Noooo, I Can't Relate


Yes, I am a woman, but no, I don't relate to Sarah Palin.
First off, I have never caressed a fish in quite this fashion.
I have never killed my own dinner.
I did not get knocked up when I was 43 and my daughter was not impregnated when she was 17.
I believe a woman is entitled to decide whether or not she bears children, and so far, the laws of the U.S. agree with me.
I was never in a beauty contest.
I don't know how to shoot a gun, nor have I ever used one.
My mother-in-law likes me.
I never tried to get my brother-in-law fired from any position.
I did not give my kids strange names.
I never built anything to "nowhere."
I don't think God is responsible for deploying our soldiers to Iraq.
Oh, I could go on, but I won't.

You're wise to note the differences. Many are being swept away in the emotions of this moment of history. Let's face it, day in day out, people are looking to be fooled.

The truly scary part is that wherein there was a strong tendency from all interested parties to not delve into the family situation of Palin, this has now generalized into the Republicans chastising the press for asking any questions at all of Palin's credentials.

Meet the new Sasquatch. Attacking this monster only makes her stronger. A heartbeat away from the presidency she makes Bush seem noble.
