Triumph of the Mediocre = Feminist Advance?

An interesting article on the op-ed page of the NY Times website today about how Sarah Palin is a triumph of feminism. Certainly a controversial definition of feminist progress and equality between the sexes, the piece argues that Palin's advance despite her mediocrity signals a sign of equality among the sexes in leadership (especially in politics) since mediocre men have been promoted forever. Think Warren G. Harding or some other, more recent presidents who don't inspire awe in the abilities department (What ever Would that mean?).
