Sarah Palin no Hillary Clinton (Barf Alert)

The first time I can remember feeling personally insulted by a political commentator was back in 1988. It was the Republican Convention and they named George H.W. Bush their nominee for president. He chose the little-known Dan Quayle as his running mate and some wonk commentator said that Bush could then count on the women’s vote because he had selected such a handsome man to run for vice president.

What a condescending and ignorant comment! I couldn’t believe that this guy thought women were so stupid, superficial and shallow. He dismissed women as critical thinkers and implied that women don’t worry about the economy, foreign affairs, health care, education, or justice. The TV anchor indicted women as easily swayed by unimportant physical features.

In Lisey’s Story, written by that bum from Maine, the one poking around in the trash barrel for returnables, one of the women characters explains to her sister why she has a gun. I imagine the Pat LaMarsh doesn’t own a single gun, either.
In fiction, most bad guys would see an early demise if only the hero strapped it on whenever it was necessary.

Pat DaMarsh, “Gov. Palin has a uterus and she’s not afraid to use it.”

This is what passes for commentary these days. I’ve spent a moment or two over at that other place, democratic underground, and they seem to have more videos and pictures posted and the dialogue is laced with a lot of smucking. That said, I enjoyed the front page of a magazine I saw in the grocery store, Sarah Palin with a shsotgun broke open over her shoulder.

So here we have a VP candidate who’s not only a women, but a woman who uses guns. Somewhere in the recesses of the minds of folk like Pat ReMARSH...maybe that’s wrong...maybe they simply have no mind and their apparent tunnel vision on matters uteric, their blind fascination with ending life at the point where it begins, maybe that explains their willingness to ignore that their apparent hero and his party have no problem at all with inhibiting and infringing on the right of all sexes, fair and uncouth, to keep and bear arms.

At least this time around, when a candidate poses with a shotgun, Elmer Fudd won’t come to mind.

“I hate Palin. She can suck it.”

“Sarah Palin makes me sick.”

Sarandon promises to move to Canada if... (Hope she takes her wife Tim.)

I had to dodge sniper fire in Tusla.

“I couldn’t believe that this guy thought women were so stupid, superficial and shallow.”

Not women, just liberal women.

No. For starters, if Todd Palin even once attempted to treat Sarah Palin with the disrespect that Bill Clinton has treated Hillary Clinton, Sarah would draw and quarter him and then kick him to the curb. I forgot, though, Governor Sarah Palin didn’t have to ride Todd Palin’s coattails to the Mayor’s Office of Wasilla, Alaska or to the Governorship of Alaska.

So, Pat, I feel like I know Governor Palin, I feel like Governor Palin is a friend of mine, and, thank the Lord, Governor Sarah Heath Palin is no Slick Willie Coattail Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
