Bush referred to the proposed $700 million "bailout" package, currently stalled in Congress.
Poehler wrapped up the sketch: "In conclusion, I invite the media to grow a pair. And if you can't, I will lend you mine."
Yeah, it's all there, from Clinton's macho-feminism, to Palin's utter lack of experience, and how neither attribute benefited or harmed either candidate respectively.
So, what do I think of Palin? Politically, she was a shrewd pick by McCain. A few pundits signaled her selection as the end of his campaign--but it has had exactly the opposite effect. It softened McCain's crotchety old man image, while drawing the attention of female voters. Palin, the mother of five, is the everymom, someone millions of mothers can relate to. Attacks on her are attacks on an entire demographic of women. But she is also charismatic and endearing. In many ways she is the anti-Hillary, who represented what Maureen Dowd once called "shoulder pad feminism."
Back in May, Dowd wrote about what women in their 30s, 40s and 50s didn't like about Hillary:
They feel that women have moved past that men-are-pigs, woe-is-me, sisters-must-stick-together, pantsuits-are-powerful era that Hillary’s campaign has lately revived with a vengeance.And they don’t like Gloria Steinem and other old-school feminists trying to impose gender discipline and a call to order on the sisters.
As a woman I know put it: “Hillary doesn’t make it look like fun to be a woman. And her ‘I-have-been-victimized’ campaign is depressing.”
