The looking up her skirt photos

Described here
Meanwhile, Reuters ran some pictures of Palin that truly are tasteless and deserve more attention than the volumes of blogosphere venom spewed on the Newsweek cover. Taken through Palin's legs and from behind her, they make it appear that male members of the audience are peering right up her skirt. Now that's deserving of conservative alarm.

Is it really sexist to raise the point that Sarah Palin is inexperienced and would rather talk about nothing-in-particular that any real issues or solutions?

You can't use sexism as a big stick to beat somebody down for noticing that your candidate doesn't have what it takes. Hillary Clinton would have made a fine president. Sarah Palin would not. It's not about gender, it's about being a lightweight. It also speaks volumes about the judgement of John McCalin and the GOP. When I think of all the talented women in politics would would surely have been worthy of a vote, Sarah Palin does not come to mind. Let's call it what it is. She doesn't have what it takes.

Perhaps those who claim sexism every time somebody notices that Sarah Palin is unqualified are being sexists themselves. She's making a mockery of the political process by dodging issues and uttering canned responses that would certainly be enough to subject a man to ridicule. Why should she be immune to accountability?

If you send a woman into an operating room to do surgery and somebody complains that the person never attended medical school, it's not sexist and it's ignorant to play that card when you know your argument doesn't hold water.

Why do people persist in assigning Presidential duties to the VP candidate? One commentor said Hillary would make a good President, Sarah would not. She is not running for President. Is this the rationale for saying a Governor is not qualified to be a VP? Clinton had 11 years as a Governor and became President, but then he was a man of course.

Interesting blog.

You seem to have turned the anonymi out in force with this post.

So I wonder...
Is it racist to raise the point that Barack Obama has less executive experience than Sarah Palin and no more real foreign policy experience and would rather ramble on in high-flown ambiguities than take issues head-on?

Who's really wielding the big stick here?

Dear Moderator,

Is there any particular reason you've stopped updating this blog? I miss reading about all the instances of sexism out there.

Have you given up on Sarah Palin? Have you become disillusioned with her?

Hope all's well.

gee so anytime any one in the media doesn't like something palin says or does then it must be due to sexism> can't some people just dislike her ways without it being called sexism.

you give feminism a bad name by calling wolf too many times...when there's not a wolf. now when the wolf comes, no one will listen to you.

tsk tsk.

i am doing a project on sexism in the media and sarah palin. yes i saw the photo but have you not heard some of palins own comments about her wearing high heels. something to the effect of the gloves and high heels are on. palin has called attention to her own high heels. the sexism that hillary clinton has gone through over the years, now that is something to talk about. attention has been called to her sexuality, if she is frigid or not, and if she had performed oral sex at home then maybe ... palin has proven herself to not be the best canidate, to not have the skills, experience, or power to be a heart beat away from the presidency. that is not a sexist media smearing her that is palins own admissions and mess ups. she does not belong in a position with such power, not now, and not ever. i am a feminist and this is what gives feminism a bad name calling out sexism at every turn.

Barack Obama is the most inexperienced presidential candidate on a national party's ticket. He's not ready.

CT Bob said...

Oh well, I guess this is it for the SPSW blog. I'm truly gonna miss it.

After Tuesday, even though we'll probably have Sarah to kick around for quite a while, she isn't going to last forever. I can tell that she'll be active in the ultra-conservative far-right wing until it finally collapses completely. And then, of course, iIt'll be nice to have a majority of moderate Republicans running the GOP for a change.

Until then though, have a great election day! It's gonna be a day to make history!

Thank God it's over. As one late night host said, "Sarah Palin has been tagged and returned to the wild."

I think one of the more thought provoking posts here unintentionally made a point. Goesh seemed bewildered by the fact that people would "persist in assigning presidential duties to the VP candidate." Hello? If McCain had died in office, PALIN WOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT! Do you keep empty fire extinguishers around because you're supposed to have them but probably won't need them?
It's also about Palin's smug and insulting behavior when asked to respond to real questions. Whining about "gotcha" journalism and rallying others who don't pay attention to get on the train to dreamland with her is absurd. By the way, since online posting lacks intonation, this is not anger you're reading. It's intended to be a thoughtful wakeup call from a fellow citizen who doesn't like to see others hoodwinked. There goes the "angry liberal" argument.
It would seem that Palin thinks the American public is gullible enough to accept a "we'll talk about what we'll do after we're elected" response. That's the same reasoning that turned Joe The Plumber into a pathetic stooge who criticizes things he doesn't know about. He would have found himself kneeling down to be a foot rest for all of the people he thought were working for him. I don't know if Joe reads the paper or goes to the library or studies issues that he thinks are relevant to him. I sure hope that he does. If anything, Obama's election will be good for Joe, whether he ever realizes that or not.
As for Sarah Palin, she tried to BS the country with themes rather than substance, hats and signs rather than a platform and innuendo rather than intelligent discourse. The idiotic "palling around with terrorists" remark and her pandering to people who don't want to cloud their minds with issues were also disturbing to watch. The campaign used her like a Kleenex. She said some of the more absurd things that the campaign wanted to spread and McCain preferred not to say, realized that she was only part of a larger failure and then threw her under the bus just like they would have done to most of the American people.
The reason I posted on this blog is because somebody told me about it as a "curiosity" rather than a beacon of inspiration. So, being part of the "anonymi" as someone noted is not for lack of willingness to be open about my thoughts, but really more about making a decision that it wasn't worth the time to register. Think of it as someone stopping on the street to tell you that your shoelace is untied. However, if three people are shouting by themselves on a street corner, it's not always "courageous" to join them. It might just be a waste of time and a cue to go find a platform where you can shout and be heard. Take what you've expressed here, do your homework, and work to change the world for the better. Even if I don't agree with you, I'll respect that you're trying to get involved in the world and know WHY you're doing it. Have a good life by making it good.

No one cares that you don't like, understand or respect Governor Sarah Palin. 65% of Republicans and 35% Democrats who are supporters of Governor Palin see it differenty. You can stop foaming at the mouth now. The election is over.

Thank you for your efforts. Palin/Jindal or Palin/Steele in 2012! Just imagine.

Of course Palin knew Africa is a continent, just like most 9th graders. She discussed all the individual conflicts going on in various African countries too.

Sarah’s one tough Mama, she handled the wackos like a pro. These liars must be exposed! We want names! McCain made a lot more mistakes than Palin. He let her go in front of ‘Gotcha!’ idiots and twits like Gibson and Couric, I think McCain never went on Fox, the most watched News Channel with loads of independents and conservative Democrats. The votes that McCain needed, instead he spent time on CNN. He didn’t bring up Wright at all, he didn’t hammer the Dems enough for their leading role in creating the credit crisis.

His advisors were wimps; either they didn’t give him good advice and/or they couldn’t sway him from his bad ideas. They must be bitter for screwing up the campaign and so they just blame the woman.

I‘m already getting excited about a Palin/Jindal ticket in 2012 or 2016. Michael Steele? Imagine, the GOP getting in the first Woman POTUS with a male minority VP. The Loonie Left-wing Nuts will not be able hide their overt racism and sexism towards any minorities or women that dare to not be so-called 'progressives'.

So many people that voted for Obama didn't even know what his issues were and they disagreed with him about Iraq and abortion, but didn't even know that they did. All they heard was 'change', and that was all they wanted to hear.

However, any real conservatives will never be so insane as to call Obama worse than Hitler (and certainly not McChimpy), or will we side with terrorists, dictators and 'enemy' countries over OUR President.

Conservatives must try to influence the President with sensible debate and persuasion. The main reason the Left is so vicious is because the so-called 'Progressive' ideology is bankrupt at its core, and deep, deep, deep down where logic and rational thoughts dwell, I think they know it.

I want to believe that Obama won't be as bad as some people think, but I'm quite sure, that at best, he won't be as good as most people hope he will be.

I wish the following site had come out earlier, I had some Obamabot friends finding out that they had big differences with Obama's positions:
http://www.barackobamatest.com/

Years ago I was knocked off the voting rolls here in this very Blue City when I was a Republican, on this election day I found out I was knocked off as an Un-Affiliated. Next time I should register as a Democrat, maybe I won't get knocked off then.

The biggest dangers come from the Left anyway, so my votes in this Blue State's closed primaries would be more important there.

Telling Moonbats I'm a Democrat would stop some in their tracks too, maybe making it easier to chip away at the false veneer of so-called 'progressivism'.

Let's hope he does well, at least not too badly, with the least amount of despair possible. May God Bless and help guide President Obama. And may God Bless and help save America! Keep the faith!

I have absolutely no problem with a woman running our country,but not Sarah Palin.She came off like an idiot to the press.How do you think she'd come off to foreign leaders?I'm an independant,and was willing to give McCain a listen because I respect his service to the country.But as he tried on one hand to distance himself from Bush,he backed a lot of Bushes policies.Ones that I don't support.It was obvious that he chose Palin because he thought she'd automatically get the "Hillary" vote.Like women are just gonna jump on the band wagon because she's a woman.To get another Republican in office this time the candidate would have had to be almost in the dead center.Palin is just too right wing for most people.I believe in separation of church and state.This country is not ALL white Protestants ok?We're a melting pot and freedom of religion is what started the colonies!Peoples' religion I believe should be a PERSONAL thing and GOD should not be brought up in political rallys,or press conferences.I'm sick of the Christian right shoving they're morality down my throat.I MAY have voted for Hillary,because I have no problem with a woman in office.Whether you like her politics or not, Hillary actually is a very intelligent,educated woman who has lots of experience!On the other hand,Palins state college bullshit journalism degree(who can't even name a single publication she reads by the way),and experience governing a state with the approximate population of Fresno Ca. is not exactly the same is it.So get off the sexism nonsense.I'm sorry she's attractive ok?I think she does have appeal but would be better suited as an entertainment talk show host.I'm not saying she's stupid,just not someone who should EVER be considered to run our country!I have many Republican friends who will probably be angry with me for writing this,but that's the beauty of our country.We can just agree to disagree.And whether you voted for him or not,Barrack Obama IS our leader and we should all hope that he succeeds.To hope he fails is to hope that country sinks lower into depression.MK
