destroying sarah

it's amazing how much a lot of people i know - especially the women - hate sarah palin. right. but as gleeful as her destruction might make you, you'd better think about joe mcginniss's approach. hounding her, harassing her, moving in next door to her, watching her through the windows with a pair of binoculars, going through her trash, and now publishing her alleged sexual history. without assuming this crap to be true, i would contemplate how you'd feel if someone took this approach to hillary or whomever, or to yourself. let's just say that with regard to most women i know, the 80s might look bad as a series of headlines, etc., and if everyone takes this approach to the female politicians on the other side, we'll end up ejecting all non-nuns from the political system. this would be a victory for patriarchy, which of course i warmly endorse, but i'm not sure the level of discourse is being raised by pointing and howling 'slut!' or photoshopping a red 'A' onto someone's cute outfit. before you get pissy with sarah for always attacking the media, you might want to think about what the media actually has done to her. it's frigging ridiculous.
