“I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can’t be learned; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.”

Rich Lowry on Sarah Palin in her VP debate last Thursday. I guarantee you that Lowry is the only man in the country who thought Palin was winking at him. He probably thinks the stripper in the club likes him too. It’s idiocy like this that makes me think we (men) are very lucky that the women in this country haven’t already organized and killed us as we sleep.
[Pre-emptive defense: I wasn’t comparing Palin to a stripper, but just illustrating that Lowry is one of those men who probably thinks every interaction with women is about him.]
