I’m sorry to be so sophomoric with
the title of my entry here – I know this is a place for more thoughtful
discourse – but I want to be the first to predict the next Republican meme to
try and excite male voters about Sarah Palin as McCain’s Veep choice. We all know that FOX News has a hard time not
objectifying and overly sexualizing women – so it’s just a matter of time
before Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade (or even some of their non-brunette
female staff) go off on a mindless rant over at Fox and Friends – and
inappropriately refer to Sarah Palin is a MILF.
I’m sure it will just be a
harmless and cute attempt at trying to say that she’s an attractive,
middle-aged mother – and I get that acronyms oftentimes sort of become their
own ‘words’ in a way that doesn’t necessarily draw upon the actual words that
comprise each letter – but it’s troubling nonetheless that we’ve slipped so far
as a society that it is more likely than it isn’t likely that one of our major
‘news’ networks will use such a term to describe the next potential vice
president of the United States.
I know it hasn’t happened yet –
but you know it’s coming. I can just
feel the nausea setting in now – when those words are so easily batted around
by idiotic Republicans – Sarah Palin is a MILF – and that’s reason enough to want
to have her be a heartbeat away from assuming office as our President.
So it starts tonight – Saturday,
August 30, 2008 – countdown to MILF-dom – how long will it take for Sarah Palin
to receive the title that every 40-something mother of five so deeply
desires.
