i don't see why the NYT is sexist/classist for printing this article. have you been reading mommy blogs? on LJ alone i read post after post written my women "citing their own difficulties with less demanding jobs, [and saying that] it would be impossible for Ms. Palin to succeed both at motherhood and in the nation’s second-highest elected position at once."
the NYT is simply reporting on a hot topic.
that said, i completely agree that being a VP doesn't mean you'll be neglecting your children, and like you, i'm terribly irritated at this notion. there are pictures of palin babywearing her son at a meeting/press conference 3 days after he was born, and, apparently, she does breastfeed him. all this "she can't be a good mom if she's a VP" BS is being used to promote an agenda and even though i don't like palin in the least, this is lame lame lame.
