With all the talk about Obama’s parents, Biden’s mother at the DNC convention and McCain’s mother, do Sarah Palin’s parents pass the test? From Meet the Press this morning:

On the back of [Palin’s parents’] 4×4 a bumper sticker read, Vegetarian–Old Indian Word For `Bad Hunter.”

Grade: A+

Another bumper sticker from MTP:

`Coldest State. Hottest Governor.’

Then there was this exchange discussing if Gov. Palin is a feminist:

MR. BROKAW: Maria Bartiromo in New York, when she made her announcement the other day, as I understand it, she wrote in the speech a tribute to Geraldine Ferraro and to Hillary Clinton. Fred Barnes, in writing in The Standard this past week praising her social values says she is not a feminist. Is Sarah Palin a feminist by virtue of the fact that she ran for governor as a woman against the odds and has talked about some of the indignities that she’s had to suffer as a result of being a woman? Or would she describe herself not as a feminist?MS. BARTIROMO: You know, I don’t think she would describe herself as a feminist, but I think that she would describe herself as a champion for women. You know, her comments when she accepted the role from John McCain that, you know, “We’re not done. We have more work to do,” I think were very telling. In my interview, she praised Hillary. She said, “You know, I’m looking at Barack and I’m looking at his choice and I’m thinking, jeez, why didn’t he choose Hillary Clinton?” I mean, this was her quote. She said, you know, she’s not–she was very savvy about this. She said, you know, “She’s not what I would like to see represented in the White House, but she ran an awesome campaign,” is what she said to me.You know, she, she is trying to be a champion, I think, for women, and talk about breaking through the, the glass ceiling, but not coming across too strong, and using words like awesome, really trying to appeal, I think, to, you know, being a regular folk. I think the point David made was, was right on in that she really is attractive to the working class. Her husband works for BP, an oil company, up on the North Slope, and is called a Sloper, you know. And then she referred to him, which I thought was really cute–she referred to him as the first–Alaska’s first dude. So she comes out with these references that, that sort of immediately unnerve you and–putting herself in, in with the masses. But no, I wouldn’t call her a feminist.

Except, of course, Gov. Palin is a member of the group “Feminists for Life.”
