while riding the coattails of the ascendent "charm(!?)" ascribed to gov palin, you, campbell brown and others in the media wave the banner and repeat the soundbite "sexist." this, in grumbling response, to the GOP's hands-off palin policy. one the media shouts is sexist.
that charge of sexist is a liability, diminishing all of us. oh, and while access to palin has all but dissolved, the media and you,too,dahlia, ramp up the sexist sloganeering. tell it like it is. pointblank in-your-face reporting. palin is oblivious, vapid, unschooled, woefully inexperienced and lacking the smarts to be veep-select. let alone-SHUDDER!- one who might even holds the reins of power. what does this have to do with her GENDER!? nothing, nada. it's become a media pressure cooker. quit all the smary, sexist, sweetlings, your instructions to biden on how to talk to "a girl." VOMIT HERE!
try to dissociate the fact from form. she's supposed to be a politician. treat her as one. enough about the glasses, hairdo, gams and shoes. she may have taken her kids to hockey practice a few times but doesn't make her the iconic "lockey mom."
she's been governor of a state with 650,000 for 2-1/2 yrs. before that the mayor of town of 6-9,000 for six yrs. let's judge her on the merits and demerits of her performances in these jobs. stop with vetting her "looks" "appearance" "attractiveness" and concetrate on the nitty gritty. by accepting the nomination, palin asked for IT. scrutinize her. let her have it. to treat her with kid gloves is unacceptable. and sexist.
