I was just a little kid back in the 60s. I’m more of a Watergate/Ford/Carter kid.

Beth, real feminists get pissed about insults to women — all women — as women. I suggest you take a look at the “Sexism Watch posts over at Shakesville. Sure, you’ll find more for Clinton than for Palin, but only because Palin was involved in the campaign for so much shorter a time.

‘Coma, while I miss the passion of the ’60s, I don’t miss the gender expectations. It was “girls say yes to boys who say no” or “only hairy-legged lesbians care about those things” with no space in between.

“They know the romance of the politics that suits them, and what they want to believe, but they don’t know that both of us have been fighting a long time for what we believe in.”

oh man, that’s a great line. That sums up exactly what I was trying to get across on the phone last night to a friend about politics. (Although I’m not of your generation or Bob’s, I’ve followed politics as long as I can remember and didn’t just jump on the political bandwagon when P. Diddy declared “Vote or Die” and giving a shit about ones country became the “cool thing to do”.

As for the speechwriter, he did something stupid. And it’s stupider than most because this isn’t new. Tons of people have been busted for inappropriate photos on the internet – he can’t say “oh, I didn’t know” — duh, dude.

Here’s what bugs me though, I wonder how many people would be up in arms about this had the cardboard cut-out been of Sarah Palin. I mean, she took a lot of lumps from not only Democrats but some Republicans as well. And I didn’t see as many people as I should have stand up for her and cry foul. Sure, if a person doesn’t agree with her politics, that’s cool. But to tear her down and call her names when at the heart of it is because she’s a woman, that’s a bunch of b.s. too.

This fella should have stuck to making movies with Vince Vaughn. Thanks for the link, and I am proud. And don’t worry, when you fall off the “leave-me-alone” wagon I’ll be there to help get you back on.

Well, maybe I won’t–falling off the wagon is your problem, not mine. LOL!
