She IS insulting me!!!
Good post from Michael Seitzman...

Don't you get it? I'm not insulting Sarah Palin, SHE IS INSULTING ME.

I'm not required to take her seriously simply because she's a woman and I might offend some people by tearing her down with irony and satire. I'm not required to take her seriously simply because this crotchety old man has insulted all of us, women and men, by smugly assuring us that he is the arbiter of experience and readiness. I'm not required to take her seriously when she actually was chosen, not because of her experience, but because of her appearance.

This is a woman chosen because of her attractiveness, both physically and ideologically, to a particular type of person. That person is not looking for depth. Not remotely. That person is looking for things that are just plain wrong. Not different, wrong. And one of those things is a padlock on your uterus. Now let's talk about sexism.

2. I agree. And we don't owe her any respect, either.
After the nasty way she conducted herself in her acceptance speech, how dare they come up with that commercial claiming that Obama's being disrespectful!
