO towing with his bike? Looks like one of those kid tow attachments?
Was the photo cropped because he’s dragging one of his kids through downtown traffic?
Unless she’s got the hots for Sarah’s husband, it’s envy. And for good reason if the picture is at all representative of this honey.
Amen! But no one is even investigating..
Hadn't heard that but it makes sense. He's the one who claims to have found the fountain of youth and yet Sarah makes him look like an old fuddy-duddy.
Yes, if only Obama's mother had been enlightened, then we wouldn't be having to contend with the "One" now.
In the meantime, it speaks volumes that the only woman in this crucial presidential contest is the beneficiary of patronage, handpicked rather than elected, and the holder of startlingly reactionary views.The American electorate is allowed to vote for Sarah Palin, if it so wishes, but not Hillary Clinton: patriarchy still rules OK.
If anything Palin has earned he position more authentically then Clinton ever did. What about Geraldine Ferraro? More patronage? The left is twisting in knots on this one.
That sentence has my vote the silliest line of this ridiculous screed.
Governor Palin has won more elections than, say, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Governor Palin won all of them entirely on her own merits, and not because she has a politically prominent husband like Senator Clinton.
Joan Smith (novelist and journalist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joan Alison Smith (born August 27, 1953 in London) is an English novelist, journalist and human rights activist, who is a former chair of the Writers in Prison committee in the English section of International PEN.
Smith read Latin at the University of Reading in the early 1970s. After a spell as a journalist in local radio in Manchester, she joined the staff of the Sunday Times in 1979 and stayed at the newspaper until 1984, although Smith still contributes book reviews to the publication. She has had a regular column in the Guardian Weekend supplement, also freelancing for the newspaper and in recent years has contributed to The Independent, the Independent on Sunday, and the New Statesman.
In her non-fiction Smith displays a commitment to atheism, feminism and republicanism; she has traveled extensively and this is reflected in her articles. Smith has taken a strong anti-Iraq war stance. Unlike many on the left, she is scornful of popular culture and once gave away her television set to a close friend, although she acquired a new set a decade later. Also a critic of conventional morality, she uses the term ‘child free’ to avoid the pejorative connotations of the word ‘childless’.
Outside the UK, Smith is probably best known for the Loretta Lawson series of crime novels. What Will Survive (2007) is a novel set in Lebanon in 1997 concerning a journalist’s investigation into the death of a model and anti-landmine campaigner.
In 2003 she was offered the MBE for her services to PEN, but refused the award. Joan Smith is a supporter of Republic and an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society.
Joan Smith is currently romantically involved with Denis MacShane, a politician in the United Kingdom.[citation needed]
I guess Ms. Smith hasn’t realized that if it wasn’t for frontier women who exhibited similar characteristics as Sarah Palin, the West, and the State of Washington wouldn’t exist as it does today.
Well, if I want to be smart like them, I better start hating Sarah Palin, too!
Funny thing is, all of those "smarter commentators" really look like they have been making asses of themselves over the past few days. They must be displaying some superior form of intellect that I, being a bear of small brain, just cannot understand.
