Sarah Palin: A Bold Message to the Women of America
By Max Udargo | August 30, 2008
By selecting Sarah Palin to be John McCain’s running mate, the Republican Party has demonstrated its commitment to keeping Hillary Clinton’s dream alive. Upset to see Hillary treated so poorly, and saddened by the disappointment they see in the eyes of Hillary’s supporters, the Republicans have, in an historic act of chivalry, picked up her fallen banner by choosing a vice-presidential nominee who will fight for all the things Hillary fought for, because she is a woman just like Hillary.
It’s the first time a major American political party has selected a woman to be the vice-presidential nominee. Okay, that’s not true. The Democrats did it in 1984. But it’s the first time the Republican Party has chosen a woman to be their vice-presidential nominee, over two decades after the Democrats. But, whereas the Democrats chose Geraldine Ferraro out of cold political calculation, the Republicans have chosen Sarah Palin out of love. Love for Hillary Clinton.
Sarah won’t actually be the presidential nominee, the way Hillary would have been if she had won the Democratic primary. But we can expect Sarah to play a substantial role in John McCain’s administration, based on their long history of working closely together and the wealth of experience she’ll bring to the table.
The Republicans have gallantly picked up the ball the Democrats dropped, and, in so doing, they have sent a bold message to the women of America: ”We think you are all complete morons.”

Great post. I will read your posts frequently. Added you to the RSS reader.
And will the WoA finally feel someone understands them?
Yeah, she’s been polarizing the women, of course. But the pick was evilly smart: Men opposed to women’s equality love Palin.
I hope someone points out she’s going to be taking their condoms away and sending Blackwater in to enforce their shotgun weddings.
But more comics are important. Where are your priorities, Max? Where are your values?
Comics is hard, Yamara. Punditry is easy.
