Sarah Palin: A working mother

MSNBC has a compelling article on its site about Pallin's status as a working mother. While I do applaud (yes, Harrogate, I do) her ability to balance her career with her family, I want to emphasize a point that Allison Linn makes in the article: "just because Palin is a working mother herself does not mean she will automatically support federal policies that could benefit other working moms or dads — especially since Republicans traditionally have opposed some of those policies." Sure, Sarah Palin is a working mother, but that doesn't mean she's an advocate for other working mothers.

I imagine it is easy to be a working mother when you can bill the state for working each day.

And you are correct- she will not help other working mothers. Unless of course they are executives at oil companies.

Or can charge the state budget for a personal chef.

And the fact that she has a vagina doesn't make her an advocate for women.
