Okay - I am not sure whether to laugh or rage at this. If you toddle over to Digby's place you can see the most remarkable GOP ad I have ever seen. Check it here:

Where are my Cialis pills - my I am getting the vapors
I hope this video goes viral - because it, more than anything else this ad reveals the banality of the GOP.
I don't mean to start an argument over feminism and sexual empowerment - but it is okay by me that we put beyond argument that the whole Sarah Palin "phenomenon" is based on her selling herself as a "hottie."
No - the reason I think this is a particularly revelatory ad - is because it makes very clear that for all the sanctimonious sermonizing that finds the GOP as a home - the truth is the GOP is the party of a very narrow and debilitating stereotype of women. The whole ad is a series of still photos of a stereotypical representation of "femininity." This stereotype is based on presenting women as ditzy, hot, available sex items. I mean who knew - could Sen. Ensign have enjoyed a fancy pageant walk with Miss America if only he had gone on Fox more often?
So - I don't know about you - but it's a hot time when I pull my lever for a GOP air head muffinette - and get my fill just by turning on Foxy News. At least it is out in the open.
