-- She showed up in front of John McCain campaign aides "wearing nothing but a towel."

If she were a man, instead of woman, this statement would never have been made. As such, I infer the "campaign aides" are male-chauvinists. Furthermore, as the "campaign aides" actually complained of being greeted at the door by a beautiful woman wearing little more than in a towel, I infer they are also completely gay. So, either they are homosexual sexist pigs, or more likely, they are working for the "Romney in 2012" camp and feel the need to take her down. It's insidious either way and representative of why this election (and perhaps the next) ends poorly.

I am not usually a big supporter of the so-called sexism charge, but it is quite clear that there is definitely a gender-based, double-standard being applied to Governor Palin.

It is not just related to this current cheap “scandal”, but is used in criticisms of her qualifications, intellect and even her speaking voice and vocal inflection.

You can see it even here on FR.

I was going to say the exact same thing. What kind of man complains about being greeted by a beautiful woman in a towel at the door? It's most men's fantasy, so I submit that these are not men if the story is even true.
