adiva_calandiaStatements About Sarah Palin That Enrage Me Regardless of Political Leanings, by Me, age 19 and 5/6
"Yeah, she was governor of all five people in Alaska!" (Classmate, Directing II. In re: a woman quoted in the New York Times as hailing her twenty months as governor as more experienced than Obama.)
"She's a cunt." (Other classmate, Feminist Lit class. In re: Palin in general.)
. . . Wow, ten and a half hours later that second one still makes me want to punch something for about three different reasons.

The actual discussion of her in class was still heated, but actually rather balanced in terms of people arguing that she could be taking feminist actions -- say, governing while raising five kids -- and not be feminist -- say, attempting to pass legislation about reproductive rights that takes them away (although the whole ideas of feminist = pro-choice and feminist = liberal were also called into question).
