Adding Insult to Intellect

How could you not love a woman who refuses to be "boxed in" as a feminist and thus in her bumbling, folksy way makes a mockery of feminism, not to mention intellectualism. Meanwhile, the rest of everyone (okay mostly men) can help but talk about her "sexiness" whenever they can. Ugh. Oh, and geewillikers. Dick Cavett presents a them there downright good story of sorts of the New Palinism.

One has to assume that the lady has some intelligence to get to where she got (and is) but that is not what we have been shown. Is she really wacky or does the media have an agenda?

"I mean you set yourself up just to continually be mocked, you know so sometimes that doesn’t do any good, but what I have done in this campaign is in reaching out to the American voters through our rallies, through the one on ones, through the small meetings that we’ve had trying to get our message out, our plans for this country out there minus the filter of some of the filter of the mainstream media because, because that filter as, as we see every day when we turn on the news too often there is this, this opaqueness, there is this, this spin, this contortion of a person’s words and intentions and that does more harm than good, so it’s a greater challenge for me and for John McCain to try to get our message out there without that filter of I think some of the world’s media."

Ummmmm.....

Well, yes, there is the evil liberal media. No, really, I do think that the media pick and choose, which is why I'm a supporter of Free Press (freepress.net). I tend to think someone wacky when she thinks the government should leave her religion alone, but should intervene if she has an unwanted pregnancy for whatever reason. She does not seem to be a big fan of logic.
