Remember when, only hours after the Sarah Palin announcement, someone posted the following image:
And we all got quite a chuckle?
Well, how many of you saw this today:
I watched it twice.
The most disturbing thing about the video, to me, is not his insistence on being introduced to her, nor the lecherous, smarmy smile, nor even the creepy lust in the eyes. It's the fact that McCain actually, honestly was a fan of the show, even referencing a specific episode. For as much as has been said about McCain's objectification and disrespect for women and women's rights, the visual image of McCain sitting on a luxurious couch in one of his many mansions, getting physically aroused at this poster child of hot idiocy, is almost too disturbing for words.
Now his Presidential choice makes more sense than ever. His only requirement of women is that they be hot, and dumb. With maybe a little drug habit thrown in too. (Perhaps that's the big secret in Palin's still-unreleased medical files, n'est-ce pas?)
Please. Please. Make it stop.
