Evil Barbie, or, How Liberal-Leaning Women See Palin

evilbarbie.jpgAs a woman who loves to ride dirtbikes, there is a part of me that thinks Sarah Palin seems like a pretty awesome person. She really is macho, “tough as nails” as every news article seems to call her. I like that she’s the governor of Alaska where she clearly fits in and is an effective leader. But people, the population of Alaska is roughly 700,000. THAT’S THE SAME AS THE *COUNTY* I CURRENTLY LIVE IN! So, she very effective at running what in California would be called “local politics.”

Here’s what one commenter from a recent Times Online article wrote:

As a Yorkshire woman living in the United States we have known a LOT about Palin for a LOT of years. She is certainly no new comer to the socio-political scene. Her record is sound. Her belief’s a cornerstone of her politics. As a conservative I don’t like liberal John McCain – but Palin is AWESOME!

“Liberal” John McCain? Ha! That is a hoot, but it serves to illustrate just how far right Palin is. She’s got that ultra-conservative thing down. And she’s an ex-beauty queen and mother of five children. SHE’S EVIL BARBIE! Because we all know that Evil Barbie doesn’t want women to have access to birth control. Evil Barbie thinks women should carry guns and shoot animals, but remember girls, never carry a gun bigger than your husband’s!

I think I’d like Palin as a person. Just so long as we NEVER discussed politics.
