"WORKING MOM". I was a working mom, there are millions of working moms. That sure as heck didn't make me qualified to be the VP of the US. For heavens sakes.....Obama is a "working father". Why isn't this classification attached to all working fathers. Because it doesn't matter. And it shouldn't matter when a woman steps out into the working world. If we want to be on an equal footing, we have to drop all those qualifications that somehow implies we should be given special recognition.

3. Yep. Patently stupid. Joe Biden was a working single father for years.
bet he doesn't list that as a credential. He doesn't need to, he has some.

4. Try using it as a qualification in a job interview
even for a waitress job, you'd be laughed at more times than not...She's a talking head, period, she's qualified to do local news...

5. The really hilarious part is, that would be seen as a negative to them ANY OTHER TIME.
A bunch of chauvinist assholes suddenly became feminists when Palin leeched on to the ticket.
