2 days ago there was an
interesting article in the Baltimore Sun. It was about John McCain's choice for VP --> Palin. At first I thought that it must be an editorial so I checked the top of the page...nope...billed as a real article
"Home >
News >
Nation"Here are a few of the excerpts that should tip you off that this may be less than objective:
- "So. This is what being pandered to feels like."
- "He seems to think that my girlfriends and I are so disappointed that an utterly qualified woman is not going to be president that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman for vice president."
- "Does McCain think we will be so grateful for a skirt on the ticket that we won't notice that she's anti-abortion, a member of the NRA and thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution?"
- " His selection of Sarah Palin is insulting on so many levels that I am starting to feel like the Geico caveman."
- " You want to look good to the evangelicals? Choose a running mate with a Down syndrome child."
- " Palin's personal story is very compelling, but it reads more like a movie pitch than a resume for national leadership."
- "She makes John McCain, Naval Academy graduate, fighter pilot and prisoner of war, look like just another grouchy, old, rich white guy. Oh. Right. He is."
- "If you are going to pick a woman for the sake of picking a woman, can you at least make it a credible choice?"
- "It isn't just that Palin might look bad campaigning against the likes of Biden or Obama. It's that she already looks bad compared to the likes of Hillary Clinton."
Ok - that was a lot of the article. Now - all politics aside...this simply does not seem very objective. Looking at her other work it appears that she may just in fact be a professional editorialist. So maybe it is just the Baltimore Sun's mistake for not placing a disclaimer anywhere that states "this is not the opinion of the newspaper"...but maybe they don't see the need.
In the end, it would appear to me that this lady misses a pretty fundamental point... that NOT ALL WOMEN are left-wing Clinton fans. Maybe..just maybe...there are a few women out there who actually are conservative??
So without further ado...here she is...your shining portrait of every woman in America...Susan Reimer.
