I usually don’t post about politics, but…

I think Joe Klein’s article on community organizers is well worth reading. Guiliani’s and Palin’s sneers at community organizers were tacky, mean, and downright STUPID. Any remaining shred of respect I had for John McCain was utterly destroyed by his disastrous choice for running mate or, as he called her, his “soulmate.” Oy.
I can think of half a dozen more qualified Republican women he could’ve picked. I still wouldn’t have voted for him, but that last little smidgen of respect would’ve hung on.
Lynne, I think McCain is digging himself a deep hole. And I’m actually happy about it, because I want Obama to win. LOL I could say so much about Palin, but Gloria Steinem did it much more eloquently in this LA Times article.
Hi, Edie! Congrats again on your final in American Title!
Loved that Steinem article. I hope most women aren’t fooled by this oh-so-sexist choice of Palin as McCain’s running mate. There’ll be some who will get all starry-eyed about it, but I hope most women will see this pick for the cynical, insulting thing that it is.
