from the sublime to the ridiculous

Last night I listened to Obama's speech on my way home from work (and caught the last bit on TV when I got home). I was impressed and inspired, moved by the historical moment, full of hope for the future of the country.

Then this morning...

McCain: I'd like to present my inexperienced, anti-choice VP. She has girly parts! Isn't she great?

I *suppose* it's a measure of progress that we girly-parts-having Americans are suddenly deserving of pandering tokenism. Not so long ago they wouldn't have bothered.

At least we won't have to hear the "experience" argument so much any more.

I guess that's a bright side of sorts!
