I am going to divert a little from my normal blogging and write about the Sarah Palin phenomenon and what I, as a professional woman, think about it.
There is no question in my mind that Sarah Palin is not qualified to be the Vice President of the United States. Yet the trouncing she is taking is unprecedented. Questions are being raised as to why she would even think about saying yes...well, duh, how many people say "yes" to roles for which they are woefully inadequate? More than we care to think about.
Yet it is Sarah Palin who is getting the flack...not John McCain. Quite honestly I find that Sarah Palin, in accepting the opportunity did what most men, or women, would do...and she is being challenged because she didn't second guess herself? Oh come on...
It is John McCain's judgment and his readiness for the office of President of the United States which should be questioned. How can a man who would be President, be so out of touch with women to believe that women would just vote for Palin, because they share a chromosome with her. Because we are too stupid to actually consider the experience, stance on issues etc. of a potential candidate? Once again...oh come on....
So instead of crucifying Sarah Palin...let's go after the real culprit ... John McCain....he shouldn't ever be considered for the presidency, if his judgement to pick a VP candidate is found lacking....
Of course then, this doesn't mean he won't
win....after all America did vote in George W. Bush.....twice.
