add to cart   close window

The author of the article discusses the issues surrounding the selection of U.S. Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and how the media attention on her pregnant daughter Bristol, her husband, and her hair and eye glasses takes the focus off the important questions concerning her nomination. These include her stances on rape laws, book censorship, and foreign relations with Russia.
