Crazy Grizzly Lady

Gail Collins, affectionately known here as the "Crazy Cat Lady" is EtD's Golden Goose at the New York Times. I wonder sometimes if this woman has ever written anything that wasn't demonstrably absurd.

Either way, Crazy Cat Lady tries to take on Sarah Palin this time around and fails miserably. I am no Palin zealot. I like the woman, but I far prefer others to lead the Republican ticket in 2012. (Chris Christie, for example, is a political mancrush that has me doodling little hearts in my trapper-keeper). Still, it's worth noting that Palin's limited electorate-wide popularity is tempered by extremely limited support from women. Collins takes another stab at the feminist blasphemer for the sake of the sisterhood. It's astounding how callow the criticisms of Palin are. 

Another Heaping Gob of Crazy

Lessons Learned. Already.
