Sexism by the Left? Nah.

I'm stricken with disbelief as I listen to David Letterman comment in his monologue how badly he would like to see Sarah Palin naked. David Letterman, late night comedian (let's use that word very loosely). These are apparently jokes, so there is no accountability or contempt for the jokester as this is purely late night comedy.

Have we made no progress in the last 30 years in how women are treated in this country? I'm no fool -- sex sells. However, when did the left in this country decide that a woman could not be attractive and successful while in the spotlight? The left would like Gov. Palin to feel ashamed of how she looks. There is also a campaign underway to condition the American populace into believing that pretty women can't possibly handle themselves in positions of power.

People, get a grip! Think long and hard about why there is such a concerted effort to smear Gov. Palin and the McCain campaign on good looks. . .

Well? Did you come up with anything? OK, I'll give it to you. They attack her looks because they can't find anything else!? She's qualified, competent, capable, and yes -- she is attractive.

The hypocrisy is alive and well when we watch how such an important 'movement' for women's rights can be completely abandoned and it's course reversed when the affected personality happens to be a Republican. Shame on you!
