#1 "All of my women friends, a week ago Monday, were on the verge of throwing themselves out windows," an author and political activist, Nancy Kricorian of Manhattan, said yesterday. "People were flipping out. ... Every woman I know was in high hysteria over this. Everyone was just beside themselves with terror that this woman could be our president â our potential next president."

These are 'adult' women? The writer doesn't understand that while Palin reinforces the concept of equality, the 'women' portrayed in this article are the worse stereotype of an emotional immature self centered bridezilla. IT'S MY ~~WEDDING~~ AGENDA!! How dare she wear the same dress!

#3 on the verge of throwing themselves out windows

Please make sure you are at least five stories up and that there is nobody beneath you. Fly and be free!

#4 It's better than that, P2K. The last paragraph finally gets around to saying that Ms Kricorian is a coordinator for Code Pink.

Nah, no political bias there.

#5 Palin is an absolute threat to these women because they believe, no demand, that they have the one and only archetype of feminism that is permissable.

These are big city women. They cannot comprehend, nor do they want to, the sort of life in which Sarah Palin was raised. They neither understand nor condone the concept of having 5 kids, let alone one that has downs syndrome.

Palin is so out of the orbit in which these women travel that she might as well have green skin and large almond-shaped eyes. And that someone so different from them could grasp the ultimate golden ring drives them to madness.

I think it is wonderful. I so hope that Sarah Palin becomes VP because she is going to shove it down these bitches throats for a long, long time.

#7 There was a quote yesterday attributed to M. Obama that went:"...don't vote for her just because she's cute..." and then demurrly indicated she was talking about herself. well for starters she isn't on the ballot, but imagine the outrage these same women would likely feel if that quote were uttered by SP with three words changed: " ...don't vote for him just because he's black."

the whole friggin world would be in an uproar and yet MO gets a pass and these bitches get coverage also? like a previous poster said: five stories minimum. Or go to LA and sit on some train tracks.

#8 The actions of the Fed and US Treasury this week have put me on the verge, so I can kind of sympathize...

#9 Damn! My only regret is that I don't have the franchise rights for Pr0zac in Manhattan. Then I could buy AIG. And have plenty left over.

We live in a country that *contains* people like this ... but, thankfully, I don't think it is *full* of people like this. ;-)

#11 A posting on a New York-based Web site for women, Jezebel.com, spoke of unbridled anger. "What I feel for her privately could be described as violent, nay, murderous, rage," an associate editor at Jezebel, Jessica Grose, wrote just after the Republican convention wrapped up. "When Palin spoke on Wednesday night, my head almost exploded from the incandescent anger boiling in my skull."

I don't know whether to laugh out loud or light a candle at the back of the church and ask for the intercession of St. Jude in the cause of this woman's sanity and inner peace.

#12 EModerate,

You are both right & wrong.

Right that the US is not (thank God) full of these people, but,
Wrong in that the cultural trend setting institutions (Academia and Media, especially Hollywood) ARE full of people like this.

#14 Howie Carr has tagged these women "Hags from the Hamptons." Think about it the next time you hear from the 70+ "beautiful people" gaggle like Babba Walters, Sally Quinn, MoDo...
