I think Tina Fey represented the average secular Jewish woman’s response to Palin to a tee.

Just having a degree in anything does not make you bright. I am not writing to pillory Palin. I’ll leave that to Cato this thread. But I suppose I could dig up a couple of dozen major Palin gaffes that really make her look like a dimmer bulb than Dan Quayle. However, that’s not really the point.

You see when Palin goes off mocking “fruit fly research in Paris France” all of those Israeli girls who studied science, see her as an ignorant hick. When she goes off on creationism, she gets seen as a particularly stupid hick and a religious nut to boot. When she goes off on abortion, she is seen as anti-feminist.

But I think the biggest issue for Jewish women - particularly the ones in Israel that I know, is that Palin loves the guns and loves to present herself as some sort of gun toting frontier woman.

Jews hate guns for the most part - particularly Jewish women. They see carrying guns as a really grim thing that they have to do to protect people that they love. They think that toting them because it is cool to do so is barbaric. They also get a sort of - “Oh yeah Sarah, you’re sooo tough with that gun, come play in my neighborhood attitude.”
