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.

At Debate, Palin Admits a Candidate is Not Viable at Five Weeks

she's not even all that but to men not getting any...she's that morning wake up call...thento the rest of the sane world, she opens that dumb goofy mouth...pooooof it's all gone!

[wendynyc]

They will vote with the wrong part of their anatomy

[zoozey]

Ha! Now THERE's an ugly picture in my head! And they are worried in PA over the fact that someone might wear an Obama shirt when they vote! Maybe they better be checking to make sure the mens' zippers are up when they come out of the booth!

Turning the spotlight on whether she is smart or not, made the bar way too low. There have been many diabolical individuals throughout history that have been intelligent. Not that Palin is intelligent - far from it. However in the debate she was smart enough to insult American intelligence with her ability to memorize, wink and charm - just like a woman on her first date.

Its only for Republicans who are looking for a "trophy wife" rather than a serious emancipated marriage with the world that she would be perfectly matched with.

So, if you want to flush women's rights, evolution, the environment, foreign policy, health care, education and the economy down the toilet, simply sit in church with her and listen to some fundamentalist preacher, think that global warming is a left-wing conspiracy and that a victim of rape has no business getting an abortion, then you’ll be deliriously happy together. If all you want is a "looker" to go hunting moose with she's your gal. For the rest of us this would be a marriage made in Hell.

My advice to those who want to marry Sarah is to pack your six-packs and your guns, elope to banana republic and spend the rest of your days there in wedded bliss. Just don't drag America and the rest of us with you. You will not only destroy the American dream. You will destroy the hopes and dreams of the civilized world.

HIndy, yours was a GREAT post!

Emphasizing Palin's "looks," rather her questionable qualifications to be president is sexist.

[nibblybits]

What she doesn't get, as many who rely mostly on their looks to get them by, is that 4 years from now, as she's pushing 50, these sexist pig Repubs won't be fawning all over her anymore. Let's face it: she's at the far end of the easy sexbomb age spectrum.

If she ever gets a shot again in 2012 (which won't happen if she's impeached in Troopergate), those Neanderthal pigs will have to start listening to how dumb she sounds when she moves her lips.

Poor thing. Doesn't know the rejection she has waiting ahead of her.

[TennGal]

Palin choice speaks volumes about McCain's judgement....He has a rich, trophy wife and selected a cheerleader, trophy sidekick. I say sidekick because he does not really care that his VP be qualified just that it fills the need to get elected and then push her out their to smile and look pretty.

The fact that they are bragging about her performance says how little they care about the substance. This is not a tryout for the lead in a play. We need substance not performance in our leadership.

[pavroviandog]

Palin: ALL performance, ALL the time.

I agree about the Stepfod-trophy-wife model that Republicans worship. That alone reveals their deeply seated mysoginistic views, their utter disdain for

[AxelDC]

Too bad McCain didn't pick Paris Hilton if that's their primary criteria.

[pavoterinde]

If you think we are not respected across the globe now, just put the frick and frack in office. Maybe she can wink our way out war. NOT !!! Be a little more professional PLEASE !! Palin, this is not the beauty pageant.

[UCSD101]

Some men will forever let the "lower head" speak and think for them. This woman just gave birth, (supposedly) to a baby about five months ago. And they're having insights of getting into her pants. Ewwwwwwe!!!!!!

As she would lead this country on the road to destruction, I wonder then would they still be looking at her with glazed over eyes.

Some women think Obama is hott, but you don't see them making fools of themselves.

Most of us Americans want a President who is wise, smart, fair and a good leader.

Palin in the debate threw in buzzwords like Values, Freedom, Patriotism, American, and Maverick as if she bought them on sale.

Her scripted performance lacked merit and failed to distinguish from Buch/Cheney's doctrine of fear-mongering. She comes from the same group of people who have squandered the true American values of progressiveness, innovation, entrepreneurism, and liberty.

Her speech had the nightmarish resemblance to Bush/Cheney's speech in 2000. Those of you who are undecided and or still thinking that she and McCain will put country first, look again Palin is Ahmedinajad with lipstick.

We all will be up and in sh*ts creek if the two of them are elected into office. We want and need a President and VP, who will listen to the people….not another Bush Cheney.

For Positive Change and the Goof Of America

I humbly ask you to VOTE:

Obama/Biden 2008

[Rjchinook]

Great post except for your sexist statement @ the beginning: "This woman just gave birth, (supposedly) to a baby about five months ago. And they're having insights of getting into her pants. Ewwwwwwe!!!!!!" Yes females give birth but to say women are less desirable after giving birth is disturbing and promotes sexism.

YES WE CAN!

[UCSD101]

My Ewwwwwww!!! was not meant to mean less desirable. Just a continuation of how I feel about this particular woman.

No offense...........

[CharlesJ]

Sorry but I do not think Palin is all that much to talk about. In fact I do not find her to be that attractive, there are many out there that would and could put her to shame. It is not all about physical appearance, which for me she is lacking in the first place.
I find it insulting that men would even consider this as a vote changer. I have lost at too many job interviews because of this kind of behavior by those lookers. Eye candy at the work place and now McCain wants eye candy in the White House, give me a break.

[Shaddup]

The fact that her appearance makes her any more a credible VP candidate is a joke. And I wish Joe Six-pack would realize that. But no, he lusts for her body, and will thusly vote for her. Is that what this Repug ticket is trying to tell America? I don't get it at all. I don't care if a candidate has a face of an antelope, I DO care if they are capable of doing a job.

Porn stars and such should stay in the bedroom. America needs help right now. She doesn't need a porn star.

P.S. Have ya noticed that her hub looks like a porn producer? Skeevy bastid.

[mitch4822]

McCain is fanticizing about Sarah. Look at them together. He is drooling,

[zoozey]

And how bout McCain's dirty old man laugh that went on for an uncomfortably long time, when he asked during that rally yesterday, " how about that Sarah Palin last night...sort a felt sorry for my old friend, Joe Biden."

Yech!

[KeithMayass]

she is a mole working in fact for the democratic party. her role is to destroy the mc campaign form the inside and to appear as thick as a brick

[loudyk]

She is doing a great job then!

[Lagniappe]

Sarah Palin is the Republican equivalent of "cotton candy"----- Little bit of sugar, lots of hot air and PLENTY of SPIN!

[protagonia]

The stupid fish don't know better than to bite the pretty lure.

The wise ones do know better.

They are the ones still in the water.
