The Woman Who Cried "Sexist"

Apparently Sarah Palin found time in her schedule between getting her hair done and hunting to pose in short shorts for The Runner’s World, but was she offended when Newsweek used the photo on their cover? You betcha!

Palin is the only person in the world who whines more than Veruca Salt. Where does she come off calling Newsweek’s use of a photograph she willingly posed for sexist? No one calls TMZ sexist for publishing candid pictures of President Obama shirtless in a post titled “Barack Hard Abs.”

Palin argues she posed that way for the photographs in a different context – for a politician who wants to be taken seriously, there is no right context or justification for a glamour shot pose, pigtails and skin tight shorts. But nice excuse. Either way, running in pants shouldn’t be a foreign concept for people living in the cold state of Alaska.

How is it that a former US governor doesn’t know anything about copyright and public figure laws?

Palin loves playing the victim, but let’s be real, she’s a media whore who wants to promote her book that for some reason has the #4 sales rank on barnesandnoble.com and will be used to level wobbly tables nation-wide.

It’s hard to believe an ex-beauty queen who used to prance around stages in bikinis is actually offended by Newsweek’s cover. It doesn’t matter what magazine publishes the photograph, at one point, she had been fine with the publication.

And it doesn’t matter what she wears, she’s still an idiot.

This is the same woman who said, “The difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick,” at the Republican National Convention. And Newsweek is sexist? According to Huffington Post, the photo directors responsible for the cover were both women, anyways.

MSNBC reported Palin called Tina Fey’s impersonation of her on Saturday Night Live sexist over a year ago. Conclusion: Sarah Palin’s definition of “sexist” is anyone who doesn’t like her.

No one hears her complain about all the comments on her Facebook from men calling her “hot” and “sexy.” She doesn’t find the popular “Nailin Palin” t-shirts offensive either. Seems to me like she’s playing the gender card but trying to have it both ways.

Scream “sexism” all you want, Palin, just don’t trip in your stilettos as you wink at the camera.
