    Well, I thought more that patronising women politicians as cock-pleasers (if they're on the right) is as obnoxious as Kiwibogian swill about left-wing female politicians being man-haters - probably dykes, come to that.

    Text of Obama's Arizona speech.

    I listened to it, and damn I had a few tears honestly jerked. Another reminder why it's nice to have an adult in the Oval Office, and not have an attention-seeking flake squatting at 1 Observatory Circle.

    SP is a classic right-wing woman politician going hard out to prove she has a dick. Thatcher did exactly the same thing, though she was up against it, being a pioneer.
    Not so SP.
    These women tell men what they want to hear, dress as they know men prefer and ultimately give men what they want (war, guns, money).
    They are puppets (IMHO).

    Wow, it's been a while since I've been simultaneously offended on so many levels. Snarky kudos to you.

    Does that remind you of a certain big-earringed ex-public servant closer to home? She claimed persecution on the basis of her dress sense, gender and what-have-you, to draw attention away from the fact she’s a nouveau riche hypocrite.

    If you're talking about Christine Rankin, she got her day in court – and obviously she didn’t make her case but nobody can make the case she wasn't treated fairly. (And while Steve Maharey and Mark Prebble may have been tosspots, there are a lot of employers out there who have good reason to be thankful that’s not a crime.)

    There are some who would have us believe that the only reason Sarah Palin is being attacked now is because she is a woman.

    Been there, done that, got all the merchandise. During the election, I would have saved a lot of time if I'd just made up flash cards.

    I don't despise Sarah Palin because she's a woman.

    I despise her because she's incompetent.

    Unqualified.

    Can't give a straight answer to a straight question.

    Lies. A lot.

    Wants to be Vice President, but won't do interviews.

    Treats her disabled infant son like a handbag.

    Is symptomatic of McCain's deeply unserious and cynical campaign.

    And I'd still despise her if she had a penis.

    Just to lighten things a little... a lady gorilla in a tutu!

    OK, I'll get it right next time.

    Come on, I want to hear you "blood libel" poor innocent truth-tellers standing up against the New World Order of liberal-homosexual-atheist-Socialist tyrrany. Or something.

    And, of course, an oldie but always a goodie: the “international bankers”.

    ... which is code for?

    Speechless.

    Yup – it’s a very special kind of extortion isn’t it? While I don't negotiate with terrorists, keeping those monsters away from the funeral of a child would be grounds for a re-think.

    Or a t-shit.

    Oooh, I want a GOD HATES DOUCHE BAGS one. Especially when those Westboro loons have miraculously found a new low to hit. Really tempted to say something that, under the circumstances, would just be getting in their gutter.
