female political comedy is my favorite.
“In conclusion, I invite the media to grow a pair, and if you can’t, I will lend you mine.”
–Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton

I don’t like raging at women. I am a Feminist and have spent my life trying to build community, help empower women and stop violence against them. It is hard to write about Sarah Palin. This is why the Sarah Palin choice was all the more insidious and cynical. The people who made this choice count on the goodness and solidarity of Feminists.
But everything Sarah Palin believes in and practices is antithetical to Feminism which for me is part of one story — connected to saving the earth, ending racism, empowering women, giving young girls options, opening our minds, deepening tolerance, and ending violence and war.
and finally, even though Palin likes to brag about all the good she’s done for Alaska and what a homegirl she is, the anti-sarah palin rally on 9/14 in Anchorage “was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the state“, and at least 50% larger than the PRO-palin rally the same day.
