Unlike Sarah Palin, however, Livni isn't exactly the paragon of patriarchal feminine gender performance -- she has medium-length basically unstyled hair, apparently doesn't wear makeup (or much makeup), and has <A HREF="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/00980/Tzipi-Livni-460_980248c.jpg" REL="nofollow">appeared dishevelled in public</A>.

It's a good thing for Russo that Meir is dead.<BR/><BR/>There's a real problem with this sentence: "Unlike Hillary Clinton, Sarah’s “First Dude” seems perfectly willing to stay home and bake cookies, if that’s what it takes." <BR/><BR/>The way it's written, it sounds like it's <I>Hillary</I> who should have been willing to stay home. Is that a conservative swipe at her buried in this paean to Palin?The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-75551203633907271682008-10-03T21:02:00.000-07:002008-10-03T21:02:00.000-07:00Golda Meir: Extremely intelligent, well educated, ...Golda Meir: Extremely intelligent, well educated, and quite honest.
