Let’s just cut to the chase. The Republicans haven’t a clue about women. Look at the Republican women that have come to our attention in the past eight years – Condoleeza Rice, Harriet Miers, and Miss Scary herself, Katherine Harris not to mention some drab or rigid first ladies, sorry Laura, Barbara Bush (she is a lady right?), and Betty Ford to name a few. McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin is consistent with the Republicans’ taste in women, whom I call the political bimbos – bad hair, Wall Street suits, and some essence that appeals to the sad old men of the Republican party.
Republican women remind me of the Stepford wives and some remind me of those women who marry Mormons and serve them quietly and obediently. I can’t help but feel that Cindy McCain is quietly seething as a younger, big-haired woman is going to steal her photo ops, while it is her fortune that gave McCain his path to politics.
McCain has seriously erred if he thinks that Hillary will sit quietly as this lightweight tries to break the “glass ceiling” instead of her. I’m looking forward to Hillary claws coming out and maybe Bill can get her in a compromising position. It will be fun to watch. Let the games begin.
