Sarah Palin's moose killer tote bag. Bullwinkle is not amused.

The rimless glasses. That shimmery copper lipstick and
beauty pageant blush. The peep-toe pumps.
When it comes to spawning trends, Sarah Palin has already proven to be the Madonna for middle-aged women in the Midwest. And now, her latest accessory -- a tote bag that promotes her passion for big guns and killing wildlife -- has hit the market just two days after she was spotted carrying the canvas 
bag that reads: "Real Women Hunt Moose." Cafe Press has already started selling its own version of the bag for $15.99.
If you're disgusted by her NRA chic, how about protesting with the alternative view with this Cafe Press tee?
No doubt, Bullwinkle will appreciate your support.

Please do not send this Sarah Palin woman back to Alaska. She has ruined my retirement!

Just send the moose with lipstick back to the podunk that is Alaska so the country can get back to dealing with the economy.

Can someone explain to me why this refers to "women in the midwest?" Sarah Palin is NOT from the midwest and her wardrobe, while pleasant is certainly found everywhere.
Just a random chance to put down a particular section of the country?

I might buy the t-shirt just because I do love Moose...
IT'S TASTY (needs to be added)

The pictures the blogger posted aren't the same as the tote Gov. Palin is carrying. The real tote was designed for Gov. Palin by a fan and supporter by the name of Deborah Picou Markowski - a wife and mother in Florida who has a special needs child and admires the Governor. LA Times should at least get their facts straight on where the tote came from - even if they are going to attack it and Gov. Palin as they predictably do. If people want the real tote and not the cafe press knock-off, they should email Deborah at realwomenhuntmoose@live.com.

Monica your claws and devotion to Obama are oozing out of your contemptuous article. You are a superfluous Obama groupie and I hope no will need to be medicated. The LA Times much like the NYT seem to just ooze hate filled rhetoric.

monica...tsk..tsk..it backfired again huh?! By the way, you were not honest in your profile-YOU loathe bad manners? right.

Thanks, Laura!
I'm going to contact the original designer and order my own "Real Women..." bag! I love it.
And 1anonymous1 - Sean K obviously lacks a sense of humor - I thought your comment was very funny! Amf true!

Actually, Monica, try a little arithmetic. Madonna is 50 and Sarah Palin is 44. It seems more likely that Madonna is the Sarah Palin for middle aged women. Try a little harder at next time's hysterical screed.

I understand why my first comments were not allowed to pass the censors, I called the whole article hate filled which is politically incorrect.
I too hate bad manners and rudeness so how could I not have said those things.

OOPS mia culpa!

Great stuff Monica, more suited to HUFFPO - where the writers are paid just what they are worth, no doubt, which includes you.
I wonder if you realize how arrogant and snide you appear to normal people (or which there are few at the LAT) and there are about to be a lot fewer. The scuttlebutt says you are toast by Christmas. Hope you enjoy HUFFPO - you'll love it there.

You poor misled liberal nutbag... please confine your comments to the left coast where they belong. We here in flyover country actually admire someone who is willing to be themselves. I pray (yes, to God) for this country's future. You're simply another thinly veiled "journalist" who's willingly swallowed the socialist pill. Pity.

"That shimmery copper lipstick and beauty pageant blush. The peep-toe pumps." --- Is this type of catty and condescending trivia worthy of the Los Angeles Times?

Isn't shooting a moose akin to consuming free-range beef or chicken? I thought that was considered a more responsible way to treat our feed animanls. Isn't there a proposition on the ballot along these lines?
Perhaps you need to do some thinking on this Monica.

I love moose, too. with a raspberry-chipotle barbecue sauce.
