Hillary must be burning up right now.  According to a new study, women running for top offices need to appear competent and attractive. For male candidates, seeming competent may be enough [AP].  So it seems that our own prejudices have created Sarah Palin's political career.  We'll cast a vote for a woman as along as we could have a beer with her and get a boner.

God, what do you tell your daughter,  "study hard and hope that you have the right bone structure, shiny hair, and killer smile"?  I can't take it.  We have to promote more women like Rachel Maddow who does't fit the current definition of beauty, has a brain, and uses it.  

Sex, Politics & More Sex
