So now it's "sexist" to question Palin's lack of experience?

Carly Fiorina sure thinks it is.

“I am appalled by the Obama campaign’s attempts to belittle Governor Sarah Palin’s experience. The facts are that Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions as a Mayor and Governor than Barack Obama has made in his life. Because of Hillary Clinton’s historic run for the Presidency and the treatment she received, American women are more highly tuned than ever to recognize and decry sexism in all its forms. They will not tolerate sexist treatment of Governor Palin.”

The GOP minions have lost their fucking MINDS!

Two observations. First of all, this line of defense is rather choice coming from the same individuals that bitched and moaned about the racial undertones of the Obama campaign. Second, since the very first day we met Ms. Palin, we've been told that she's the toughest thing since the Rubix Cube...hunting caribou with her bare hands, handling automatic weapons with mobster-like ease and eating corrupt politicians for breakfast. We were told that her lack of experience would be of no consequence because of said toughness. Remember, selling an airplane on eBay is evidence of it. So, considering all of this...why the kid gloves? I would venture to guess that the individuals that she may meet in her duties as VP may not always be "nice" to her. Is Carly Fiorina going to bitch them out for being nasty? Nope.

While I agree that talking about her kid's baby bump is a non-issue (other than its glaring evidence of the failure of her right-wing, "abstinence-only" crap), her qualifications of the job are most certainly in play. To think otherwise is nonsense.

Horseshit. McCain made the mistake of asking her to be VP despite her ineptitude. Palin accepted his offer knowing that her resume was flash-paper thin resume. And because McCain failed to vet her prior to making this bold (read "stupid") decision, the media and the opposition are doing it for him. Quit bitching and deal with it.
