As for sexist attacks on Sarah Palin& #39;s intelligence: Let& #39;s remember that she was savaged for her interviews with Katie Couric, in which she very much did not say Thighland or that of course she& #39;d take help from the Russians or ffs personmanwomancameraTV:
If Donald Trump knows about Ledbetter and considers himself a feminist—or has even been asked about these subjects—I will eat a MAGA hat.
Was this kind of sentence structure, self-awareness, or decent conversational rhythm known to Dick Cheney or Dan Quayle?
Remember THIS was the interview that proved she was an irredeemable airhead, absolutely beneath contempt.
And she was called a loathsome neophyte — when she was a sitting state GOVERNOR.
She was fakey & corny—but ffs not a game-show host like Trump—& I disagreed w/her on most things. But she was a garden-variety politician, & yet framed for all time as a bimbo.

And this one actually SERVED as VP.
That& #39;s Dan Quayle.
My point is not that Palin is brilliant. It& #39;s that she& #39;s no dumber than the Republican men who (a) actually served as president or VP, including Quayle, GWB & Trump, and (b) arguably smarter and less horrible (certainly than Cheney).

In replies, I& #39;m seeing lasting anger that she couldn& #39;t name periodicals she read. Her interview with Couric was an intelligence test, which I never saw administered to, say, GWB. And GWB, who was a damn bloodthirsty POTUS, is not considered anywhere near the evil bimbo Palin is.
Seeing anger that she never ran for office again, also typical of ex-VPs — and some who lose on the ticket, like Kem). Also complaints she entered the private sector. Maybe controversial but reality TV > Cheney& #39;s private armies. Bonus: she also never accidentally SHOT A FRIEND.
For those who still despise her: good news! Unlike Quayle (Cerberus Capital), Dole (Viagra, Russia ties) & Cheney (no words), Palin& #39;s career & reputation have been ground into dust. So if it& #39;s not sexism that snuffed her out, if she& #39;s just the worst of them, justice has been done
P.S. This is all to say that when Biden announces his (presumably) female running mate, it& #39;s very likely even Democrats are going grill her harder than they did Tim Kaine, & find opportunities for sexist attacks. She will be "a cop," or too hawkish, or too inexperienced.
