Conservatives Fawn Over Palin's Physical Appearance (VIDEO)

Think Progress:

Last month, the McCain campaign accused Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) of being "disrespectful" and sexist for calling Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) "attractive." Will it similarly slam National Review's Rich Lowry, who praised Palin's sex appeal to male viewers?

I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.

Is there any man in America (or any woman) who can say they sat up a little straighter on their couch when she opened her mouth to speak? Dazzled by her brilliance? Didn't think so.

[swanie]

The fact that she is pretty, or winks nice, is NOT A REASON FOR HER TO BE VP!!

She is an absolute "empty suit", cannot put two syntactically and semantically correct sentences together, and doesn't have a clue about what she speaks.

Enough of this idiocy!! She may be a nice lady BUT SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!

Let's see, we ended up with 8 yrs of brainless Bush because people thought he was the guy they could have a beer with. WAKE UP America, the stakes are WAY to high and we're in deep dodo, let's go for brains this time around.

[BluePride]

I call her: Palin-Drone!

My generic smokes are called MAVERICK! cough cough

[fdavidm]

I guess a Republican male with a PTA Mom fantasy may find Sarah sexually arousing but not with mine!

[crossoverwriter]

She is sincerely unattractive because her mind is full of wormholes and fluff.
We are not voting for a pinup anyway, we are voting for a PRESIDENT and a VEEP in November. Can Americans get a little SMARTER please? This is not a game!

[bartonfink]

evidently the description of the "palin effect," which is something that takes place in one's trowsers, ahem, was too, um, priapic I guess is the right word, for the HuffPo censors. but the challenge of explaining palin's appeal almost demands that one speak from below the beltway- again, ahem.

so what is it about the caribou ingenue's allure, that puts the swing back in the states? one could even say schwing! I suppose. is it her defiance of fact? her forced colloquial "folksiness?" her hatred of the letter "G?" or is it her winky left eye? her sartorial flair? which reminds me, where are the animal pelts?!

could it be the way she handles an assault rifle?(take that, putin!) her stepford wife-like robotic consistency in the face of the media onslaught? her indefatigability? (no silly, she wouldn't even know what means) her religious zeal? her ability to field dress a debate question on live national television? her glasses?

nope. none of the above. nature may abhor a vacuum, but when it comes to sarah palin's "appeal,"
in the absence of something, there is nothing

[siney]

the processed tresses and tattooed lip liner go hand and hand with the contrived folksiness­...

[OrbitOfOurOwn]

I would vote for P A L I N if she was a bit shorter and had a flat head. But other than that I am struggling to find anything redeeming about her...

[KillBillV2]

"I would vote for P A L I N if she was a bit shorter and had a flat head"

huh?

[wbwbruce]

The flat head is good for a place to put your beer.
Hopefully I will not have to explain...­..........­..

[bartonfink]

I get it, orbit. funny AND demeaning

[TAC]

I got it too, just took a little while :-) But I still would never vote for her...

[rowzeer]

Since were voting people into the highest offices in the land by looks.....­I am voting for Johnny Depp as president and Brad Pitt as his running mate.

[cactusgal]

McCain more than cancels out any looks Palin brings to the republican ticket...u­nless you think "Mr. Sardonicus" is stud worthy.

[reggieb]

Johnny Depp's good. But for VP I want Hugh Jackman. Forget the pitbull - I want a Wolverine.

[Neophyte]

"Energizing the [Conservative male] base" takes on its true meaning. Pity it's a tiny base.

[bartonfink]

good one!

[IndySC]

Ha! Rich Lowry needs to be cut off from the kool-aid.

I think snarky little Sarah needs to be a replacement for Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the View.

[studioh!]

hey Rich - that sparkling effect you saw was only her auditioning for a pepsodent commercial

[MoeJava]

Wonders would certainly emerge with a collaboration like Sarah Palin and Sherry Sheppard on the View. We could see who outprays who.

Frankly, I don't think Sarah Palin is that good looking. And I really dislike her winking,her sneer and her mocking comments. Nothing attractive about her attitude..­.putting other people down is not something that makes a woman pretty. And I do wish she'd stop insulting us by leaving the "g's" off her verbs and saying 'you betcha." I'm just an average person, but I did learn how to speak properly in school. She's a fake, and certainly not someone I'd want running our country.
