Sarah Palin Naked
She said "nucular." Twice.
I realized three things tonight. For one, if you are a McCain/Palin/Bush voter, you and I do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in brain power. Two, she really is as ignorant as I feared. And, three, she really is kinda hot. Basically, I want to have sex with her on my Barack Obama sheets while my wife reads aloud from the Constitution. (My wife is cool with this if I promise to "first wipe off Palin's tranny makeup." I married well.)
Now, I want to be clear and speak directly to those of you who LOVED that Palin interview. You're an idiot. I mean that. This is not one of those cases where we're going to agree to disagree. This isn't one of those situations where we debate it passionately and then walk away thinking that the other guy is wrong but argued well. I'm not going to think of you as a thoughtful but misguided person with different ideas who still really cares about the country and the world. No, sorry, not this time. This time, if you watched that interview and weren't scared out of your freakin' mind, then you're mentally ill, mentally disabled, or mentally disturbed. What you are NOT is responsible, informed, curious, thoughtful, mature, educated, empathetic, or remotely serious. I mean it.
But I like to think that anyone can change.
Stop voting for people you want to have a beer with. Stop voting for folksy. Stop voting for people who remind you of your neighbor. Stop voting for the ideologically intransigent, the staggeringly ignorant, and the blazingly incompetent.
Vote for someone smarter than you. Vote for someone who inspires you. Vote for someone who has not only traveled the world but who has also shown a deep understanding and compassion for it. The stakes are real and they're terrifyingly high. This election matters. It matters. It really matters. Let me say that one more time. This. Really. Matters.
UPDATE: Sexist? Not So Fast

She said "nucular" NINE TIMES. Not twice. She NEVER corrected herself.
I like Sarah Palin.
But why, why, why must she say nu-cu-lar??? Why??? And why does President Bush??? Even Homer Simpson once made a joke about it.
Saying the word correctly is very simple. All you do is say "new" and "clear" together. "New clear." Put them together and you've got the correct word.
We would have gotten in trouble in third grade if we had mispronounced a word like this. How can potential and existing world leaders get it wrong? Where are the 8,000 people who coach and prepare them?
Best article I've read all election
Seriously man... Michael Seitzman you're the man. Spot on fella... Kudos to your wife.
When Palin was chosen as McCain's running mate, it seemed like a bad joke. The thought of someone with her extremely limited political resume, with no experience in international politics, meeting with world leaders, was absurd. Now it's happening! To hear she's meeting with a leader from the Middle East next week is like a Tina Fey skit, but without the laughter.
Yeah its a bad joke when you consider she has more actual executive experience than Obama has actual experience in the senate. I suspect she never voted "President" like Barack did in he Illinois State house or even voted against his own bills by mistake. Oops my bad.
On the the green side we could probably harness several megawatts of electricity from Abraham Lincoln's spinning corpse induced from Barry's "claimed" legislative accomplishments.
Many men ARE sexualizing Palin and for understandable reasons. Palin at the RNC, as she delivered her lines (well) did so in sassy, sneering, seductive way that did n't, at least for me (& I'm a female) cause me to admire her or want her for V P or for President. She uses feminism in service to the patriarchal agenda. She is a perfect female patriarchal template that many in this country have latched onto.
She's manly ,has her gun and will kick ass if need be, at the same time offers milk that only mommy can provide. She's no feminist (TO ME);.she's anti-female. She's Bush/ Cheney in drag, acting coy , cute and "energetic" and yes, of COURSE she can speak well. So?
Tina Fey on SNL nailed Palin. Palin is a woman that America can accept BECAUSE America CAN sexualize her. McCain could have chosen a much more qualified GOP female to run with him: it's fair to ask why he'd choose Palin and recklessly. She is non-threatening to men (or women) . I think some women like her because they'd like to BE like her. That's "IDENTITY POLITICS" everyone! Wake up, it's instrumental in why McCain chose her.
Anyone who thinks that men are NOT going to objectify Palin are out to lunch. With a McCain win, men will be fantasizing about Palin for 4 years. This isn't sexist; it's truthful.
Beware guys. Palin is NOT sexy mama; she's Mommy Dearest .
SOME men can sexualize Sarah Palin, perhaps.
Me, I like having a conversation in the morning that extends beyond "OMG - what have I done?!?!"
Here's hoping the rest of America leaves their beer goggles at home, come November 4th.
In between California and New York lies this vast intellectual wasteland that can only be spoken to on issues involving war and religion. Thus enters Sarah Palin, gun-toting, Creationist, not saying very much of anything but just the distraction that the Republicans hoped for. Sadly enough, the very people who would benefit from an Obama/Biden win, are coralled into voting against their best interests. Trickle down economics does not work, bottom line. The assault on the middle class began with Reaganomics. Under McCain,the middle class will be obliterated and they will have accomplished their goal, a dictatorship by the upper class. You might ask, why would the Republicans proffer two such inept candidates to lead our country. Well, just regard George Bush, he was the perfect prop, again, he appealed to middle America with his good ole boy appeal, war bravado, no stem cell research war for oil deal, policies. The Republican government is led by the corporations and the super wealthy running our country. They need a majority and so they need to enfranchise unsohisticated Middle America. They simply need two bodies to stand in as President and Vice-President, preferably, puppets they can control. These fat cats have had a ball over the past eight years, getting richer while the rest of the country's misery factor rose.I propose a new idea, how about giving tax relief to the rest of the country for a change and injecting money from the bottom.
I realized three things tonight. For one, if you are a McCain/Palin/Bush voter, you and I do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in brain power.
That's for sure. But not the way you meant.
I want to have sex with her on my Barack Obama sheets while my wife reads aloud from the Constitution.
Why would she sleep with you? She's already sleeping with a man.
Stop voting for people you want to have a beer with.
Fred Thompson lost in the primaries.
Stop voting for the ideologically intransigent, the staggeringly ignorant, and the blazingly incompetent
I generally don't vote in the Democratic primaries.
Vote for someone smarter than you.
I've never had the chance, and that's not going to change in this election. I had a fair amount of exposure to people from Harvard during my four years at MIT, and it was pretty obvious that it was hardly automatic that Harvard = smart.
Bravo
So let's see—either a possible majority of Americans who don't share your political worldview (and therefore your idea of cause and effect) are mentally deficient, psychologically deficent or both, or your worldview is wrong.
Ever hear of Occam's razor? This election does matter, but not in the way you think it does.
Occam's Razor has nothing to do with the reason for difference of opinion. Stop being ignorant.
Okay, so it was a bit raw for Michael to say! But, the fact of the matter stands.... I am scared out of my mind also!!!!!!!!! She is not only not ready to lead a nation, but if I hear one more time about "Todd" I'm gonna screammmmmmmmmmmmmm:) GO OBAMA
Amen!
Michael! I love you! (Though MY wife would NOT be cool with that!)
God, I've been waiting to hear someone speak those words to me. I have made the same decision about a week or two ago. (Yes, I was still trying to have the "reasoned debate" with these cretins.) But it finally hit me just as you said. It is NOT a matter of reasoned debate. It is not a matter of just disagreement. These people are idiots and reasoned debate only elevates them to as level far above where they deserve to be.
Its like arguing whether the moon is made of green cheese. Or with a creationist.
Why is everyone else so afraid to say the obvious. I was getting so discouraged by the American populace that I was about to put a bumper sticker on my car that says;
A M E R I C A D E S E R V E S

While I dislike Palin's politics, I dislike even more what writers such as Seitzman are doing--sexualizing Palin, making her a "discursive object" for their "imaginary sex" with her. I find this deeply unsettling and horribly offensive. This indicates that not only are Americans more at ease with political criticism about a man, but that can only resort to sexual metaphors and symbols when dealing with a female candidate. Certainly if a conservative were to write about Obama laying down the absolutley most banal and horrid representation of an African American man by saying that "I just want to put shackles on his legs and force him to call me Master", people would be deeply offended.
I don't think Palin's politcs are so difficult to argue through intellectual debate that writers such as Michael Seitzman need to debase himself or his fellow women, by "joking" about a sexual adventure with Palin. If the writer really wants to show us what a "man" he is, which can only be the basis for such objectifications of a woman he does not know, why not go to Palin and ask her?
Afraid of getting shot down? Or afraid she might speak back?
All you have to do is take a look at the campaign buttons handed out BY the RNC (with McCain and Palin's approval)..."Coldest State: Hottest Governor"---THAT is sexist...by the RNC, by McCain and by Palin herself. PALIN is setting herself up to be a "discursive object" and is reveling in it. Can't you see that? She's an embarrassment to her sex--using feminism to further traditional male-dominated agendas. Wake up!
Get a grip. Sarah Palin was selected by the same sort of people who design McDonald's ads for children. Do you think that they didn't think about her sex appeal? Her erotic appeal to give blue-collar white men a reason to vote against a Black man. Grow up and understand the levels upon which this cynical manipulation is taking place... That is unless you think they chose her because she is the most qualified person to protect America's future in the even that she became president in a missed heart-beat. In which case, I've just wasted a bunch of words.
Bravo!
