The Sexualization of Sarah Palin

By now, most of you know about John McCain's VP choice, Sarah "Barracuda" Palin.  Ever since she was tapped for the VP slot, many people, pundits and idiots alike, have raised the issue of gender discrimination against Palin.  Which, I've found both amusing and hilarious because the most sexist statements I've heard about Palin have come from the Conservative side of the aisle.

This one, however, is quite revealing:

Palin . . . projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.

Emphasis added.  "Hey, I think she just winked at me."  It's sexist as heck, but it proves a point: we now know that sexually frustrated Conservative males are the number one consumers of porn in the U.S.
