Yes, I'm insulted, too. Thanks for articulating this.
She's "Queen Bee" -- the woman who takes over the PTA and establishes her little clique solely to entrench herself in a position of power to benefit her own kids and the kids of the others in that clique. Oh, wait -- she did that? Yeah, she did. The $20M hockey rink/sports complex in a town that doesn't have a sewer system. Just... wow. The kind of women who like her and will vote for her are the women who are just like her -- the Stepford Bitches. There are enough of them out there. Perhaps fortunately, most of the SBs were already going to vote for McCain.
But as to why McCain chose her -- I think her inexperience was an asset here. He didn't want someone with enough experience to contradict him. He wanted someone he could mold, form. Reminds me of my college stalker; one of the big red flags about him was that he said he wanted to date a younger woman (he was about 30) because their opinions weren't so set and they could be guided. Ugh, no thanks, dude! Talk about a complete lack of respect.
