Quote of the Day -- Laura Schlessinger

I wondered when somebody on the right would raise this matter. Actually, I guess it happened last week, but I hadn't known it.

I’m stunned - couldn’t the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn’t want a “mature” woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age. But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?

A lot of these same folks who are singing the praises of Governor Palin are same ones who fought ERA and said that a woman’s place was home raising her children, unless she was on welfare.

Really of course whichever parent stays with and tends to the kids should be a couple’s decision, but I guess we should be glad that at least one of them, “Doctor” Laura is at least being consistent.

Of course, ERA opponent Phyllis Schlafly was a working lawyer with children and Doctor [??] Schlessinger maintained a career even with a kid, even bragging that she was her kid's mother.

I have never heard what, if anything, Gov. Palin has said about ERA or other issues which have concerned feminists except for the life/choice matter and it is hard to fault her for being more liberal than the liberals on that, but I know that what is best for a woman is not always best for women.
