Just another political pause since the debate was the most interesting thing on television last night. I will admit that Sarah Palin is cute and "folksy" with her Alaskan accent and little wink. Too bad she has zero ability to actually address the questions asked of her (how many times did she say the answer is yes/no and now I will discuss whatever I feel like). She also seemed like an automaton up there as if she were reading the literal lines some adviser had programmed into her brain (the first time you pull the string she says maverick, the second time she says soccer mom!). At least she got to finally meet Joe Biden (and he let her call him Joe!) who seemed to be entertained by the proceedings.
Rather than hash the whole thing (since my overall aim here is not politics), I just have to put in one thought. When she discussed countries which hated us for our rights, she actually listed women's rights as one of the rights Americans enjoy. Did anyone else wish the moderator or Biden had asked her how any governor who makes women pay for their own rape kits and seeks to outlaw abortion even in the case of rape or intest could claim that America was the home of women's rights?
