The latest from the balanced world of network news is that women are supposed to enter into the world of politics as men, not women. Palin is being roasted over her wardrobe, her makeup artist, her "desertion" of her family, her bad mothering... If this were reversed, if Hillary had been nominated by the Dems and Fox News were talking about her clothes and makeup, the MSM would cry "Anti-Feminist". But, since Palin is conservative everything is fair game.
The claim is that Palin can't be a "typical hockey mom" since she now has an expensive wardrobe and personal stylist. However, the argument is self referentially absurd. The fact that a wardrobe had to be purchased on her behalf after she got the VP nod, and the fact that a stylist is required to make her look good actually prove the point. She didn't have these things before, she needs help!
But, if this is the best they have to throw at her it just makes them look desperate. I just wish someone would take note of the hypocrisy.
