Eve Ensler on Sarah Palin

This is a passionate op-ed from Eve Ensler on Sarah Palin. I particularly identified with this:

...everything Sarah Palin believes in and practices is antithetical to Feminism which for me is part of one story -- connected to saving the earth, ending racism, empowering women, giving young girls options, opening our minds, deepening tolerance, and ending violence and war.

I don't know anyone who has been kidded into thinking that Sarah Palin's selection is indicative of Feminism's triumphs. That is not to say that those people aren't out there, so it's good to be--and make--clear:

Sarah Palin's selection is indicative of her connections to a region with remaining oil resources and her connections to big oil companies. It's indicative of her willingness to do the wrong thing for the sake of a slick short-sighted buck.
