Presidential Heat
The folks over at National Review are getting quite worked up over Palin. I thought Joey Sobrino was being a little arch with his 'naughty librarian' comment, but now I realize that he was actually being subtle. Now the NRO crowd are talking about her "Paglian chthonic sexual power"* and her "unabashed embrace of her fecundity and motherhood ." Ok. If these are factors in the race, just say so.
For me, I always appreciated Golda Mier's no nonsense Brooklyn school marm fortitude. And I thought Chris Matthews was a little weird about getting a tingle up his leg every time he heard Obama speak. I am almost afraid to think what kind of meltdown he might have now.
But when they start talking about “novel problem for a presidential candidate: sexual tension with his VP” I am not sure we really want to go there.
*Paglia herself is quite charmed by Palin, but can anyone actually pronounce 'chthonic?'

Just want to note, in case you didn't know, that the "naughty librarian" appellation comes from that Irish Late Night host. I forget his name. There's a YouTube video of it somewhere; just search for "naughty librarian". It's hilarious.
^Craig Ferguson though I think he is Scottish.

Uh - and thanks too Joey, though I found it on my own.
