Sexism in the Election

This is a funny little spot from the latest Saturday Night Live, showing a mock press conference with Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.  It actually does bring up some interesting points about the way the media has handled both women.
While both women have assuredly faced some sexist comments in the media, its interesting to see how pundits' positions on this matter has shifted with the selection of Gov. Palin for the Republican ticket, especially the pundits on the right.  Nevertheless, this clip was too funny not to post.  Be sure to listen for Hillary's words of wisdom to the media at the very end.  personally I think it is good advice.
