Palin: You're no Hillary Clinton

Story is here.

Look, Palin's talking about being part of cracking the ceiling that have kept women out of the highest office in the land is crap. Rather, it actually confirms traditional sex roles of the woman being a helper with no real power to make decisions to her male (running) mate.

Furthermore, because she has zero acquaintance with anything foreign, let along matters of policy (at least Obama had lived in Indonesia for a time as a child), when McCain inevitably appoints a male Secretary of State, she will be shut out of those discussions because she just does not have a clue. That is a huge contrast with Biden. She will be relegated to being McCain's spokesmodel at ribbon cuttings and international funerals.

Really, he may have thought, since he has a reputation for womanizing, that she would just sex up the place. Can women accept that? I don't think so.

Approved
