It irritates the hell out of me that the only female (vice) presidential candidate we've had in decades is a total fucking moron. McCain really shot himself in the foot (a Republican trait, it seems) when he pulled that one on board. I know he was trying to gain the female vote, but really? It's insulting to think women will vote for a woman just because she's a woman. We're woman, not idiots. Well, some of us. Political party aside, she has really set the feminist movement back with her obvious ass-backward ways. I certainly don't tell my 12 year old daughter 'Now here is what you should aspire to!'

I JUST said that to someone earlier today, then realized she's just not smart enough to fill those shoes....

I don't have enough words or time to express my disgust at her rise to fame, the mindless embracing of her as a prophet of the conservative windbags by the uneducated or unthinking masses. She makes me ashamed of my country, and afraid for the setback she poses to women and progress in this country. A vapid, narrowminded beauty queen rises to political prominence by winking, slinging cliched empty phrases and barbs at the President - it's the worst possible thing my liberal, hippy, feminist mind can imagine.
I knew my country was becoming complacent, lazy and uneducated, but she puts the frosting on that sad cake. She is opportunistic, greedy and dangerous, because she is buying into her own bullshit and doesn't even know or care how truly ignorant she is about this world. Oh, you should not get me started....

2010-02-07T16:20:38.611-05:00

It's hypocrisy, Ms. Moon. The people who adore her are a bunch of hypocrites themselves. She's taking a stand for them and giving them a voice. Sadly, the world is overrun by such people.

Amen, Sister.

2010-02-07T15:26:43.936-05:00

Amen, Sister.

It defies logic.

2010-02-07T14:59:15.782-05:00

It defies logic.

2010-02-07T13:28:38.402-05:00

Yes, SP and her confreres, the blowhard, right wingnut TV and radio idjuts, are Scare-eee. The people that listen to and laugh with them are willfully ignorant and such ignorance is a seed bed for fascism, that is the scariest part.

2010-02-07T10:57:52.692-05:00

The thing which scares me the most about her is how she's survived so much shit- her teenaged daughter's unwed pregnancy, her obvious lack of any knowledge at all- unscathed and still adored.
Yes. I am thinking of Bush.
Yes. I am scared.

2010-02-07T09:30:58.157-05:00

She makes me feel even more confident in my beliefs. I mean, seriously? This is logical thinking. I can't stand her.

2010-02-07T08:36:57.834-05:00

I have low grade anxiety everyday of my life because I KNOW the American people are lazy and are attracted to this vile stuff. My husband had the radio on yesterday & the host was asking about Palin and why this movement is getting so much notice. The callers confirmed by fear. Flat out nuts and dedicated to it.

2010-02-07T07:48:29.856-05:00

I can think of a lot worse names to go along with what you said. She is scary and I can't believe people are being stupid enough to pay attention to her, but then again these same people were sucked in by George W. Bush so it is scary!

2010-02-07T03:29:04.056-05:00

Amen to ALL the comments. Exasperating, maddening, frightening.

Don't you just want to shake them and say "For God's sake, people, don't let the FACTS get in the way of your BELIEFS!"

2010-02-07T00:17:46.136-05:00

She is seriously scary. I still see people with her SWAK stickers on their cars. They scare me, too.

2010-02-06T23:49:45.597-05:00

Ah Elizabeth, yes - Hannah Arendt wrote on the banality of evil (re: the Holocaust). (I was reminded of her when I recently changed my last name to her first husband's because I thought his linguistic logic brilliant.)

But the real comment I want to make is: Ms. Moon, I'm sorry. I am a woman in my 40's who was born and raised in Alaska, and I'm sorry. (Well, she wasn't born there, but still raised there.) I feel personally embarrassed every time she opens her stupid mouth.

I'm just exasperated with the ignorance. Really getting REALLY exasperated. I so want to believe that other people can have different views as me and I can fully respect them and their views and not have some smug superiority - but then she blows my respect like a caribou (which are SUPER tasty by the way - Mr. Moon should go hunting them!).

I just really, really want her to go away.

Amen. But I have bad fucking news, her new book ha...

2010-02-06T23:13:06.449-05:00

Amen.
But I have bad fucking news, her new book has like 500 hold on it at the library, and this is in tiny Rhode Island.

2010-02-06T22:57:43.183-05:00

I refuse to utter her name. She's mediocre and don't they say that evil is banality?

I do love John Waters.

2010-02-06T22:47:24.268-05:00

Since this is happening 40 miles from where I live, I'm trying my best to ignore her and all those wingnuts. One of my blog trolls is a teabagger. I love to fantasize about all those people actually getting teabagged. Funny they chose to call themselves that. I learned the other meaning of it when I saw John Waters on Craig Ferguson's show.

2010-02-06T22:47:15.528-05:00

Allegra- Oh Lord. I hope so.

SJ- Just caught part of it online. That was enough.

Joy- That's what I'm wondering.

2010-02-06T22:45:25.280-05:00

It's all so pathetically sad and scary. What have we come to in this country?

2010-02-06T22:13:41.633-05:00

Holy shit--were you watching that speech too? I got sucked in and thought she looked absolutely deranged. What a sad, sad woman. And even sadder still that so many actually think she's worth a damn.

You are giving her too much credit, love.

2010-02-06T22:06:09.038-05:00

You are giving her too much credit, love.
