My new favorite Sarah Palin picture! Update!

Okay this picture really cannot be improved on in my opinion.

And how many of you have wished that she actually had one of these surgically implanted that you could just reach up and zip closed every time she started speaking?

I know her family certainly has.

Update: I am somewhat fascinated with the response to this image that it is misogynistic.

Since this is a person who most of us would agree has caused a great deal of harm to our country through her verbal attacks on the President and the framing of complicated issues with emotional language (ie "death panels"), what is it about a visual representation of wanting her to keep her mouth closed that is considered inappropriate, or even a sexist attack?

And would that same sensitivity have been expressed if this had been a picture of Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh, or Bill O'Reilly?

I'm just curious.

Update 2: Still sexist?

    2. Just my opinion, but I disagree that this is a misogynistic or anti-woman image. The same image would be appropriate on Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or any number of other blowhards and gasbags out there.

      I don't wish she would shut up because she is a woman. I wish she would shut up because she is a hateful, vicious, ignorant, destructive moron. I also don't see it as violent, but a verbal portrayal of "zip it", as in shut up. Which I wish she would do.

      I didn't have that reaction at all. I thought the zipper was totally appropriate given her constant ignorant and harmful rhetoric. I see nothing misogynistic or brutal about it. Yes, it is completely demeaning and she happens to be a she, so it likely will strike a nerve with some that think we should not treat women this way. It does bother me that many think we should not respond strongly to her hate mongering because she is a woman. I liked the image and I really like to discussion around it.

      Though, I have to add that I am offended by the hateful crap meant to attack other commenter such as that slung by 9:10. You, my dear, are on the same wavelength as the Palins. In fact, you stink up this blog so much that I consider you, and those that respond in the like, as just another breed of troll. I can easily see you as one of the Palins or her supporters commenting as you do just to discredit the dialog here. Tell me why the world would be any better to replace her hate with yours. The Palins and the extreme right work to discredit any opinion that is not their own. You are doing the same, and achieving a great imitation of a flying monkey in the process. If fact, I think you need a zipper, or (to silence your ugly input here) perhaps a pair of cement mittens. Before you respond with some oh so creative suggestion concerning what I should do to myself... back at ya jerk.

  6. How is this misogynistic?

    There is nothing generally anti-woman in the picture or Gryphen's description, nothing that shows that she should have a zipper on her mouth because she is a woman. The zipper metaphor is not inherently anti-woman. It does not have a misogynistic history (as some metaphors do, like some images in the fashion industry of women in trash cans or depicted as only torsos).

    The same image could be put on Rick Santorum or Rush Limbaugh or any other public figure we'd like to shut up when they spout out idiocy.

    You could argue it's a violent image, but because it's on a woman doesn't mean it can be included in the category of "violence against women."

    This is what drove me crazy in the 2008 election, that criticizing Palin was on its face, misogynistic. She is a woman, true, but criticism of her policies, experience, intelligence, etc. was not because she was a woman. It was because she was unqualified and dangerous.

    That's not saying some criticism of her was anti-woman in general, but the majority was not and any blanket statement was ridiculous and meant to cut all any criticism of her (which was her party's plan).

      I think that if Bristol were back on DWTS, with their new dance-off of the bottom two teams (I call it the Bristol fix), she would get the boot early on. It would be sort of a redemption season; Brandy, etc stays and Bristol goes, the way it should have been. The truth is, Bristol could have done well if she'd tried. She does have rhythm and she could learn a dance- though Mark gave her overly simple routines. Her whole problem was her shitty attitude and poor work ethic. She barely put anything into it.. it was like there was something in her way. Huh, I wonder what that was? I just loved it when, during one of the interviews, she admitted not really trying after the whole season of touting her supposed strong work ethic. Yes, the hypocrisy runs deep with this family. So yeah, go ahead and give it another go Brissy- your mom's flying monkeys (the few remaining) will not be able to save you week after week this next time around. You know, its really sad that this young woman feels her options are so limited that she is seeking fortune through infamy.

      The only time I saw DWTS was once by accident. I was at my Moms and she wanted to watch the show. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about as I don't watch much television.

      Bristol was on as a gorilla. Dancing to some Monkees song.

      She was awful. I almost felt pity for her.

      Yet she (and Sarah) got what they wanted from DWTS: more infamy so they'd still be relevant and in the news.

    I also like the zippered Rush.

    Also, ahem, where's Rush's children after he's on his fourth marriage to what I assume are biologically fit women and women who are biological women so they could have children.

    I keep hearing* how marriage is really only about procreation and should be only for people who are having children.

    Come on Rush, get with it. Four marriages should mean at least four kids by now (of your own, not adopted or might happen someday speculation kids).

    Though perhaps Rush has four children in the Dominican Republic and other places where he's done sex tourism.

    *from the people who say keep marriage as it is, one man + one woman, with over a 50% divorce rate and other problems, so gays and lesbians cannot have marriage equality.

    Hmm, Rush likes calling people sluts. He should look in the mirror and see a really big slut. Him.

    ---
    PS, Gryphen, the Sarah Palin zippered mouth is also wonderful. Nice to not her her whine in the news as much lately. Yeah, Sarah, most people ignore you, change the channel or just laugh at you. She should have starred in the film, Idiocracy. Along with some others in her family (Todd and Bristol).
