Dear Sarah, Dear Sister (Repost)
editors note: I attended a function full of Democratic women, last night, Aug. 24, 2009 and the main topic among the women was still "that crazy" Sarah Palin. It seems a good time to re-visit Izarradar's wonderful post from October, 2008. nh
They laugh at your voice, your accent. They make fun of how great you look, and how many kids you have. They smirk because you played the flute in a beauty contest, and strutted your stuff in a swimsuit. They say you’re dumb, you didn’t go to an Ivy League school, and God forbid you didn’t even have a passport until last year. You’re small town, from a small, unpopulated state, scrutinized, belittled, and scorned.
On the issues, you and I don’t agree.
But every time they laugh at you, they laugh at me. Every time they call you dumb, my I.Q. is questioned. When they make fun of you, they make fun of me. When they attack your family, they attack mine. When they comment on how you look, my looks are also ridiculed.
