Return of Beyond the Palin, Have Cake, Eat It Too Dept. 1
In today’s Inky, Susan Estrich portrayed Sarah Palin as a victim of sexist libruls pointing and giggling at the picture of Palin on the cover of Newsweek (the link is to Yahoo, because I could not find the column on the Inky website).
The libruls I know found the cover in quite poor taste, as I remarked here.
But there’s another way to look at it. She loves to play the MILF card when it’s to her advantage, then play the “you’re sexist” card when it benefits her. Jessica Valenti writes at the Guardian:
It’s as it may be. But all the charges of sexism in the world don’t answer this question:
Is Palin aware that every other word that comes out of her mouth a lie, or is she merely delusional?
Inquiring minds want to know.

It just occurred: Could she be saying whatever she feels is necessary to accomplish her goals? That she doesn’t see it as a lie, just something that needs to be done, like taking out the trash or cleaning the cat box. Neither is particularly “fun” to do, but they both have to be done.
Just sayin’
Or, could say this: She is more than welcome to sit down & STFU anytime now.
