Is Sarah Palin a Feminist?
The Sexist provides a full run-down of our expedition to Reston for Sarah Palin’s book talk at BJ’s Warehouse Club.
What does Sarah Palin mean for women? Is she a feminist? Watch this Washington City Paper exclusive and find out.
One highlight — According to Loretta Teal of Fairfax, VA, "She’s more godly, loving…" than your typical feminist.
Do read The Sexist’s piece on this which really takes stock of “’newer’ feminism, or Sarah Palin feminism, or anti-feminist feminism" — i.e. the baddies who think Palin represents feminism. Whatever you call it, it smells fishier than a halibut stuck in a off-shore oil rig, sidetracked on its journey from Russia to Alaska.
Now if only I could finish this darn cartoon about the wicked witch from Alaska.

What's more rogue than speaking at BJ's Warehouse Club?
Via Puke Immediately:
Last weekend Mideast by Midwest, the Sexist, and I schlepped all the way out to Fairfax in the snow to interview folks at the Sarah Palin book signing. Because this was primarily the Sexist’s project, we asked them what they thought Palin represented for women and whether or not they thought she was a feminist.
...
Anyway, this is only a small portion of the interviews. For the story and more vid go here: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/
While we didn't get to catch a glimpse of Sarah (who was accompanied by her hubby and Greta van Sustren), I'm glad we indulged in a slice of real America on that blizzardy Saturday morning.
Should have a cartoon on Sarah's appearance at BJs by the end of the week -- I can't decide if I should draw her with this Fidel hat and shimmering cross or not. Stay 'tooned.

Pssst. Dick.
Watching Al Jazeera English following President Obama's Afghanispeech, I was struck by Riz Kahn's question about where Special Representative Richard Holbrooke fits into all of this mess. Steve Clemons pointed out Holbrooke was "off skiing for the weekend"and absent from last week's state dinner. Well, my sources aren't that good but I'll stay tuned to the cable and keep you posted.
