This has nothing to do with Palin being a woman (although it wouldn’t surprise me if some Johnny-come-lately feminist comments on here that I am a sexist because there is no other defense of her pathetic record). This has everything to do with McCain’s selection being a political blow job to the conservative right.
I don’t read Daily Kos too often, but I think pretty much the entire internet was enticed into checking out their site this weekend. I’m of course talking about the absolute storm that was set off by their posting of a libelous, incorrect article that alleged Sarah Palin had faked her own pregnancy to cover for her daughter’s secret, underage pregnancy. It’s a classic piece of hysterical, conspiracy-driven garbage that sensationalist blogs like Perez-Hilton and TMZ are famous for. Actually, that’s not true, TMZ usually has photos and reporters – DailyKos only has armchair (computer chair?) quarterbacks who browse Google News and pass it off as research.
