The bar

Hey Heather,

Reading lots of stuff about how the Republicans want us to lower the bar to the ground on what our expectations will be for the Palin/Biden debate. Ugh.

I agree with this writer from Salon.com:

"So here it is, finally. And as unpleasant as it may be to watch the humiliation of a woman who waltzed into a spotlight too strong to withstand, I flat out refuse to be manipulated into another stage of gendered regress -- back to the pre-Pelosi, pre-Hillary days when girls couldn't stand the heat and so were shooed back to the kitchen."

Yo... can you believe that she actually winked at the camera when she was talking about what a big mess we are all in, thanks to the Republicans! The only thing she didn't say that was pre-written was '...and world peace.'
What an embarrassment for women everywhere. She didn't answer a single important question posed by Gwen. She just kept talking about what a Maveric the old fart she is running with is
