Sassy Cindy McCain. And Foxy Sarah Palin.

What do you think of these moxie media ladies? Did you see Cindy’s NOH8 subtle statement? And are you watching Sarah on Fox?

Personally, I love Cindy’s move and message. Wow, what a gutsy act, and I feel like it got a little lost in the media, so I wanted to call it out.

The usually quiet and reserved Cindy recently posed for this NOH8 Campaign with this loud-and-clear, silent vote for Marriage Equality. Turns out, Cindy contacted the nonprofit photo project to pose, following in the steps of daughter Meghan. Love that the mom-daughter duo took such a public stand in spite of hubby and daddy John McCain’s opposing position. It brings the “stand by your man” message into 2010, I think. And I dig that John handled it well, respecting their opinions, but held firm on his own. “We are family,” but we aren’t issued to drink the kool-aid. Cheers to that.

And as for the other recent right wing media move, Palin on Fox, well it’s not as much of a lovefest from me. Go figure (code for: see my Palin on Newsweek post), but I’m open to watching. Are you? I do think it was another gutsy move on her part, as she put herself in the spotlight with a big bullseye target for those who love to hate her and are just waiting for her to trip up. And of course, it’s savvy, as Palin fans are thrilled that she now has her own media platform to speak her mind regularly and clear up any matters instantly.

I surf all the stations, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, so I tuned into watch her debut a few weeks ago. Her banter with O’Reilly was okay, I think he went a little soft on her, I think she totally dodged some questions and overall I think she blatantly used the platform for Pres. vs. Commentary. I expect more hardball hitters from Bill or I’m out. And as for Palin on Glenn Beck’s show, I watched that too, and almost did that throw-up-in-your-mouth thing from the creepy love-to-love ya hour of “the world’s gonna blow if you aren’t President, Sarah!” Really, Beck, why didn’t you just fall to the ground, bow three times and kiss her feet (or suck her toes, seriously, what was going on there?).

FOX will get ratings, advertisers will be thrilled, but the whole Fair & Balanced tag is getting a little watered down now with Palin, Huckabee etc. O’Reilly better bring it, or they are so gonna need me to write a new tag for them soon. Have you watched lately? Catch me up.

What do you think? Love or hate Cindy and Sarah’s latest? Right on to the right wingers or still no way and left all the way?

Me? Usually left, but officially and Indie.
