No matter what Sarah or Hillary does the media and bloggers will "make stuff up." The Confluence nails it:
"The haunted vagina explanation makes as much sense as any I've heard and would excuse some of the deplorable behavior of formerly esteemed lefty bloggers. As for what I think about yesterday's shocking announcement I have to say I don't know what to think. By the rules of conventional wisdom Sarah Palin has thrown away her credibility and ended her political career. But when you have a haunted vagina the rules of conventional wisdom don't apply to you." The Haunted Vagina <http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/the-haunted-vagina/> Posted on July 4, 2009 by myiq2xu [2827586689_289c501c52_o] I think Sarah Palin's vagina is haunted. It is possessed by insanity-inducing evil spirits that cause mass hysteria at the mere mention of her name. These vaginal demons can turn feminists <http://www.reclusiveleftist.com/2008/09/15/sarah-palin-and-feminism/> into lying <http://www.reclusiveleftist.com/2009/06/16/feminists-against-women-stri\ kes-again/> misogynists <http://www.reclusiveleftist.com/2008/10/17/stone-her/> and make a gay man <http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/2009/07/womb-envy-watch-andrew-sull\ ivan-oby-gyn.html> obsess about nasty lady parts. They can induce the pimping of speculative rumors <http://www.talkleft.com/story/2009/7/4/1282/35742> by a criminal defense attorney and even cause sanctimonious critics of "truthiness" to invite <http://www.correntewire.com/more_info_comes_out_on_palin_and_dominionis\ m_armageddon_and_book_bans#comment-113875> the publishing of stories like these <http://www.correntewire.com/blog/dogemperor> on their pristine blogs. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jst...@...> wrote: > > Actually, the context here was *sexist* media > coverage.
