Just 4 years ago, Sarah Palin listed her employment as "homemaker" in FEC donations database.
The Federal Elections Commission's database of campaign contributions contains two entries for a "Sarah Palin" of Wasilla, Alaska and both of them list her employment as homemaker.



I think she's ready to be President, don't you? I mean, we all know Hillary Clinton was listed as homemaker 4 years ago, or even Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

1.  I haven't heard a woman refer to herself as a "housewife" in the last decade.
Time to connect the dots.

2. She didn't even have a job 4 years ago...
I mean, how the hell can this person be ready to be VP?

4. Well, my husband had to list me as the same when getting a mortgage.
I do write part-time, but we wanted to qualify on one income.

But I guess I'm qualified to run for VP now! Imagine that!

3. I'm a homemaker. I have experience in foreign policy AKA
parent-teacher conferences. I also have experience in defense and diplomacy by virtue of breaking up the kids' fights and laying sanctions on them when necessary. In the domestic arena, I understand economics because every week I write up a grocery list according to our budget. I also understand environmental affairs, and I try to reduce our trash and recycle what I can. Finally, as a former cheerleader and current coach, I know a lot about firing up the base.

So why wasn't I tapped to be someone's running mate?

5. I'm kind of like a male homemaker...
It's hard work, but I don't think it's a qualification to be VP either.

This is pretty fucking ridiculous.

6. There might be some sort of committee she could have been very helpful on, but Veep? No way!
