Then again, what liberal Democratic women in politics DON’T get the wingnuts steamed up? Often the point of unhingedness? They seem perfectly OK with female politicos who toe the RW line - and the more reflexively and mindlessly the better (case in point: Sarah Palin).
There are very few, if any, successful Right Wing women politicians whom one can describe as ‘smart’. Palin, they liked because she’s brimming with resentment and they wanted to fuck her reasonably attractive, in a generic sort of way.
Even well-educated wingnut women are most attractive to them when they abandon intellect and go for emotion - think Ann Coulter.
