You can't make this up: Gosar picks Palin dentist pal for COS

Scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours… er, give you a dentist. At least, that’s what you get after a Sarah Palin endorsement: Cong.-elect Paul Gosar (R-AZ) just selected former dentist Rob Robinson to be his chief of staff, as reported by Roll Call. Gosar, a dentist himself, was introduced to his political benefactress Palin through Robinson, whom he knew from the American Dental Association.

Top 5 most sexist moments in politics of 2010

Top 5 most sexist moments in politics of 2010

Before we break out the bubbly to celebrate New Year's, it's time to take a look back at some Hall of Shame moments of the last year. In what was supposed to be another "Year of the Woman," we actually faced some pretty appalling, backwards behavior in the political arena -- but more importantly, we saw some powerful responses from the women who were on the receiving end of talk that should've died out in 1911. In no particular order, we present our top 5 sexist moments of 2010:

Sarah still doesn't speak for women

Sarah still doesn't speak for women

By Jamie Haynes on 12/07/2010 @ 10:28 AM

Tags: Sarah Palin, GOP Opponents, Mama Grizzlies, Boehner's Boys

Sarah really doesn’t speak for me… or a majority of women in America. A new poll by Hart Research Associates for Planned Parenthood found that most women don’t think Sarah Palin is trustworthy when it comes to women’s health issues. A paltry 24% of women believe Palin can be trusted on issues such as birth control, sex education, health care, and a woman’s right to choose. That leaves a lot of women out there who can’t relate to Palin’s extremist views. This isn’t particularly shocking given that Palin’s ultra-conservative and often violent rhetoric only serves to alienate women and emphasize just how out of touch she is.

That old phrase "the company you keep" has been on my mind lately. A few weeks ago, EMILY's List launched a campaign to highlight the extremist agenda of Sarah Palin and her candidates. We asked for women's perspectives, and boy, did we get it.

Since we launched our Sarah Doesn’t Speak for Me campaign last week, we’ve received an incredible response: so many have agreed with us that Palin’s voice should not go unchallenged. However, some have fairly wondered: why give Sarah Palin more attention?

Here we go ladies and gentlemen; the fight for Minnesota's sixth congressional district is officially on. Michele Bachmann, the champion of the Tea Party Caucus, defender of the radical right, and leader of all things anti-choice has released her first ad attacking EMILY's List-endorsed candidate Tarryl Clark. It is no surprise that the ad targets fiscally responsible, results-focused Tarryl, and promises more attack ads "coming soon."

You know that old saying, you’re only as good as the company you keep? Well, yet again, Dino Rossi, who’s trying to unseat Sen. Patty Murray, is associating with some pretty appalling characters. At a business round-table in Spokane, a woman upset with a pro-union bill exclaimed about Patty, “She ought to be shot. Murray and (Sen. Maria) Cantwell ought to be shot.” This violent, outrageous remark is not the first to be directed toward Patty.

Michele Bachmann wrote an opinion piece in Politico entitled, "Thank you, Sarah Palin," in which she details just how much she appreciates the fundraising efforts Palin has undergone to help her keep her seat this November. I agree with Michele that Palin's "effect on all aspects of politics shouldn’t be undersold" and know exactly what she means when she writes, "my race wasn’t the only race that Palin worked hard to raise money for."

We are seeing the ripple effect of Sarah Palin's influence in races where EMILY's List women and Democratic candidates are fighting hard to win seats in November. Over the weekend, Palin's operatives filed a financial report indicating that in the past three months, she has raised more money than in any other quarter since forming SarahPAC in January 2009 and has already given $87,500 to her endorsed candidates.

To say I was unmoved by Sarah Palin's much-heralded new "Mama Grizzlies" video is an understatement. I think it's time to get the story of the 2010 elections straight -- and to call out Palin's efforts for what they are: an attempt, in the name of "feminism," to turn back the clock on women's rights and to set American families back.

Sarah Palin released a web video this morning and it's begun making the rounds. She's trying to sell the "Mama Grizzly" brand to women across America as if it were the next 'lose ten pounds in ten days' fad diet.

I was pleased/relieved/unsurprised to see a story today in the Washington Post saying that earning an endorsement from Sarah Palin can result in the opposite of the intended effect: it can push voters away.

Sarah Palin may have given Fiorina her seal of approval, but the facts don’t lie. That’s why we’re standing with Sen. Barbara Boxer to make sure she has the resources to let California voters know their choice at the polls couldn’t be starker.

In California, Republican voters are headed to the polls today with their pick of evils in the primary contest to decide who will challenge Senator Barbara Boxer this fall. Yesterday, phones were ringing off the hook across the state with Sarah Palin at the other end touting Carly Fiorina as the true conservative choice.
