Link to An Examination of the Term "Joe Six-Pack"

[pameladlloyd]

copperwise has posted an amazing, interesting, and articulate essay about Palin's use of the term "Joe Six-Pack." Since I've never understood how that term could be seen as a positive appellation, I really appreciated her post. I found her essay extremely moving and many others have as well. This post has generated a greater response than anything I've seen on LJ before.

Please note that this essay and the comments to it are not for the fainthearted or for those who'd prefer to ignore politics. copperwise pulls no punches.

I didn't read the commentary, but I followed your link to the entry and liked it very much. It's so, so true. Things don't slice the way people like to assume they do.

I only skimmed the commentary and it still took far too much of my day.
