And there you have it...

Last night in a joint townhall meeting, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) touted their supposed support for gender equality, especially equal pay. Palin called herself “a product of Title IX” and declared she and McCain would “create more legislation” to ensure equal pay. McCain jumped in and declared himself an equally ardent supporter of women’s rights, pledging his administration would go to court to protect workplace equality:

PALIN: I was a product of Title IX where legislation allowed that equal opportunity. Now if we still have to keep going down that road to create more legislation to get with it in the 21st century to make sure that women have equality, especially in the work place, then we’re there. […]

MCCAIN: I want to assure you, that we not only have a role model, but we will hire people and we will make sure people come to our administration wherever there is discrimination. We will eliminate it, we will fight it, and if necessary we’ll take ‘em to court. We’ll do those things.
