54. "vaginas are interchangeable"
That's the attitude of Republicans about any type of minority, isn't it? Cases in point, when Thurgood Marshall retired from the Supreme Court, Daddy Bush put in another African American as his replacement. And the Illinois Republican party ran carpetbagger Alan Keyes against Barack Obama in the 2004 Senate race. This year in the Kansas second congressional district the Repugs are running Lynn Jenkins against Congresswoman Nancy Boyda, hoping to have interchangeable vaginas in that race. In the case of Palin, Thomas and Keyes, they aren't fit to shine the shoes of the person they are supposed to replace. I have mixed feelings about Boyda, although I hope that she will stay in the House to keep a Dem majority.
My point is white male Republicans rarely see "the other" as people. We are all things that can be interchanged based on our body parts, sexuality, skin color, etc.
