Maybe I was too quick to dismiss the idea of how great the level of the double standard out there really is. Why, just what would be different if Sarah Palin had been a man rather than a woman?

If Palin was a man: Palin, Palin's handlers, Palin's supporters and the campaign would never have been able to play the games that they did. They never would have been able to deflect the criticism of her spectacularly disastrous performances in two relatively softball interviews by playing it up as the sexist, "gotcha" media bullying the poor, fragile girl like they did.

If Palin was a man: Palin's supporters, handlers and the campaign could never have built the narrative in the public square that Biden had to tread carefully in the debates and not be aggressive or he would be seen as picking on a poor, fragile girl.

If Palin was a man: We wouldn't have been subjected to her supporters desperately trying to get people to believe through interviews, advertisements and surrogates that Obama's "lipstick on a pig" remark was the evil, sexist Obama picking on and bullying the poor, fragile girl.

If Palin was a man: Palin would have been laughed out of the room for claiming that "he" thought that an interview would have gone more friendly than it did because the interviewer was another "male" and it was really unfair to blindside "him" with tough questions.

If Palin was a man: Palin would be getting called the biggest she-male and wuss on the planet right now for all of the whining and crying that she's doing now.

The McCain Campaign, Palin, the conservative talkers and a number of the faithful out there played up the fact that she was a she every chance they got in order to deflect people's attention away from the fact that Palin was a lightweight. If an interviewer was asking softball questions that she botched the answers to; it was because the interviewer was bullying her because she was a woman. If the press was talking about her lies, misstatements, baggage, flubs, hypocrisy or general lack of credibility; it was because the press was being sexist and attacking the woman in the race. If anyone wrote a serious piece on her that wasn't fawning admiration; it was because the writer was sexist and picking on the poor, fragile, china doll girl in the race.

If Palin had been a man and they had tried to pull all of that based on "his" gender the results would have been far, far more laughable than they actually were.

Palin is a lightweight, a whiner and a crybaby. If Palin was a man and was acting like she has been since hitting the national stage there would be absolutely zero talk of "his" rising star or great chances in 2012.

So, yeah, there actually is a pretty big double standard in how Palin the female is being treated VS how Palin the male would be treated.

If Palin had been a man, he wouldn't have been nominated.

No.

Christ, you're too simple for a grade-school level metaphor. Decide you didn't look dumb enough, yet?

Let me lay it out for you, in simple terms. Try to follow me here: I wasn't the "pot" or "kettle" in the metaphor, thus I wasn't calling one or the other black.

And in case ya didn't get it, the point was, someone who is a single-minded in their ideology and partisanship as you, calling someone else a political bigot for holding to their own political beleifs, is akin to the pot calling the kettle black. Hope that wasn't too much for you to grasp.

And Bush was - what again ? A brilliant shining light of intelligence and ability ? Is that why the country is doing so well ? (That's sarcasm.)

"... he wo'nt be seen as a God ..."
So, since I never thought of him as god, what am I supposed to be feeling ? Aside from a small self-satisfaction that I was right, of course.

BTW - the one reason why I am STILL delighted Obama won is not due to any supposed feelings of awe for Obama, it's Biden. As opposed to Palin.

Whozit, don't assume that just because they're more literate than you that they are smarter than you. There's a difference between intelligence and education, some of the most brilliant people in the World are uneducated. Having hung out with academic elites and the uneducated for most of my life, I find you can learn something from both groups. I fall somewhere in the middle as an educated illiterate.

I think there is a lot of similarities between the educated elite and the media elite. Both group like to have big awards functions and pat themselves on the back. Both groups believe that they're always right about everything because they surround themselves with people who agree with them on everything.

Keep up the good work Whozit, they can't stand it when they're challenged by someone they consider their intellectual inferior. You've won a few of your debates here in my opinion.

Print media was in decline long before the Internet existed. Before the Internet they had this thing called television that killed the newspapers. I think talk radio is just as responsible for the demise of newspapers as the Internet. You can get a lot of news driving to and from work listening to the radio.
