To use the word "sexist" against Newsweek Newsweak (ed. - sorry, Stacy, had to correct your spelling there *snicker*] is to accuse enlightened liberal elitists of violating their own egalitarian standards -- which is all fine and good. But "sexist" also sounds like one of those grim, humorless Women's Studies professors ranting at a campus "Take Back the Night" rally.
Ick. Don't go there, governor. You are a happily married Christian conservative pro-life woman who -- oh, glorious coincidence! -- looks good in shorts. Your husband is a certified USDA prime slice of hunkalicious beef, your son is a soldier in Bravo Company, and your daughter is a single mom with a selfish douchebag ex-boyfriend.
All of which is to say, you are the 21st-century all-American woman, a symbol to which a lot of moms can relate. Just think of the enormous untapped electoral potential in the "My Daughter's Ex-Boyfriend Is A Selfish Douchebag" Coalition.
Lean into the curve, governor. Be yourself. Relax and have fun. Avoid the humorless feminist victimhood pose. If Hillary Clinton couldn't make that work against Obama, the media sure as heck won't let you use it, so let it go.
Yep. Don't fight them on their terms - the sour-grapes rhetoric of the willfully blind and politically correct - fight them with the joy and humor and passion you showed on the campaign trail!
I just got her book yesterday (and for only $9, when Amazon and WalMart were having their price wars), so I'm pretty excited - I'm sure it's going to be a great read!
GO, SARACUDA!!!!!!
