Hey, Sarah Palin, you forgot THESE women.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_United_States_presidential_and_vice-presidential_candidates

Watching your speech, I was struck by something you said about being a female candidate, thanking only two who came before you. It hasn't just been two women, Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton, who have strived for the top jobs in the country. They may have gotten the closest in recent years, but you forgot a whole boatload of other women. Why not mention Shirley Chisholm? Why not make a nod to Cynthia McKinney who IS actually running for President this year in the Green Party? What is she, chopped liver?

Oh, I know why, because your feminism is a damned sham.
