Maybe I will, although I feel very, very cautious about bloviating on international politics these days.

the growth of the milf category i would link to her actually. i think she really focussed people on the potential of that market

that look as a fantasy object. the glasses and everything. i havent studied the history of it and i might be wrong but intuitively i think that sounds right

I actually read her autobiography from cover to cover. The best bits in the book are about Alaskan politics, in which capacity she sort of functioned like a reasonable human being. What happened after the VP pick was a different, and amazing, and terrifying, tall tale.

It's a really fascinating book. 20% insights and atmospheric description, 80% grotesque self-fashioning and vitriol

MILFs definitely predates Palin, tho she may have a contributed its growth

there's a line in the DFW essay about going to the AVN awards (sometime in the late 90s) about how there are no women in porn, just girls and MILFs

I'd bet. the majority of the blame surely has to be place on whoever was responsible for vetting/choosing her, and McCain for signing off.

America is full of crazy local politicians at all levels who at least make some kind of sense in the context of their city/county/state

I thought the HBO film about her did a pretty good job of getting that across (and Julianne Moore was pretty great in it)
