twirlgrrlI don't get it. Apparently some folks are up in arms that Oprah has decided not to interview Sarah Palin. What I don't get is this quote:
"Women in Florida helped build Oprah into the icon she is today," Linda Ivell, President of the FFRW said in a statement. "We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."
How is this the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage? Palin isn't the first female VP candidate. They do remember Geraldine Ferraro, don't they?

Have I mentioned how much I hate politics? And stupidity? And the politics/stupidity cocktail?
