We heard all about how Hillary Clinton put lots of cracks in the glass ceiling and how good old sarah palin was going to smash right through it and become our first female vice president. When she first spoke at the Republican national convention, she came out strong. She rallied women across our country. Even those of us that didn’t agree with any of her policies.

But then, as the campaign drug on and we realized she was so woefully uninformed about the world we all started to wonder, just who was this woman that we all thought might be our first representative to such a high office? I had to really hang my head in sadness when this woman couldn’t even name a newspaper. Not one. She claimed she reads, “all of them”. So that left me wondering, how does a woman with 5 children and a husband who is responsible for running a whole state, read every newspaper known to man? My guess is she doesn’t read at all. Maybe steamy romance novels if we are lucky. Yippee!

So now that the election is over and Obama is president elect, a lot of background information on this woman is surfacing.

First off, not only was she just plain dumb, she refused to be prepped on world affairs so she could at least sound like she had some grasp of what was going on beyond Alaska.

Reports have come out about her flying off the handle at her staff, throwing things and driving some of them to tears.

Oh and my absolute favorite.. She’s a shopaholic, spending upwards of $150,000 on outfits from some of the most posh stores in NYC and it didn’t end there! She spent $30,000 on clothes for her husband, more money on clothes for her children and she had a stylist following her around for about a month to the tune of about $50,000. Just for a base line. Mccain’s foreign adviser made only about $15,000. So the guy telling mccain what was going on in the world, made far less than the girl putting mascara on sarah the diva.

So this brings me to my point. This woman didn’t bring women to the forefront, it left men saying, HOLY CRAP! Now we remember why we don’t want women in charge! If sarah had become president, she’d have tripled the national debt because she’d be at the mall every day. Screw that meeting with russia about nukes! I’m going to buy a new pair of $1000 leather pumps today! As if that wasn’t enough, she was a flamming bitch too and didn’t treat her staff with any level of respect.

So thank you sarah palin. Not for bringing about the positive change women in our country longed for, but for setting us back centuries in the eyes of males from sea to shining sea.

I think this video sums it up for all of us..
