funny, but true

CNN's Campbell Brown accuses McCain of sexist treatment of Sarah Palin

Wow. Campbell Brown, my hero? My world is turned upside down. :-) Seriously, a rather amazing commentary by Campbell Brown on CNN today. Huffington Post has the details. Again, wow. Here's the transcript, go to Huff Post for the video, it's worth it:

"Tonight I call on the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment," said Brown. "This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong. She is tough. She is competent. And you claim she is ready to be one heart beat away from the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff. Allow her to face down those pesky reporters... Let her have a real news conference with real questions. By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves. Free Sarah Palin. Free her from the chauvinistic chain you are binding her with. Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has just as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do. So let her act like one."

Of course, if this happened it would be a complete disaster for the McCain campaign, but not because she is a woman, but because she is completely and totally unqualified.
