One of the things that really, really bothers me about the article linked in the OP is how men talk about Sarah Palin. It's like they all have these massive hard-ons for her that they're trying to disguise as harmless crushes. Frankly, it's disgusting, but I think it's something Palin has tried to actively cultivate--look at the VP debate, with all that awful winking.
From the article:

Kristol again pushed Palin when asked whom McCain should pick: “Sarah Palin, whom I’ve only met once but I was awfully impressed by—a genuine reformer, defeated the establishment up there. It would be pretty wild to pick a young female Alaska governor, and I think, you know, McCain might as well go for it.” On July 22nd, again on Fox, Kristol referred to Palin as “my heartthrob.” He declared, “I don’t know if I can make it through the next three months without her on the ticket.”

Jay Nordlinger, a senior editor at National Review, had a more elemental response. In an online column, he described Palin as “a former beauty-pageant contestant, and a real honey, too. Am I allowed to say that? Probably not, but too bad.”
