Two ladies who are not doing much of anything lately in terms of actual political power would like the world to remember that they exist too, and that they were doing this far-right gaffe-happy brunette thing before a certain Minnesota congresswoman. Yes, Christine O'Donnell is the warm-up act for Sarah Palin's…

Conservative women are up in arms about a critical piece about them in Elle. But not because it essentially portrays them of being privileged hypocrites, but because a headline writer referred to them as "Baby Palins." Seriously.

What the world really needs right now is a presidential candidacy from Michele Bachmann, who has been making major moves in that direction. You may recall Bachmann as presidential material from this crazy-eyes "response" to the State Of The Union.

Regis Giles, 19, is "sick and tired of seeing defenseless girls being abducted in broad daylight by some fruity [?] freak who gets aroused by raping and abducting them." Her solution: A mass movement of girls with guns, galvanized by her website Girls Just Wanna Have Guns.

Here's the secret of how ultra-conservative talking heads reconcile their activism with their stay-at-home values: They don't, really.

At least that's what we think Sophie B. Hawkins said. Slate, why must you tease us so?

A Board of Education member in Oklahoma has caused an uproar after saying a proposed candidate would be "worthless" to them—because she's pregnant and might take maternity leave. The woman, eventually voted in, left the meeting in tears.

God, this is so unfair. First Christine O'Donnell's American dream of being a Senator with zero qualifications was rebuffed by voters, and now the Feds are on her trail. Can we blame the liberals? We can.

Christine O'Donnell is forming a PAC. She said yesterday, "Tragedy comes in threes: Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards's passing and Barack Obama's announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits." Our discourse quality rises.

We don't often agree with Sarah Palin, but we shared her irritation this morning at Politico illustrating a story about Michele Bachmann's leadership bid with a photo of her getting made up. Politico's replaced it, but we'd grabbed the original.

This is an mailer that Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski sent to appeal to women voters. But not everyone is buying it. Meanwhile, women voters are unimpressed by Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina. What's wrong with you chicks?

Palin doesn't "think I've ever met that gal, Maureen Dowd — O'Dowd — whatever the heck her name is," but disputed MoDo's Mean Girls column by defending the "wonderful, pleasant, gracious, nice, hard-working mama grizzlies." Catfight! Fake pregnancy rumors!

Hoping to remind women who is at least nominally on our side, the White House will issue a report about its own efforts on equal pay. But why talk about substance when we could just talk about Mean Girls?

An aide to California Democratic candidate Jerry Brown was caught on tape suggesting that they call opponent Meg Whitman a whore over a perceived concession on police pensions. Unsurprisingly, this is turning into a problem.

Cheer for the sanity of Delaware voters (so far): according to several polls, Christine O'Donnell dramatically trails her opponent. Still, as more evidence emerges that Sarah Palin wants to be president, it's worth rebutting that whole "I'm you" thing.

"The woman Democrats love to hate" was how Sean Hannity introduced Christine O'Donnell last night. Correction: Democrats love her, as long she stays 15 points behind. So how'd it go? Well, she's a PR person, and she knows that much.

So more people can hear necessary perspectives expressed as eloquently as Princeton professor Melissa Harris Lacewell did last night on The Rachel Maddow Show. The topic? Right wing women and why reproductive choice matters for everyone.

On one of batshit family-values conservative Christine O'Donnell's Politically Incorrect appearances, she was confronted by none other than Ben Affleck. He said she had a little "Monica flair" to her, and then mocked and flirted with her.
