Sarah Palin is the Real-Life Not Ready for Prime Time Player -- She Does Not Compare to Hillary!

Is it not a wonderful thing that the McCain campaign, led by his Bush henchmen and henchwomen have discovered the word "sexist." Since they discovered Sarah Palin and her ultra right wing views, they have tried to shield her from questions or criticism with the word "sexist" thrown around like confetti at their convention. It is nice that they are now such seemingly strong feminists (and have been so for all of two full weeks).

Now the McBush campaign, ever so audacious, is slamming Tina Fey’s impersonation of Governor Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live,” while Cindy McCain is calling out the ladies of “The View.” They are doing their best to censor any criticism. How much farther will they go if half of the country stays brain dead and votes them into office?

“SNL” had its highest rated season premiere since 2002, but some members of the McCain campaign were not laughing. Millions of viewers tuned in to see “30 Rock” star and “SNL” alum Tina Fey portray Sarah Palin alongside Amy Poehler, who did her Sen. Hillary Clinton impression.

“The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial,” McCain advisor Carly Fiorina told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday. “I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes I would say sexist.”

The Fey/Poehler sketch satirized such topics as Palin’s religious beliefs and foreign policy.
“Just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance. She has a lot of substance,” Fiorina said.

Give me a break! First, Sarah Palin, supposedly so qualified to be President, cannot be interviewed except when the campaign "approves" of the interviewer, and she has yet to have a full-scale press conference. Now she cannot be satirized like every other major candidate for office has been. The fact is, Hillary Clinton, with eight years in the U.S. Senate, eight years as First Lady, and having done amazingly well in one of the most challenging Presidential primary campaigns in history, IS far more substantial than Palin. No question about it!

The truth is clear in the McBush campaign SNL debate: Sarah Palin is the Real-life, Not Ready for Prime Time Player!
