From Andrew Sullivan's wonderful blog comes:
Democracies allow citizens as well as the press to question their potential leaders - aggressively and
relentlessly if necessary. The reason I'm posting this is to remind American voters what a real democracy
sounds like.
The ridiculous sequestering of Sarah Palin from the press and anything resembling public inquiry is an
absolute scandal. Thatcher was already prime minister, about to be re-elected in a landslide when this
debate happened. And she was happy to be subjected to this debate from an average citizen. This is what
feminism looks like in action. It's important to remember what a deep decline in female political equality
Sarah Palin represents.
