Sarah Palin has Hot Librarian Vibe for Late Night Host.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh-lW2opLyQ&feature=related
The above clip is from the Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS over a year ago.
Craig has been waiting for his citizenship to come through. Until then he has had a few state governors offer him honorary state citizenship. Sarah Palin actually sent her offer by video...and what an offer it was. (it had Craig almost drooling).
Not only does she 'blaspheme' by making cross gestures while deeming him a citizen, she also uses some interesting adjectives to entice him to visit. "We will let you partake of rich succulent Alaska salmon..."
For one who claims her boundless evangelical faith she is really edging the line. Is this any way for a governor to act?
Now lets look at the feminist aspect of this for a moment. She has been around the block, she knows she is pleasant to look at. So why the hell does she encourage this kind of thing? Far from being a feminist...she is perfectly ok with Craig using her attractiveness as comedy.
There is just no way a late night punchline can be a heartbeat away from the presidency....please tell me this is not possible.

Sorry, I think we'd be blamin the victim a little if we complained there. She was brisk and charming, but the lechery in that clip is alllllllll Craig's.

Even if that is the case Alex, do you not think she watched this episode? I bet you a dollar to donuts that she was laughing along with all of her friends and relatives when it aired. I am sure she did not contact Craig and let him know how offended she was, because she was not.
The only way feminism has come as far as it has is when women stand up and say "That is not acceptible. It is not funny, it is contemptible.
But I have and idea that Sarah thinks that is whining and us feminists should just shut up and take it and get a sense of humor.
