It's truly amazing how quickly the Palin fiasco has made Republicans into fervent campaigners against sexism. This makes the job of a Jon Stewart so incredibly easy. I don't usually embed, but I was watching this last night with the appropriate level of mirth.



One might add that she really didn't come off that well last night -- sort of the nightmare soccer mom for everyone who's deeply afraid of soccer moms, as I am. But in truth, there's so little one needs to say about the election this year, no point to outrage. The Republicans write the whole thing faster than one can even make the ironic commentary.

She was like Tina Fey with a Canadian accent and repulsive politics.

Is that a Canadian accent? It's as repulsive as her politics.

It sounded more like Frances McDormand in Fargo to me. It definitely sounded whiny and smarmy -- the perfect marriage of content and tone.

Why do people keep comparing her to Tina Fey? I would vote for Tina Fey. She looks more like Elaine from Seinfeld.

I think it's that one can imagine Tina Fey doing an impersonation of Palin. Nice icon, is that a stereo ad? I know I've seen it before. One of those disturbing fifties ads where women are perversely submissive and men are psychotically dominant.

Well, the operative phrase was "with repulsive politics." You wouldn't vote for Tina Fey with repulsive politics!

My mom has five kids, the youngest with Downs'. I think my mom would be a shitty fucking president - but still a better president than Tina Fey Palin.

I don't doubt that she would! Without knowing anything about her!

She's like Celia Hoades from Weeds mixed with Rexella!
