Palin Gets Props From Prozac Nation Author
Elizabeth Wurtzel, the author of “Prozac Nation” and no fan of Republican Gov. Sarah Palin , gives a balanced and fair assessment of why Palin has better qualifications than Democratic Senate Hopeful Caroline Kennedy.
“Sarah Palin, to her credit, understood this: after a couple of days of maternity leave when her special-needs baby was born last year, she was back in Anchorage, running Alaska. Powerful female friends of mine with kids who maintain a high position in a man’s world all did the same thing: brief leave and back to the grinder; they didn’t want office politics and the forward propulsion of time itself — time the avenger — to put them out to pasture. For all the crap talk of ‘choice feminism’ — whatever the hell that means — we are never going to feminize the world. Women who want to succeed pretty much have to work as long and as hard as men typically do, and that’s that. What does Caroline Kennedy know of this hellishness? She hasn’t held a paid position since her children were born, nor did she have a proper job even before that.”
The rest of the article was still a snarky Palin slam – but this was the section worthy of a link.
