As McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for vice president continues to be engulfed in controversy, new questions have been raised about her fitness for office. “The fact that Sarah Palin has just given birth, shows that she is still menstruating,” explained noted feminist author Nola Wright. “Because of that, once of month she will suffer cramping, mood swings, and adopt a temperament that may be unsuitable for public office.” “There’s indeed a reason for concern, “ said Dr. Karen Karlson of Seattle, Washington. “’That Time of the Month’ is a difficult time for many women and I would expect it to be no different for Mrs. Palin”.
“I know I have problem functioning adequately “ said a female CEO of a noted software company. “And I can’t imagine risking the fate of the country ever few days of month when we don’t have to.” The issue has galvanized many of Hillary Clinton’s supporters who now say they will support Barack Obama. “We just can’t take the risk, “ explained one supporter. “We have to put the safety and security of our country first.”
The issue has reminded many of McGovern’s problem with his VP choice of Thomas Eagleton in 1972. When news had surfaced that Eagleton was taking shock treatments for a mental imbalance, Eagleton was forced from the ticket. “McCain is now confronting that same choice, “ pointed out a noted political strategist. “In many ways the Palin situation is worse. Eagleton’s condition was treatable, but there is no treatment for the aches, bloating, and temperment problems that Sarah Palin suffers from on a monthly basis. While there are drugs and medications that Palin can take to ease her condition, it’s not a cure. “I also worry about drugs possibly being addicting, “ noted Dr. Karlson.
“I think this calls into question McCain’s judgement as well”, pointed out political columnist Maureen Taylor. “Did they properly vet Palin before picking her? Did they understand that for several days per month she is physically incapable of occupying any position of authority? These are answers that the McCain campaign owes the American people.”
Palin’s defenders point out that she is 44 and is moving out of her child-bearing years, but others still profess their doubts. “She may be moving out of her child-bearing years, but she is also moving into menopause, “ replied Dr. Karlson, “and for many women menopause is more debilitating than PMS. I think concerns have to be raised about her fitness for high office for many years to come.”
Is this a joke?
C’mon....this is really satire, isn’t it...you can’t tell me some dweeb really put that in writing and really means it?

I guess this answers the question of just how desperate the Looney Left has become.
Looks to be. Don’t pay any attention.
Where is the link?

They are really just voicing this ludicrous talking point because (1) she is not a feminist of their mold and (2) she is a Conservative.
That is pretty good satire right there, I don’t care who you are.
I assume it’s a joke... As for the “cramping, mood swings, and ... temperament that may be unsuitable for public office,” that never slowed down Joe Biden.
I’m getting a little tired of these sarcastic vanities, but I must admit, this one was pretty good.
PING!
What this tells us is that they have finally run out of HIT pieces on Gov. Palin!

Ok, I think this post should be removed from FR.
You got a link “Packer?”
must be from the Onion.
You can call the left many things but smart is not one of them
Parody or scarcasm I assume. Otherwise, you better watch out I have a scapel and your life may be in my hands at certain ties of the month. Plus men always have a hormone problem. Think Edwards and Clinton. Some can control it and others can not. Pot meet Kettle.
