Sarah Palin offers a humorous response to an Emily’s List video filled with straw-man (woman?) attacks on Palin’s Mama Grizzlies campaign from her Facebook platform.  Noting that Ewok costumers make it a little hard to take their criticism seriously, Palin scolds them for lying in a week where women around the nation honor the success of the suffragette movement and the passage of the 19th Amendment:

I feel compelled to offer some advice to our sisters who like to throw stones at those of us who respectfully disagree with them on this issue (and they sometimes refuse to even countenance the fact that some of us can call ourselves feminists and disagree with those who claim the mantle of “real feminists”). First, ladies, it’s hard to take a critic seriously when they lecture you wearing a bear suit. So, it’s difficult for me to drum up much outrage at this latest ad. But, really, lying about a sister while wearing an Ewok outfit is no way to honor our foremothers on the eve of the 90th anniversary of their victory. But, that aside, I’d love to know where you got those get-ups. Halloween is just around the corner, and Piper and Trig would look adorable as little grizzly bears.

We face so many challenges today. We struggle to provide a better future for our children despite our economic downturn and a federal government intent on robbing from our children’s tomorrow to pay for politicians’ recklessness today. We struggle against the Obama administration’s pending decision to remove a drug treatment for breast cancer based on cost considerations and what could be argued as a person’s “productivity in life” rather than medicine. We struggle against our reliance on foreign countries to provide necessary energy supplies while America’s plentiful energy resources sit idle, warehoused under locked-up lands, just as the unemployed sit and wait for government to allow them the opportunity to responsibly utilize our resources. We struggle to ensure that America is strong and vigilant so that our sons and daughters can live by the motto “Peace through Strength.”

More substantively, Palin endorsed three more Republicans for Congress.  Jackie Walorski faces a tough fight against Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly, who has chosen to play Name That Party with his campaign ads and run against Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.  Palin also endorsed Vicki Hartzler in MO-04, which is a very interesting race indeed.  The strongly Republican district — R+14 according to the Cook Report — has long been held by Ike Skelton, the powerful Democrat who chairs the House Armed Services Committee.  The GOP should win this district, but Skelton will prove a difficult man to unseat in any circumstance.  Palin’s endorsement will draw more attention to this race.

However, the one endorsement that Hot Air readers might cheer most is Renee Ellmers, the woman challenging Bob “Who Are You” Etheridge in NC-02:

Renee Ellmers is a true citizen-politician running in North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District. Having worked in the health care industry all her life, she joined countless other concerned Americans at the town hall meetings last summer to protest the disastrous Obamacare legislation. And she didn’t stop there! Renee decided to join the ranks of patriotic mothers across the country who have the courage to run for office this year and fight to make sure our children have as bright a future as we were given. Renee has an uphill battle against a truly out of touch incumbent who made news not too long ago when he was caught on video assaulting a student who asked him if he supported the Obama agenda. Simple enough question, but this Democrat Congressman who’s been in Washington for 14 years turned violent rather than answer it. My point with this is that Renee is willing to answer that question. She supports a commonsense conservative agenda which will put our country back on sound fiscal footing. Please visit Renee’s website at www.reneeforcongress.com and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

I’ve interviewed Renee twice on The Ed Morrissey Show, most recently a week ago.  Since I am traveling today and won’t have a show, please watch this “classic TEMS” episode and get to know Renee.  She did a great job answering a wide range of questions on the show and demonstrated why Sarah Palin was wise to include her in her endorsements.
