    SP Inflatable Doll, Part 2

    Posted Tuesday, October 21, 2008 5:00 PM | By Hanna Rosin
    Susannah, what a great connection. The First Feminists have been such sourpusses during this election that I'd forgotten about their sexed-up side: Gloria Steinem, zipless Erica Jong, Germaine Greer busting out of her tight grey suits, flanked by two women making out behind her. On the conservative side, the anti-feminists have been flirting with sexiness for a while, basically since Laura Ingraham posed for the New York Times Magazine in her leopard-print miniskirt. But it's always been a little timid, as if they were just a younger version of the good, Republican wife. Maybe Sarah Palin is the first one to own the sex appeal and use it as her weapon. Everytime you read about the crowds of men around her, they seem much less predator than prey, just awed, awed by her, here in the New York Times and in the Jane Mayer piece.
