Sarah learns how women can be weapons-grade haters
SOME polls are suggesting that after gaining an initial bump, McCain’s campaign is being hobbled by Sarah Palin’s vice presidential candidacy. The voters who are deserting her fastest, some of whom are even calling on her to withdraw, are mostly women.
Ah, women, the consistently, tragically underestimated constituency. What the Democrats learned during the primaries and the Republicans might now be finding out the hard way, I learned at my very academic, well-regarded all-girls high school: that is never to discount the ability of women to open a robust, committed, well-thought-out vat of hatred for another girl.
