Schlafly cheers Palin’s place on the ticket
DENVER — Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly, whose ideas about feminism have riled many, embraced the choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as John McCain’s No. 2.
“She is a complete package,” Schlafly said by phone from St. Paul, where she is getting a head start on next week’s GOP convention. “She is right on all the issues, particularly pro-life and drilling for oil.”
The approval of Schlafly, head of the Alton-based Eagle Forum, could signal to other conservatives on the fence that it’s OK to embrace the McCain ticket.
On the other hand, Schlafly said one of the other names up for veep consideration, erstwhile Democrat Joe Lieberman, would have been a non-starter.
“Lieberman was not acceptable under any circumstances,” Schlafly said.


Schlafly is worthless.
She encourages women to take advantages of the rights feminism has won for us all, and then use their position to decry the value of feminism.
She’s the worst kind of hypocrite.
