Palin reminds me of the Commander's wife in The Handmaid's Tale

This finally snapped into place this morning on the drive to work.

Anyone else getting that vibe?

She's a collaborator. We should consider treating her like the Dutch did their women who collaborated with the Nazis. As I recall, they shaved their heads to mark them, stripped them naked, and ran them physically out of town.

9. Yep...

I've referred to her as Serena Joy on a number of occasions on this very form. Anybody who misses this and dares call themselves a feminist ought to cut their tongue.
