More Go-Go than PTA Meets the Eyes

“The P.T.A. is great preparation for dealing with the K.G.B.,” President Palin murmurs to Todd, as they kiss in the final scene while she changes Trig’s diaper. “Now that Georgia’s safe, how ’bout I cook you up some caribou hot dogs and moose stew for dinner, babe?” (Maureen Dowd - NY Times column "Vice in Go-Go Boots?"

Maureen Dowd couldn’t be more sympathetic to the rigors of public office and raising a family. Not that having either should be a prerequisite for criticism or skewering. As if America hasn’t been punished enough for all the embarrassment “W” brought. If nothing has registered yet in the conscience of this great land, I think they deserve go-go boots in the White House with our commander in chief (waiting to be) briefing and dictating slightly larger mouths to feed abroad, while enfant suckles bosom with many “eye’s wide shut.” Breast feeding mothers of America really need to unite.
