McCain's Ball and Chain

I'm sure by now most of you have heard the latest horror to emerge from McCain's mouth, following his stunningly ignorant dismissal of the "health" of mothers during the last debate (see Melinda's post here). Now he is proudly touting Sarah Palin as the perfect woman, the anti-feminist:

"As a cold political calculation, I could not be more pleased. She has excited and energized our base. She is a direct counterpoint to the liberal feminist agenda in America."

That's right, shame on you liberal feminists and your twisted "agenda": expecting equal pay, desiring control over your own bodies, demanding social and legal equality, and fighting for the freedom to maintain both a career and a family. Take some advice from Mrs. Todd Palin and learn what it means to be a real woman:


Apparently, McCain is too stupid to realize that Palin owes her entire political career to the "liberal feminists" he so despises. It's alarming that someone so close to attaining the highest office in this country has no idea what feminism means. Then again, only someone this contemptuous of women would have chosen a female running mate not for her experience, not for her intellect, not for her capacity as an adviser, but merely as a "cold political calculation." In other words, a Vice-First Lady. A White-Housewife.
