I don't care if she did manage to get a college degree, the poor thing is ignorant and ill-tempered, and at her age, it is unlikely that she is ever going to change. Not bad looking, though.

[ddDinah]

Maybe Michelle could appoint Sarah as her stylist.

[fame]

She had some nice outfits during the campaign. $150K well spent!

[julesbh]

You can't take away from the fact that physically she is attractive and keeps herself in good shape after 5 kids. Her clothes fit her well and are age appropirate.

[mamacat]

And, it has never been reported that she has had to resort to plastic surgery to keep her good looks, which is rare these days. The woman is not all bad, but she has no business in government. Resigning the governorship was one of the smartest things she has ever done.

[phylliscooper1]

She is a pretty woman who looks great after bearing 5 children and you can't take that away from her. The way the conservative men drooled when they saw her bought her a lot of political clout in 08. Too bad in 2012 her looks will fade a little and she will be getting closer to 50 and the male love will diminish. They will say, "that Sarah Palin, she sure was some woman".

[JadeRain]

I don't care much for Sarah Palin, but why does she "love clothes" whilst Michelle Obama "has style'? This is a double standard not worthy of indulging in.

[Oilworker]

I couldn't agree more Jade. Double standard is exactly right

[scottfrommodesto]

Because before she stole $150,000 worth of clothes from the RNC, she was wearing t-shirts that said "I may be broke, but I'm not flat busted". The double standard is brought to you by your own persecution complex.

[Solph]

Please get your timeline right. It is Palin's t-shirt at the University of Idaho that says "I may be broke but I'm not flat busted," and in 1984 she transferred to UI. So it is like how long ago? 25 years ago.

She is not millionaire rich like Michelle; so what' wrong with RNC paying some of her wardrobe if they wanted her to look good? I do hope she returned some of the cloths to RNC after the election.

[PorkyDomesticus]

Who cares about the way she dresses?

[Solph]

We could say the same thing about Michelle Obama.

Either way, I don't much care for Sarah Palin, but I do like how she dresses herself and styles her hair. Professional, strong and yet feminine.

[SpankMePlease]

style her hair? is that what you call that bird's nest?

[andrea7565]

Apparently milllions of people.

[Snickerdoodle2]

hmmm, so apparently I'm alone in thinking that Palin is really a Democratic plant, a Democratic secret weapon?

[Jude55807]

Who has a lame life? Her? Or the people obsessed with Palin?

[SiberianRat]

Careful! Them's fightin words on Palinton Post...

[robbyJ]

Honestly with all my heart I hope she runs again.

She makes politics funny. Don't yah know

[foodie46]

Why is it okay for Michelle Obama to have an expensive wardrobe and a personal stylist? Look at the pictures of Michelle Obama last year on the campaign trail and the pictures of her now. No difference at all. I have no problem with either woman spending money on their looks. I do have a problem with the hypocrisy when one has a R in their title, versus a D. Both are accomplished women, no matter what.

[Clare53]

Ditto.

[aFlyoverPerson]

Because Michelle pays for her own clothes and did not use campaign donations.

[Oilworker]

O really flyover, are you 100% sure about that?

[Sabreen60]

P@lin used campaign donations. Ms. 0bama is a millionairess - mostly due to the sale of her husband's books. BIG difference.

[Oilworker]

Or maybe her sweet job at the hospital that was paying her 300,000 a year. Funny after she left the position it was never filled.
your right, big difference

[Tugar]

I CAN SAY ONE THING ABOUT SARAH PALIN...

She gives us all something to talk about ! Short on brains, and fresh out of knowledge, she reminds me of watching one of those TV PITCHMEN, when she talks.....

I listen, and immediately think after listening, I gotta hear that commercial again, because I didn't understand half of what that guy was saying or what he was selling, he was talking so fast and incoherent! But he was good at it whatever it was he was trying to sell !

BUT TO ACTUALLY BUY WHAT THEY ARE SELLING, I IMMEDIATELY THINK,..... "I ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH JUNK AROUND HERE THAT I DON'T NEED OR USE NOW, SHAM-WOW !

[t iessa]

And yet she was elected governor of our largest state. What have you done lately?

[FourSordidRms]

LOL. Alaska's population is 686,293, making it #47 out of the 50 states.

[DSOTM]

Size in area only, 3rd smallest congressionally.

[Mahi Joe]

I live in a city that has 4 times the population of the entire state of Alaska LOL. Big deal.

[NoSillyName]

Silly thing to say, much less believe.

[Wiseup2Day]

I think it's funny that people go through such hoops to show that a picture doesn't tell the whole story and can distort when it comes to a photo of Obama checking out a womens backside..yet..they want us to believe these pictures..ahhh..the hypocrisy is never ending.

[andrea7565]

Wow, people are so jealous of her! Why is it that the world isn't ready for a beautiful woman with a great body who can can also be in a powerful political position. I am so sick of the media tearing her apart.

[Sabreen60]

Jealous??? You're joking right. She's a light weight intellectually. Perhaps she's good looking compared to other women in politics right now. But her looks are not her problem. It's her lack of knowledge and her propensity to /!e.

[andrea7565]

What do you know about her intellectual capacity, except that she was elected governor of Alaska and was highly respected for her performance as such. Maybe I'm naive, but I would imagine that it would require a good deal of smarts to govern ANY state efficiently. Why do people have to take that away from her?

I think people are jealous of her because there seems to be a fascination with how she looks, yet a need to pick her apart. That spells jealousy to me.

[julesbh]

I don't think see is dumb, just not articulate.

[hauty007]

Thx, guess, that's why guys can't stopped lookin at her.
