I heard about that. I thought maybe instead they could use ZZ Top, "She's Got Legs" ...

...the song’s co-writer, Roger Fisher (who dated Nancy back in the day), has come up with an ingenious plan to cope with the problem. Fisher is a strong supporter of the Democrats, and has decided to donate some of the royalties from “Barracuda” to Barack Obama. "With my contribution to Obama's campaign, the Republicans are now supporting Obama," he said.

I love it!

While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."

Anyway, shouldn't this be Bob "Barracuda" Barr's theme song?

Typical - but very funny too.

OK I try to avoid this (seeing as I'm not allowed to vote), but i'm just watching her TV interview...
...and I'm a little concerned.

I can understand how the idea of her as VP looks cool -a young woman with an attitude... looks like balls from afar, but is actually just the attitude of an aging cheerleader with republican parnts...

BUT

as prez? remember VP becomes Prez if the Prez is incapacitated -and that's not exacty unlikely....

FFS she thinks she can be a sahm to a downs syndrome baby and VP at the same time -will she be changing diapers as her finger hovers over the red button? Or will she hand iver to nanny -which is fine, but don't call yourself a full-time mom.

I'm not anti women policicians at all -I think a female pres would be an awesome thing for this country -it certainly did wonders for the Uk and I'm not a Thatcher fan. But this woman? no.

You still sound like she can't be both a mother and a VP or President. That is why she has a supporting husband to pick up the slack when she is working, just like any other head of state with children. It is just a role reversal. Hell, people keep forgetting that Pelosi is the mother of 5. No double standard there.

Return of the Mommy Wars
Democrats v. Palin
by Henry Payne

Detroit
"I am shocked," says Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), after learning of top Democrats' remarks that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is selfishly seeking office at the same time she is mother to a Down syndrome baby. "Their comments are contrary to what women have fought for," continued McMorris Rodgers who 16 months ago gave birth to a son, Cole, diagnosed with Down syndrome. Of all the attacks against Sarah Palin since John McCain named her his running mate August 29, the most vicious have been accusations that Palin is sacrificing family for career--remarks that conjure not signs of change but the reactionary language of a bygone era.

The accusations have been all the more extraordinary because they have come from Democrats and media allies closely identified with women's independence. Republicans have angrily responded that the Democratic offensive is sexist. Fearful of a backlash from women voters, the Obama campaign and others distanced themselves from such remarks--even as Democratic surrogates continued to plant the poisonous seed in the media.

The question of whether a woman must choose between career and family has been taboo in politics. Not one of the politicians interviewed for this article has encountered the question in their own campaigns, or any other for that matter. Indeed, the Democratic veep nominee, Joe Biden, has been praised for heroically raising his two young children as a single father after the death of his first wife, even as he kept his Senate seat and commuted 3 hours every day to his Delaware home.

I was surfing when I saw the interview. I was half-laughing to myself, watching her leaning forward, using the interviewer's name over and over, avoiding answers with awkward responses, and figured the footage was from several years ago, and "I bet she is embarrassed to have that airing now". Then I found out it was current. Nope, I'd love to have a woman in office, but not her. Please! I'm beginning to think her main purpose is really for men to say, "We gave you a female in an important office and see what she did? She failed! No more women candidates in major office, your pretty little heads can't handle the pressure or power. Now get back to your kitchens and bedrooms."

Shawnee123 · 09-12-2008, 08:18 AM

I love women! Women rock!

But no, this one does not impress me to the level I would want my future president to impress me.

Trilby · 09-12-2008, 08:39 AM

I really, really, really dislike Sarah Palin on nearly every level. No--on EVERY level. The aging cheerleader business is right on target, monster. An aging, scary, right-wing, pro-gun, anti-choice bitter ex-prom queen with a background in sports reporting? Oh, my. No.

having Palin as veep is like having Brownie head FEMA. a disaster waiting to happen.

Flint · 09-12-2008, 08:42 AM

Sure, but still... I'd bend her over.

Shawnee123 · 09-12-2008, 08:46 AM

That's the sort of comment I hear all over the place. Seriously, guys, fuckability is not good veep criteria.
