I was sad about Ernst...and she said, "Well at least we have elected our first woman to national office" .
I'm sorry, I can't take her as a good example of this.
Am I being petty? She is a disaster in the making and may harm the chances of any other woman being elected due to being a nut job.

I think she's delusional, but I can see the point in looking for an upside to even a disaster. I just can't see this debacle in the making as having an upside.

It may not last too long, though. Both have an ego the size of a boxcar.

I politely disagreed and left.

(3,666 posts)any woman will do. I really think that's why they picked Palin. Don't have to be smart just look pretty and follow orders. It's insulting.
