FDL (Emphasis mine):
Alaska's Frost Lady is part of Eminem's stimulus package.
Gov GILF has a new fan in rapper Eminem, who includes Sarah Palin in a wish list of ladies with whom he'd like to be intimately involved. Palin joins the rapper's hit list of simulated sexy celebs like Lindsey Lohan, Kim Kardashian, and Jessica Simpson in the video for "We Made You." Fame, it's a bitch.
Well I can be as gentle and as smooth as a gentleman
Give me my venom, an inhaler, and two Xenadrine,
And I'll invite Sarah Palin out to dinner, then
Nail her. Baby, say hello to my little friend
Yes, saying you want to nail Palin in this context is dissing her. Hence, the chuckles from the Huffington Post comment section. Check out the lame-ass video yourself: Eminem, who has totally lost his touch, focuses overwhelmingly on women celebrities, including lesbians (OMG, gays!), for a relatively tame version of his usual intolerance and violent hate (see: Kim Kardashian being put in a wood chipper). It's almost as sad as when he threw a hissy fit when confronted by a damn puppet (The fun starts at 2:10; the Eminem thing starts at 5:27):
Ooh, street!
As stale as Eminem's Ann Coulter/Rush Limbaugh routine has been, what's more tired is seeing so-called progressive blogs continue to gleefully embrace any possible hint of misogyny to bash Palin. You would think they were obsessed with her!
Seriously, enough already. How about being obsessed with single payer instead?

I saw that
and could not believe it.
I try not to be surprised anymore, but damn
Their obsession with hating this woman (on gendered grounds, no less, which bashes all women and girls) is coming off like a broken record that only gets more and more bizarre. It reminds me of when I went to an RNC conference in the mid-90's to find "Hillary" dog chew toys totally sold out. I heard the guy selling them say something, like, "How about a bitch for your little bitch?" Har! Har! Basically, Hillary Clinton was this magical symbol for Everything That Was Wrong in the World and all you had to do was say, "Woman!" to prove it and make those around you feel better.
Sick fucks.
People use misogynistic tropes
...to put women they dislike in their place? Knock me over with a feather!
But it is, truly, disappointing (substituted at the last moment for a MUCH stronger word) that people who think of themselves as progressives, or liberals, or leftists, or whatever, can't see the problem with engaging in this crap.
Actually, when I think about it, it makes me want to yell and scream and throw things.
I'm sure there is a more productive use for this anger.
(Did anyone catch the press conference in which Obama took a question from a reporter from India, saying, in slight paraphrase because I haven't got time to listen to it again, "I'll take one more question, and so I won't be accused of gender bias, the young lady over there." He managed to convey that he did not take the matter of gender bias seriously by that joke, to my ear. I would really like to see his consciousness raised on this matter, given that he's the only president we've got.)

We can't afford not to have single-payer!
I saw that Obama press conference
I don't think he was joking, stating it matter-of-factly, but I agree that he doesn't take it seriously.
To compare with a president mocking gender equality itself, look to JFK. When asked a serious question about it, he immediately skewers pleas for equality to raucous laughter. Imagine if he had done that with pleas for equal rights for blacks (forward to 2:07):
Bleep
misogynist creep. This ingrate never met a woman he didn't hate.
When your so-called brains
are in your pants, this is what results.
He's damaged goods.
