Shut Up, Boss

Over at Andrew Sullivan's blog, Patrick Appell gives Sullivan's Palin pregnancy conspiracy obsession the treatment such kookery deserves.

How about this one? Why would a woman go to such extraordinary lengths to conceal her daughter's pregnancy from Alaskans and then announce to the world that her daughter is pregnant without benefit of marriage when she decided to accept the VP nomination?

I think my husband's theory about fluoridated city water causing brain damage may be on the mark.

You couldn't pay me to hit a link to Sullivan's blog. Can we put him on 'ignore'?

Who cares? Barbie Palin is not competent to run for national office. Her knowledge base is very limited. We've had enough incompetence with the Bush administration. Romney or Jindal are much better alternatives.

Sullivan's bizarre obsession with Palin's pregnancy is rife with Freudian overtones. To say nothing of misogyny. In fact much of the hatred some men have for Sarah is about misogyny. Some men can deal with a smart mannish woman like Hillary, but somehow cannot handle a smart womanly woman. I leave it to the shrinks to make sense of such neurosies.

Wendy, I still think it is more about ideology: Bob hates SoCons and thinks he can get away with attacking Sarah as a woman. Sexism.
