The Seattle Weekly Palin cover is sexist and awful and
I couldn't help laughing . . . (The cover used on the paper edition of the Weekly is shown about half way down on the far left column.)

2. I don't get it.
Is it about her being against sex education in schools?

6. I was thinking something along the lines of the Empress has no clothes?
but yeah, its not exactly clear. hopefully it'll fade under the radar... we don't need next week's news cycle to be about this crap.

9. Why fade away? The professional knew it was a good idea.
Who are you? Who do you think you are? Of course we want negative things about her to come-out. Why you defending her here?

14. lol-- I'm hardly defending her. But you have to know they'll be in full faux-outrage mode
over it.

my point is simply that I hope it doesn't become a major news story. We don't need that. The economic situation is keeping them pinned down and you know another "omg! sexism!" distraction is exactly what they are hoping for.

8. here..on edit link did not work
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 01:45 AM by chknltl


Well that didn't work sorry...it seems to work on my screen in preview mode but won't post-gets hijacked by what you see here instead. Go to link provided by OP scroll down a little less than 1/2 way, it is small orange colored on left hand side-shows a disrobing Sarah Palin cartoon and the words-teach me tonight.

13. At risk of being sexist.....
Do you think DU would let me use that instead of my impeach bush gif??? Better yet maybe I can get SwampRat to combine the two-instead of 'teach me now' it could read 'impeach me now'
