Perhaps the most frightening thing is that parts of this skit were, in fact, exact quotations from the interview.
Equally as distressing is the unfortunate fact that now people who have not had much exposure to women in power will see in Palin an affirmation of their belief that women are, in fact, not qualified to be in power. Each time she speaks the glass ceiling gets just a little bit firmer.
Jennie, I hear you on Gov.Palin standing up there, representing all women...but I also think we have reached a point where people see her as being unqualified, not that *all* women are unqualified just because she is. I think the transitive property's power is diminishing a bit for women in leadership... Or perhaps, I hope.
She is an amazing phenomenon for me. Americans can not possibly want a cute, sexy Dick Cheney, who memorized a bunch of lines and regurgitated them whether or not it was the question...Can they?

I had to say it.... I am a pot stirrer.
There is always one. ;)
Keep stirring...not sure how fresh or tasty your ingredients are though.
