Sarah Palin: Medieval Queen

[highlyeccentric]

OK, I was going to studiously ignore the whole Sarah Palin fuss (Americans. How is it that we can get an entire federal election campaign over and done with in the month before voting, and you lot drag yours out over eighteen months? Mad, I tell you), but now I'm not. Instead, I'm going to tell you that one of the most interesting responses I've seen is Magistra et Mater's comparison of Sarah Palin and Queen Theutberga. Interesting things to say on the public appetite for scandal, and on the commonalities between the position of American VP and that of a medieval Queen.
