Okay, so a lot of people are going to make fun of Sarah Palin for not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is. But let’s be honest: that’s like not knowing what phlogiston or the four humours are. Yes, it’s basic knowledge, but it’s also completely wrong and history will mock people for supporting it until the end of time.

Okay, admittedly I stopped paying attention to the presidential campaign months ago when I decided that:
- I’m not voting for a Republican because they’ve gotten every single issue wrong for the last 8 years,
- I like both Hillary and Barack, and will support either of them, andÂ
- I don’t really care to hear them tear each other apart.
And it’s probably that last part that I’m missing out on. Because now I hear former Hillary supporters saying that if they can’t have her, they’re going to support McCain/Palin because:
- Sarah Palin’s a woman,
- Like many women she has children,
- They identify with her femininity and having-borne-children-ness, and
- They’re angry about what the Obama camp did

Yes, yes, Sarah Palin may be an unqualified nut with the screechiest voice this side of The Nanny, but she’ll still make a great vice president. I mean, she may not be able to do as good a job as Joe Biden, but since she’s not a feminist, can’t we just pay her 86 percent of what we would have paid a man?
The lady’s a Republican for goodness sakes - she should be happy with a little sexism.
