I don’t know about Ms. Palin’s lovely state of Alaska. But in the great state of Texas, an unsolicited “I’ll pray for him,” in this particular context, would mean “I hope he chokes on his own vomit.” In the kindest way possible. The same way in “bless his heart” means, “poor thing doesn’t have the brains God gave a goose; don’t give him anything sharp to play with.”

I'm pretty sure that is how she meant it and she probably thought she was oh so clever about it -- some woman just make our whole gender look bad.
Oh, and the "sexist" Newsweek cover! Sexist implies that she's being treated differently because of her gender. You bet your sweet bippy that if Joe Biden popped a pose in running shorts, it would come back to haunt him. In fact, I have a good cornea sear from pictures of Bill Clinton's pasty legs in running shorts. When you play the gender card with no justification it just pulls the rest of us down with you.
That photo was taken for Runner magazine (or something similar). Why Newsweek used that one is a good question.
It's a picture taken for a national publication after she had entered the national political scene. She looks totally cute. But she doesn't look presidential. I'm afraid Sarah Palin has chosen to jump to the big arena before she really knew the ropes and there are consequences to learning in public view. And she's going to make a lot of mistakes that people will remember. Libby Dole would have worn a pretty track suit on the cover of Runner's World. God I miss Libby Dole.
