You are correct that speaking negatively about this woman is not sexist. However, the sexist angle will be played for all its worth. Thats a given.</P> <P>Many consider her photogenic and perky. Unfortunantly this is all millions of people require in their approval of a candidate. She would be a disaster for the presidential ticket in 2012, however I would wager money she will be a prolifigate fund raiser for her party and then be rewarded with an uncontested nomination for her party's bid for an Alaska Senate seat, which in Alaska is almost a sure win.</P>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2960253.aspxFri, 03 Jul 2009 21:02:24 GMT8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2960253HeWhoMustDie1http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2960253.aspxhttp://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=3945&PostID=2960253<P>Did the press ridicule Dick Nixon for his "You won't have Nixon to kick around any more" speech?</P> <P>Of course they did.</P> <P>So let's get something straight right up front.</P> <P>It will not be sexist of the press to ridicule Sarah Palin for her swan song.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
