Choosing Governor Palin was the ultimate slap to the face of women. Instead of choosing one of the many brilliant women, women capable of true leadership and even headed critical thinking skills, they chose someone utterly incapable. Even after months of training, she couldn't answer questions like "What is the Bush Doctrine?" and "What magazines do you read?" Those are fluff questions.
Have you ever read the transcript of Susan B. Anthony's speech after getting caught voting before women were allowed? It's breathtaking. There are Susan B. Anthonys all around us, just waiting for the right opportunity to take a leadership position in society. There are women in the top positions in government and business around the world that could speak and more importantly think with that same brilliant clarity. Every time Sarah Palin winked at the camera during the debate, it was spitting in the face of great women.
