The Word on McCain from London



I just saw the McNeil Lehrer Report discussing Obama at the Democratic convention.... how in the world can anyone compare Gov. Palin, a former beauty queen, to Obama, a Harvard Law School Graduate, who was president of the Harvard Law Review? - the journalist from Pennsylvania who angrily said both Palin and Obama were equally not experienced must have been asleep when he was speaking. 

The woman journalist from Tampa said that Michelle Obama was a liability to her husband because she was seen as aggressive and assertive? Since when are women supposed to be quiet? Especially a woman with an Ivy League legal education?

The woman from Tampa reminded me of those things I read when I was researching the cemetery book - like the 1936 University of Texas dissertation on plantations in Texas that said a certain black state representative from Texas (in the 1890s) was too assertive and haughty.

Truthfully, both parties fudge and play their games, but these kind of maneuvers are disgusting.

If Palin is only a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, you can take it another way, considering McCain's history with women, his wife should be careful.

a word from the London Guardian:

P.S. Take a look at Palin's 2008 hairdo, it looks like the hair of a woman belonging to the Jehovah's Witnesses (or similar fundamentalist religious denomination)
