Just a hockey mom ...

My mom was a hockey mom, by the way, schlepping me to every rink from Long Island to Boston to Albany and back at insane hours and going back to work part time to help pay for my sport (hockey wasn't cheap - compared to Little League - in the 60s and 70s) and she did it for 10 years. Sarah Palin couldn't hold a candle to my mom (OR nurse, degree from the Orthopedic Clinic in Heidelberg), in intelligence, in toughness, and in character. Calling Sarah Palin a hockey mom is an insult to hockey moms everywhere.

That said, Jill has a post up describing her feelings (as a woman) toward VP Barbie:

...

But when a Sarah Palin gets up on national television in a $2500 designer jacket and perfect makeup and tries to pass herself off as being no different from the zaftig mother of four who works at a nursing home during the day and then at the neighborhood Burger King three nights a week, women don't identify. On the contrary, they remember back to high school, and the Sarah Palins who made their lives miserable back then.
