The XX Factor: What women really think.

Palin's Inflation Problem

Susannah, thanks for the great posts and welcome! Please forgive me if I suggest this Flight of the Conchords song as background music for this post, just because reading your post about the Sarah Palin blow-up doll made me think of their genius lyric: “She's so hot, she's making me sexist.”

Susannah’s post taken together with Bonnie’s raise the depressing specter of an America that's run largely by dirty old men or, perhaps, by men who simply cannot untangle their sexual feelings about women from their political ones. Yuck. I don’t know about the rest of you, but if the lesson of the two posts together is that men are from Porky’s and our only choice is whether or not to exploit that, I think there’s still time to get me to a nunnery by sundown.
