Wonder Woman on Palin

Clipped from an interview with Lynda Carter, when asked about Sarah Palin.

What's What With ... Lynda Carter
By Victor Fiorillo

From seemingly out of nowhere, Lynda Carter, known best for her '70s role as Wonder Woman, turned up this week in Atlantic City to begin a three-week concert run at Harrah's. I caught up with her this morning to discuss nude scenes, boozing, this so-called "Wonder Woman" Sarah Palin, and, oh yeah, music ...



Q: Okay, last question. I'm sure you've seen all the comparisons in the media
and among Republicans of Sarah Palin to Wonder Woman. How do you feel about that?

A: "Don't get me started. She's the anti-Wonder Woman. She's judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they've got to live their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness ... that's just not what Wonder Woman is about. Hillary Clinton is a lot more like Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin. She did it all, didn't she?

No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to force your
own personal views upon the populace religious views. I think that is
suppressive, oppressive, and anti-American. We are the loyal opposition. That's the whole point of this country: freedom of speech, personal rights, personal freedom. Nor would Wonder Woman be the person to tell people how to live their lives. Worry about your own life! Worry about your own family! Don't be telling me what I want to do with mine.

I like John McCain. But this woman? It's anathema to me what she stands for. I think America should be very afraid. Very afraid. Separation of church and state is the one thing the creators of the Constitution did agree on. That it wasn't to be a religious government. People should feel free to speak their minds about religion but not dictate it or put it into law.

What I don't understand, honestly, is how anyone can even begin to say they know the mind of God. Who do they think they are? I think that's ridiculous. I know what God is in my life. Now I am sure that she's not all just that. But it's enough to me. It's enough for me to have a visceral reaction. And it makes me mad.

People need to speak up. Doesn't mean that I'm godless. Doesn't mean that I am a murderer. What I hate is this demonization of everybody but one position. You're un-American because you're against the war. It's such bull****. Fear. It's really such a finite way of thinking about God to think that your measley little mind can know the mind of God. It's a very little God that way. I think that God's bigger. I don't presume to know his mind. Or her mind."

I thought this was interesting particularly in light of the fact that Lynda Carter has long been a Republican.
