You mean this time or all the other times? She asserted (qualifying it with personal experience) that women who dislike Palin are liberal, fat, and ugly. In the real world, that is not the case, despite what CW might have found in her personal experience (LOL!). In fact, I know some conservative women who aren't too fond of the VP pick. One doesn't have to be liberal, fat, or ugly to realize that Palin is not qualified for the job. One must only need to possess a brain.
