Saturday Night Live must have some clairvoyant staff writers. The opening skit last weekend was an unlikely Palin-Clinton press conference. The AP has since reported that this comedy skit came close to a reality when both Clinton and Palin were invited to attend a rally in New York City scheduled for next week. The article entitled “Clinton Blindsided by Scheduled Event”, noted that both women were invited to attend a rally at the United Nations next week hosted by American Jewish groups in a protest against Iran’s Ahmadinejad. When Clinton’s aids learned of the event; they quickly cancelled the former candidates’ appearance.
One has to wonder how Clinton would have fared in a joint appearance with Palin. Although the media has treated both women with scorn and derision (cutting Clinton some slack when she released her delegates to Obama); an opportunity was missed - two of America’s prominent women on the same stage sending a positive message to millions of women both in the United States and abroad. It is, perhaps, because of the deep division that the left continues to promote (media and politicians), this meeting would never materialize. Imagine a scenario where despite political differences and differing ideologies, both Clinton and Palin spoke in concert against a Theocratic regime that treats their Iranian counterparts as objects of subservient bondage. Politics trumps compassion once again – only in America. Palin is scheduled to attend. Women in Politics need to set aside differences and stop deferring to their "male handlers" and the "media" in order to make a substantial difference.

That’ll never happen Tina ... and here is why ... Sarah Palin, plain and simply, totally and thoroughly irritates the American left. She irritates the media ... she irritates the Democrat Party ... because Sarah Palin is exactly what they have always said a woman should be. If they were honest about feminism, then they too would be embracing and celebrating Sarah Palin. But they're not honest! They are not about women. They are not about feminists. Well, they are about feminists ... liberal feminists. It is about liberalism. It is about the Beltway class ruling. It is about the Beltway class reacquiring its power. The Beltway class is made up of elected Democrats, the hypocritical Media, think tank people on the left, and career government employees also on the left. It’s never been about women ... it’s never been about race (i.e.: Clarence Thomas) ... it’s never been about the homeless, illegal aliens, etc, etc. It’s always been about power.
