Finally, An Intelligent Point About Palin

I've grown so tired of the non-issues being discussed during the lead up to this election that I planned to post a tirade here this week. But, I just ran across one article that saved me some of the work.

While I'm equally fed up with the Republican and Democratic smear campaigns lately, one thing that frustrates me most is the discussion of Sarah Palin's motherhood as if it has anything to do with her suitability for the VP spot. Give me a break.

Here's a great opinion piece from the Post: The Right and Wrong Questions for Sarah Palin.

The author's best point is this:

"It is condescending and sexist to focus on Palin’s family. Either she’s ready to be president or she’s not. That’s what we need to know."

I couldn't agree more.
