Female political candidates being criticized for their looks is sexism... Chris Christie being criticized for his looks is "understandable" because his looks are "extreme".

In Australia, anything said about the appearance of Julia Gillard was labelled misogyny. Yet on TV there are constant remarks about Tony Abbot, "please cover up Tony", we don't want to see your ugly body Tony abbot. And on shows like "The Project" they even show Tony Abbot sucking a pen and suggest that it is like him sucking a dick. Tony Abbot is constantly criticized and laughed out about his Speedo swimwear. Julia Gillard suffered not anywhere near the amount of sexual humour against her, yet somehow anytime there was criticism against her or humour against her it was MISOGYNY, MISOGYNY, MISOGYNY.

That's Sarah effing Palin. She doesn't exactly have a track record of saying brilliant things.

What she's saying in the article's just plain stupid.

That's surprising. Sarah Palin is such a favorite of modern feminists and generally regarded as an influential person of ideas within that movement.

Proof that even the most hardcore right-wing traditionalists are still totally blind to sexist double standards.

I don't want that Hutt lord coming to power. If making fun of him is the only way to stop him, so be it.

“As a former prosecutor who was appointed by President George W. Bush on Sept. 10, 2001, I just want us to be really cautious, because this strain of libertarianism that’s going through both parties right now and making big headlines, I think, is a very dangerous thought,” Christie said.
