The XX Factor: What women really think.

I Can't Believe I'm Saying This, But, Lay Off Palin!

A few weeks ago, when it was pointed out that it wasn't all that surprising that someone like Palin (Alaska resident, married young, parent of five) wouldn't have a passport or extensive foreign travel experience, the response was: Yeah, but she's running for vice president. An extraordinary job with extraordinary demands. (I am persuaded by this argument.)

Now that the question is about her wardrobe, we're back to asking her to be normal.

No fair!
