Women Candidate Double Standards

What annoys me about the latest non-brouhaha was, what - Sarah Palin makes one comment about lipstick, and suddenly all lipstick now theoretically belongs to her in the realm of politics?

Gimme a break. As I heard a farmer say on the radio this afternoon, you can TRY to put lipstick on a pig, but they think it's a yummy treat, so good luck NOT having the lipstick eaten out of your hand!

I swear, this season, the political media is worked into a frenzy that any little thing gets blown all out of proportion.

Listen, there's plenty of time between now and the election. Can we have the entire political media sent to a corner for a nice three-day "time out"? Wouldn't that be nice?

The bright side is now we have brought glamour, glitz and SUPERMODELS into the mix,

Now we have to teach them HOW TO USE A VOTING MACHINE!

I read, with some satisfaction, that one of the worst commentators was told to stay at home for the election night coverage.

Keith Olberman was canned from the MSNBC presidential election night coverage because he was critical that NBC, sister station to MSNBC, played a video clip from the Republican Convention.

Knowing the way he reacts to small things in the media he has no control over, he must have busted an artery when that happened.

I like it.
