Palin is what you get when no one believes you want anything more than to be indulged and fettered , rather than engaged and responsible. Palin is what you get when teh way you wield and identify power is observed and handed back to you.

Sara palin is what happens when we SAY becomes radically and entusiastically different from what we do.Sarah Palin is what happens when we use the rhetoric of change and unity , to ADVERTISE our selves rather than change our worlds.

In Feminism Is For Everybody, bell hooks talks about those feminists whom the media likes, who weren't really working towards feminist goals but towards attaining power for themselves and women like them within the system. Yah, looking at Sarah Palin, I can't help but think she is the out come. Honestly, Hillary was bad enough.
i caught your post on my blogger dashboard (almost blew it up, methinks!)... wow, i think that wherever palin is right now, she's crying... ouch!
ReplyDeletei called her out on one of my latest posts too.
i can't say i hate her (don't even know her), but i'm glad she's seriously helped ruin hers and mccain's chances of getting into the white house.
