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.
Please send me a link to the video once it has become available.
