And I’m not talking about sleep. Would any female head of state have done this?
Say what you will about Benazir Bhutto. She never winked at me.
Luckily, I found this inspiring video and feel better about life. It’s the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka.

Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.
Benazhir Bhutto certainly didn’t excessively use “darn” or “betcha” either.
This woman is a disgrace.
I agree with you, Erin. Palin is a disgrace on so many levels.
In addition to inappropriate winking, I was really put off by her constant Stepford and beauty-contest-fake smile.
Because of her (and to a large extent MCain), I have registered to vote for the first time in many, many years. Obama gets my vote.

Oi, thank you for that amazing video of Mr. Trumka. He’s a great orator and a man of wisdom and vision. It numbed the horror of seeing Mrs. Palin a’ winkin’ at me again!
The cozy sporty tales I was prepared for. But the winks? Not so much. I was agog. But I think the most repulsive aspect was her continued use of the term “Maverick”.
The word lost it’s charm for me, when that Scientologist lunatic Tom Cruise played a Navy Flier with the nickname “Maverick”.
Also, the mavericks that I know do not answer to large groups of organized power: Something those in the real Navy do every day, just like McCain and Palin.
