Brigitte Bardot calls Sarah Palin a 'disgrace to women' - Telegraph

The sixties sex symbol said that Republican John McCain's running mate was "disconcertingly stupid" and that she hoped she would lose the November 4 presidential elections.

Referring to Mrs Palin's now famous self-portrait as a "pitbull with lipstick", Mrs Bardot - who runs an animal rights foundation - said: "I know dogs well and I can assure you that no pitbull, no dog, nor any other animal is as dangerous as you are."

"I hope you lose these elections because that would be a victory for the world," she went on.

"By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe," wrote the one-time screen legend.

Ah, one of my favorite "sex kittens" from my youth.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

apart from her work to support animal rights (whic, while worthy in principle, can become ridiculous when it becomes exclusionary of anytinhg else), she's become a racist, hateful extreme right harpy.

True. However, given that, she's still to the left of Sarah Palin...
