After mocking Sarah Palin for a while for this, Kim and I speculated about how Sarah Palin actually would bring Katie Couric examples of John McCain pushing for more regulation. We thought it might go a little something…like this.
I am not a Palin fan (uh duh), but you know who really, really hates her? Dave. Normally he doesn’t give a shit about politics (living in Canada makes that easy, since our system and politicians are totally boring), but the fact that anyone even cares enough about Sarah Palin to pay attention to her makes him hate America a little bit. For me, it’s been easy to ignore her because she’s been under wraps; I think I’ve given just about as many interviews to the press since last month as Palin has. But even I couldn’t ignore how brutal she was talking to Katie Couric last night. Does it make me a bad feminist to say I wanted to punch her? She’s like the campaign’s answer to Heidi and Spencer.

I’d be more concerned if you didn’t want to punch her. It doesn’t make you a bad feminist; it makes you a sentient being.
If for no other reason, I hate her because she makes Katie Couric appear remotely competent. I also hate her because she makes me appreciate that at least Ann Coulter isn’t as stupid as a bag of moose antlers.
As a man, I’m not allowed to punch her, or even suggest that I might want to, but I will offer to distract her so she doesn’t see your punch coming.
If you want to punch her, you’re obviously judging her on her qualities as a human being, without regard for gender, so therefore, you are a good feminist. I got an A in Logic.
To steal from Dave, she makes me want to punch babies, and I’m both a feminist AND a school psychology student, so that’s really bad.
