(A compilation of the kooky, nasty, nutty and dangerous things Sarah Palin says and does.)

“It’s no wonder Michelle Obama is telling everybody you better breastfeed your baby-yeah, you better-because the price of milk is so high right now.”

—Palin speaking at the Long Island Association in New York last Thursday

“Nobody is more qualified to multitasking and doing all the things that you need to do as president than a woman, a mom.”

—Palin at the same event.

Couple things.

One of the curious things about Palin is that she really does have a mean streak, and she enjoys ripping into people. This, I think, will get her into trouble if she doesn’t curb it.

Two, this argument about the qualifications of mothers is just stupid. Being the president of the United States and being a mother really have nothing in common, and there are lots of things that better qualify you to be president than being a mother—or father, for that matter. Will anyone fall for this?

There’s also an interesting tension between her repeated jabs at Michelle Obama—she’s previously criticized the First Lady’s emphasis on child nutrition—and her rhetoric of motherhood. She’s a mean mom, I guess. Which is a novel thing in a presidential candidate.
