One of these Women is not like the others,
One of these Women just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which one is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
Seven of these Women belong together
Seven of these Women are kind of the same
Can you guess which one of these doesn't belong here?
Now it's time to play our game
With apologies to Sesame Street
What a slam to Republican Women. I suppose it is a slam to all women but if McCain was going to appoint a woman to be his running mate, it would seem logical to pick someone who had been loyal to the party and had been of service to its ends.
Linda Bergthold addresses this in her blog entry at Huffington Post
It's a slap in the face of other Republican women like Kay Bailey Hutchison, bless her heart, who was forced to stumble through an interview on TV trying to make the case for Palin whom she has never met. There are certainly women in the Republican party who were "in line" for this before Palin.
Granted, I don't agree with most of these women on many issue but they are women who have been involved in public service for many years and have insight into how the government works in Washington.
I wonder how they feel about John McCain picking someone with so little experience to be a heartbeat away from the awesome levers of power the the U.S Presidency holds. I mean not the correct press release "how they feel" but the real stuff. I'd love to hear Liddy Dole and Bob grousing about this over dinner:)
BTW...We progressives have a pretty deep bench of future Presidents who happen to be women.
