As a woman, I cannot tell you how incredibly sick and tired I am of hearing Palin referred to as a “Barbie” doll. I know it doesn’t happen EVER on the liberal side, but it is possible for a woman to be attractive and intelligent. It’s ridiculous that she is criticized for being attractive.
She did a lot more for Alaska than wearing “frilly blouses”, unless “frilly blouses” is a code word for laying the groundwork for a major pipeline to be constructed (which is the largest infrastructure project in North America), and reducing state spending by $445 million; both of which I consider pretty major.
She’s not perfect, and she’s not President Reagan reincarnated. She’s also not some dumb bimbo just because her pedigree isn’t Ivy League and her family doesn’t bow at the alter of the Beltway elite.
Besides, in all honesty, I find it difficult to believe that Governor Palin could possible say anything dumber than any number of things Joe Biden has said, despite having the properly approved pedigree.

Excellent post, and I could not agree more!
