Mika Brzezinski: "As a mother, I am completely in awe of this woman."

I wonder what your dad thinks of her, Mika?

Mika in effect said that she could barely do 2 kids and a full-time job. The implication wasn't that Palin was terrific. At least I got out of it that Palin was letting some things slide in order to further her career.

What a shill.

She said it was a bad choice for mccain, Dan Quayle was even mentioned in comparison. That comment was only about the fact that she had 5 children and worked full time and Mika said she had 2 and it was all she could handle.

...I'm not.

This is one of the most cynical, pandering, and insulting political ploys I think I have ever seen.

If McCain thinks that the ticket will get a free pass on tough questions because he has a woman on the ticket, he's wrong. If he thinks people will treat her like a porcelain doll and not expect her to prove her creds, he's wrong. If he thinks people will excuse her pitiable lack of national political experience because she has five kids -- including a soon-to-be soldier and a special-needs child -- he's wrong. If this is because he thinks that women will respond like Pavlov's dog and immediately fall lock-step behind him, merely because he consdescended to share his limelight with a member of the fairer sex...he's wrong. This goes double for his apparent attitude toward Democratic women, who supported Hillary Clinton for much more thoughtful and substantive reasons than what McCain assumes.

As a woman, I really hate people playing me for a fool. And that is precisely what McCain did today -- played all of us as fools: Democratic, Republican, Independent, whatever our political leanings.

Very much looking forward to the Veep debate. I loves me some good old ass-kickin'.
