women
are
whores.
I apologize to my feminist friends (and be assured I count myself among you - just ask my wife) for my use of crude, sexist language, but there's nothing else that suffices.
I also apologize to all the female sex workers, who I am insulting by comparison to these Gorgons.
But all these Palin-projected starbursts popping through TV screens making wingnut boys "sit up straighter" and gag on their Cheetos are exposing yet another part of the conservative id being dredged up like rotting carrion out of a swamp.
So let's toss this revolting tidbit into the middle of the room and let the cat smell it.
As the Guardian UK commented on Michelle Bachmann (R-Wingnuttia), the likely reason the high priests of the GOP offered her up to Tweety Matthews as a human sacrifice is because, why?
Before we go any further - who is this Bachmann? She's a first-term backbencher from exurban Minneapolis who says the Lord told her to run for Congress. She declared herself "a fool for Christ" in 2006 when she announced her candidacy. By all accounts she's down with the whole rightwing Christian package: immigrants bring disease and pestilence, homosexuals want to indoctrinate straight children, and so on. Republican leadership undoubtedly pushed her out on to television because she is, as you Brits say, a looker - at least by the standards of Congress.
(Why is it that Brits can cover our elections more insightfully than the US media? Oh, right, US media, never mind... pass the cocktail weenies...)
Sarah Palin has perfected this kind of political "persuasion": a come-on like a Hooter's waitress with a wink that promises the blow job of your life if you just hand over your wallet (and in this case, your vote). It is aimed exclusively at men - in fact, a distinct subset of sexist and sexually repressed men, generally of the conservatard persuasion.
This kind of man wants a "strong" woman (or thinks he does - he wouldn't know what to do with the real thing), so long as she's physically attractive (in that Cosmo-inspired Barbie-doll way), does most of the domestic work, and agrees with him on everything to do with politics, entertainment, religion and gender. He'll barter what small bit of real agency she's allowed to have in exchange for hot, slutty (though missionary and lasting roughly five minutes) sex-on-demand.
From the woman's point of view in this kind of relationship, her mission is to make this guy a patsy, a bumbling TV-sitcom dad to be plied and wheedled into going along with whatever she wants to do with a wink and a flash of cleavage, and make him think it was his idea.
Both the male and female parties in this are behaving like sexist pigs in the real sense of the term. It's one thing for this power dynamic to exist in personal relationships, and my libertarian side says they can live their own lives as they see fit. But when this dynamic is exploited for either monetary or even worse, political gain, then it is whoredom, plain and simple, in the real sense of the term.
The endless GOP political parade of coifed, blushed, bleached, plucked, botoxed uber-bitches (of which Cindypills McCain is the archetype made flesh) seems to roll off the conveyor belt of some massive machine built with the alien technology of Kang and Kodos. It's like they're stuffing Carrie Nation and Phyllis Schafley into a combination rejuvinator/time machine where their molecules are recombined like Brundlefly and squeezed into a Pamela Anderson shaped injection-mold.
Help me.
Seeing these repugnant women vomiting up the latest fact-free GOP talking points makes the urge to get a gun and go all Elvis on the television screen almost overwhelming.
And why are they there? Because they're "lookers". They make the good ol' boy-cons get a woody. A Republican woman who looks like Janet Reno or Madeline Albright is never offered up as a spokesperson. The Republicans have become the Party of the MILF. It's the embroidered velvet glove on the hand of Skeletor.
In Sarah "wink-and-cleavage" Palin they found their apeothesis. She's the fulfillment of the GOP male wet-dream of the flirty Waffle House waitress as leader of the free world.
They weren't hired just to be "lookers." Try "hookers."
