That of course is Tammy Bruce’s trademark slogan, but it also applies perfectly well to another woman in politics. So it’s not entirely surprising to find Tammy making “a feminist’s argument for McCain’s VP“:
On the day McCain announced her selection as his running mate, Palin thanked Clinton and Ferraro for blazing her trail. A day later, Ferraro noted her shock at Palin’s comment. You see, none of her peers, no one, had ever publicly thanked her in the 24 years since her historic run for the White House. Ferraro has since refused to divulge for whom she’s voting. Many more now are realizing that it does indeed take a woman – who happens to be a Republican named Sarah Palin.
Read the whole thing, which ran in the San Francisco Chronicle, a paper and a town not exactly known for celebrating a wide diversity of opinions. As Tammy noted when she emailed the link, “If the comments section for their online version is any indication my argument has upset a few on the left.” But then, it doesn’t take much to do that these days. (These days being the last forty years or so…)
