Sir Charles:

I stand by it.

Not my words, but theirs. Or not their words, but their
thoughts, as I see it.

As I said, I detest the word, as applied politically.

But I truly believe that the RNC is thinking of Ms. Palin in those
terms and is objectifying her as such.

And you'll note the asterisks. I just can't bring myself to
utter it.

They're using her.

Hence the term.

But I'm glad you're horrified.

Kind of sums up how horrific a decision it is; and how shallow.

That isn't all she is to me; no woman is. But sadly, I think it
is what she is to the RNC who are packaging her up.
