Asking that question is sexist...
Saying I'm a woman is sexist... they sicken me.

Right?

14. They ridiculed the Dems because they said we didn't have a sense of humor
When they ran the Paris Hilton and The One they claimed they were just having fun and we need to lighten up.

for tapping in to her board of directors emails and phone calls?

Yeah - -there's a real American...

11. hmm, two women, parodying actual things that the women candidates have said..
AND this is sexist.. No, Carly, it just makes Palin look like an imbecile to the Americans who are sitting at home on a Saturday night, and YES, more are siting home on a Saturday night because they lack the funds to head on out for a night on the town or for a mini-weekend vacation. So, in layman's terms, Palin was shown to be a complete fraud and that she is NOT Clinton.. NO Way, NO How, NO McCain, NO PALIN!!!!

She's a failure with a chip on her shoulder, with a serious personal axe to grind.

17. What?!? Seriously? How can it be sexist when it was two women doing the sketch?
There's no way they can imply that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are sexist against Palin.

Nobody is sexist. Just because we think Palin sucks the big one does not mean in any way that FEMALES do in general...

23. Palin's nomination is a reflection of Republican sexism!
Republicans believe that women & minorites want "special" treatment not equal treatment. With Palin's nomination, they immediately started screaming "sexism" out of the gates. They have no idea what's appropriate or not so they think they can use it as a shield for Palin. As "Hillary" said on SNL - (paraphrase) "Questions about record & experience are NOT sexist."

Neither are jokes about a candidate whose nomination IS a joke!

Sexist is chosing a running mate solely on the basis of her gender and the fact that she smiles all purdy-like.

not for sexism, but for making bad decisions that almost wrecked HP

...Carly sez it's sexist, thus proving that it was a great skit and hit a nerve.

So clearly the skit was effective. Thanks Carly, we appreciate your help in clearing that up!

34. Fantastic
Shows how out of touch the McSame camp is to those who found it funny, which it undeniably was.

What they fail to see is no one wants to vote for a political leader that will throw a hissy fit if they are made fun of - it's so North Korea.

The McSame camp is on the wrong side of credibility.

40. It seems to me that she would rather have women go and hide.
Cause godforbid someone looks at them wrong, or says anything about them - they are labeled sexist.

As a middle aged woman who was involved in the Women's Movement in my college days, all I can say is
GIVE ME A F'ING BREAK!

See, when McCain/Palin do or say something crass, they are just joking, and BO and Ds need to get a sense of humor. When McCain/Palin are called for even the most blatent of their crape, they are victims.

54. "No Job is America's God Given Right Anymore."
Carly has yet to express regret over this statement and wholeheartedly believes it. Really easy to say from someone who burns through revenue to be in the same place when she started and gets a cool 22 million exit package for her mesa-management skills. Nice work, if you can pull it off.

McCain has/had free-trader, anti-worker scumbags like Fiorina, Whitman, Gramm and Feldstien on his staff. He's one of the most pro-NAFTA, pro-free trade, pro-job outsourcing candidates there is.

And workers (particularly blue collar red staters) by and large LOVE this boob . . . WHY?


"Thank you sir may I have another???"

YEAH!! KEEP FUCKING YOURSELVES OVER!!!
