Hollandaise, Anyone?

Mrs. Potomac hit another one out of the park at the dinner table tonight. She has a rather acute ear, my wife, and she noticed that Maureen Dowd, et. al., were having a hard time with the notion that Sarah Palin was not toeing the feminist line but in Dowd's view was benefiting greatly from the sacrifices made by her sisters. Given the screeching from Gloria Steinem and others, it would be hard not to notice this unhappiness, right?

But being Mrs. Potomac, she was all about the value-added proposition. She noted that it wasn't entirely consistent for a man, whom others (not Dr. Potomac, course. He would never utter such a politically incorrect thought) had suggested had benefited just a teensy-weensy bit from his multi-culti origins despite the backdrop of a very thin resume. It is worth asking: Has Barack really paid all his dues or was he chosen by voters, in part, for what he represented through his race?

Interesting, isn't it? There really are some uncanny parallels about the concerns being expressed about the top of the Democratic ticket and the bottom of the Republican. In fact, it seems just about impossible to get through a single thought about this race without bumping up against the fact that the Democrats nominated for president of the United States a man whose credentials compare, in some ways, unfavorably, with a first-term governor of ALASKA.

And now, a message from the Obama Campaign: Please stop using "Obama" and "Palin" in the same sentence either mentally or outloud. Thank you.
