On the next Your Call, we'll speak with historian Dagmar Herzog, author of Sex in Crisis: The New Sexual Revolution and the Future of American Politics. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has the nation talking about her teenage daughter's pregnancy. The news has become part of the political debate. What do the responses on the left say about what they get or don't get about how gender and sexuality works politically on the right? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Totally excellent show! Salon.com - which is usually so right-on about so many things politically - is just not getting it when it comes to Sarah Palin. I completely agree with Dagmar Herzog when she said that choosing Sarah Palin was a stroke of genius.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin: Be afraid. Be very afraid.
P.S. I used to miss Laura Flanders. Rose Aguilar, you more than fill her shoes. Rose, you ROCK!!
