1. Fragile? Fragile? Who are they fucking kidding? PTA to the Presidency makes for fragile?

It would be a disaster of monumental proportions.

2. Surely there's been at least one Republican woman in elected office

that has said she's a weak candidate.

4. Okay. How is this a sexist statement? Is this going to be Palin's

POW response to anything? McCain can't be criticized because he was a POW and Palin can't be criticized because it would be sexist.

5. Ummm...sexist?

What, now a woman can't say anything about another woman? What about the Republicans using race against Obama? This is getting completely ridiculous. If she can't handle constructive criticism, then I suggest she drop out of the race. She is running for Vice President for the love of pete.

6. I just love it when right wing men tell women that they are being sexist n/t
