A little snarky, but...

I think the title of this commentary (along with the commentary itself) is a crucial observation on the selection of Sarah Palin as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate.

Is It Sexist To Want The Person Flying The Plane To Be A Pilot?

The ONLY "sexist" criticism of Sarah Palin and her selection that I'm aware of is the questions whether she should run for Vice President as mother of 5, etc... I agree that a man would not be asked this question.

But by discovering identity politics, and then cultivating outrage, the Republicans have generated a smoke screen to obscure the legitimate questions about their "accomplishments" and actual positions.
