In honor of tonight's debate, I thought I would post some of my favorite Palin-related links. Some are funny, some are very serious. While Palin has certainly proven to be very mock-able, she is also a seriously unqualified candidate who's election would, I believe, harm the people of the United States greatly.
I was very moved by Eve Ensler's essay "Drill, Drill." Ensler goes beyond the Democrat/Republican divide or Obama/Palin and instead addresses what it truly means to be feminist - whether you are male or female: Drill, Drill
The Daily Show hits Palin's narrow-minded hypocrisy right on the head in this hilarious/enraging skit: Palin Is "Able To Make The Choice She Doesn't Really Want Other People To Have"
Here one of my favorite blogs Jezebel, takes on the question of how to critique and mock Sarah Palin while being aware of the rampant sexism that has been aimed at her from both parties: Please, People: Stop Making Me Defend Sarah Palin
And the classic, the amazing, Tina Fey (and Amy Poehler!):
Fey's first Palin skit
SNL's sendup of the Palin/Couric interview
"Sen. Joe Biden from Delaware and Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, the vice presidential nominees of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, will debate each other at 8 p.m. (CDT) Oct. 2 in the Washington University in St. Louis Athletic Complex." http://debate.wustl.edu/home.php
