McCain's Misogyny & Fear Keep Palin On Tight Leash-All that's missing is her burka.
McCain's Misogyny & Fear Keep Palin On Tight Leash!

During Sarah Palin's acceptance speech when nominated by John McCain for Vice President, McCain wouldn't leave Palin alone on stage. Rather than give her the momentary limelight, McCain peered over her shoulder and read her speech alongside her. He was visibly nervous and has remained so ever since. Other than Wednesday at the RNC when Palin finally appeared solo, the image of McCain hovering authoritatively over her is the constant at every appearance. McCain's public subjugation of Palin, and her public acceptance of it, set male-female advancement back decades. Were Palin truly a trusted and powerful woman she'd request and be granted autonomy on stage, and reject McCain's Taliban-like presence. All that's missing is her burka. Honestly, what strong woman tolerates a man hovering over her in the presence of thousands? If she's really VP worthy, McCain should leave her alone.

1. K&R for truth. It sure feels like that. And you've heard, she's been allowed out
to talk publicly with Uncle Charlie Gibson.

2. What about Cindy?
Have you noticed how Cindy McCain seems to be omnipresent too. Hovering over all. Always in a new brightly colored dress. Saw a clip of Palin giving a speech with Gramps on her left & Cindy kinda in between. Then Gramps whispered something to his lovely wife & she beat feet! It was funny, but sad. Doesn't Cindy have some beer to distribute. Or something.

I agree. Grampy is a misogynist. Always has been. But no sympathy for Palin, whatsoever!

3. I thought he was looking at her butt, not her speech
