My dear friend Alice Parris has written an insightful essay concerning McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. Parris suggests something I hadn’t thought of. Read on.
“Cindy McCain should be shaking in her boots,” writes Parris. “She is getting older and although I am certain that Governor Sarah Palin is above such things, McCain may not be above an ‘affair of the heart.’ How else can you explain meeting someone one time before asking them to step into the most powerful position in the world, should your aged-heart stop beating? His first wife was a beauty queen, until tragedy struck her, then, he replaced her (while still married) with the then, young, heiress Cindy McCain. There is never a public display of sincere affection between these two. You could not wipe the ebullient smile off of McCain’s face, as the pretty Governor Palin stood at his side.”
Parris is known for her prophetic writing and poetry. Read “For a Fresh Gust of Sea-Wind” in the Dead Mule.

Gosh, Helen, I’m just so glad that you folks are there for those stupid evangelicals who can’t tell the difference between a decision made politically and one made sexually. I can only hope and pray that the entire state of Alaska awakens to its true motives, also–obviously, they all wanted new mistresses and needed a hawt new governor to fulfill their sexual fantasies, too.
Obviously, an intelligent, good-looking female is nothing more than a sex symbol. Hillary couldn’t be that; but let’s just go ahead and attack any conservative, beautiful, intelligent woman by reducing her to a sex object.
