Unfit to stand so close to presidency (Dan Payne, Boston Globe)

[LeighAnn]

~*snip*~

*Sarah Palin is Clarence Thomas, completely unqualified but cynically chosen for being a member of a demographic group that usually votes Democratic. No wonder so many women are insulted by the choice.

*Will Hillary voters buy Palin's extreme antiabortion stance that allows no exceptions, not even for incest or rape; her belief in "market- and business-driven healthcare"; her support for teaching creationism in public schools; her rejection of global warming as man-made?

*Stopping the Russians. In a goofy attempt to give Palin foreign policy credentials, McCain (an ex-POW) said Alaska is near Russia. Come to think of it, there haven't been any Russian invasions since she's been governor.

1. That's what I said as soon as she was announced

Sarah Palin is Clarence Thomas all over again. You want a woman? Well, here's these ethically challenged, totally unqualified woman -- I dare you to vote against her.

Remember Clarence Thomas. If you opposed him -- no matter why -- it's because you were racist. Just the same as they are claiming anyone who opposes Palin is sexist.
