Last week, David Letterman said some tacky things about Sarah Palin and her daughters, prompting some truly awful grandstanding on Palin’s part, a pointless protest, an eventual apology:
By reason of her seeming crusade on sexist jokes, for which I do not fault her, you may be tempted to consider Palin a “true feminist,” with an interest in advancing women’s rights and equality. Don’t. What she does is far more important than what she says, and I don’t know about you, but when you nominate for Attorney General a man who expresses himself thusly -
“If a guy can’t rape his wife, who’s he gonna rape?”
“There wouldn’t be an issue with domestic violence if women would learn to keep their mouths shut.”
- I seriously question not only your “feminist” credentials, but your very right to a political career in this century.
We can only hope Palin’s new Attorney General Daniel Sullivan, announced on her ridiculously stylized Twitter page, is more enlightened. Which is to say, enlightened at all.
