Sarah Palin's Assets

What's Your Reaction:

The news of Sarah Palin's seemingly larger breasts almost overtook the BP Oil Spill as the most talked about item of the week. Once again, it shows how deep the American conscience runs. Dead birds...awww...can't deal. Big, shiny new breasts...let's discuss and re-Tweet. We must stop trying to act like the leaders of the free world when all we can think about are boobs and rumps. Our obsession with body parts has tainted our ability to see the forest from the trees. Or the war and the peace, frankly. To my point:

  1. Every men's magazine has actresses in questionable positions, (if not nude, hello Jennifer Aniston).

  2. Vanity Fair had bikini clad soccer players on their cover last month, and a vintage picture of Liz Taylor (yes looking stunning) in a swimsuit this month, but it is somewhere close to acceptable Maxim, really.

  3. We spent more time on Heidi Montag's redux than on the financial crisis.

  4. We pay greater attention to the details of Victoria's Secret models than knowing who our Congressmen are.

  5. We make celebrities out of participants of ill-gotten sex tapes (Paris Hilton and Danielle Staub, brech) and obsessive texters (Tiger Woods' entire posse of skanks).
I am not crazy...this is what we are all about. Heck, even our politicians and priests are preoccupied with body parts. We have to call a spade a spade and realize that we are lost little lambs looking to cling onto our mother's breast and...in this case they are Sarah Palin's. Whether she actually had breast augmentation is less the story than the fact that we made the possibility of her new breasts the big story of the week. If you are her supporter/follower, then get your mind out of the gutter and talk about her policies (?) and the Gulf. If you are from my camp and want her to fade into the sunset before 2012, then shut up about her chi-chi's. (After this piece I promise to never mention her again...ish.)


In doing my research on Sarah Palin's breasts, I pulled up this vintage Palin video and my take away is that has the same breasts as in her days of modeling and pageantry. She may very well have just been photographed at the Belmont Stakes wearing a bra that does not hold her in. Most of the other images available of Sarah has her wearing cheap suits, so it is hard to tell. And (B) the fact that she would do something that stupid is mind boggling ... even to me. Hence, I am giving her the benefit of the doubt. So, let me know what you think once and for all and then we can drop this subject for fear of being ruled by The Vatican ... those righteous hypocrites.

Breast augmentation is the hot topic. I agree with one post who said get your mind out of the gutter and she may not had a boob job..I like her as a person she is in the spotlight because the media places her there. "Wow, I had a nose job due to having basial cell carsonomia--or how ever you spell the darn word. They had to fix my nose and I had a Nose job!!!
There are some good post on here and I enjoy reading them..you people have some good points about what you think.. and I love it..

Do we really care if Sarah Palin got a boob job?? What is wrong with all this boob and rump talk. Gee" if a woman gets a boob job big deal. Who cares? Women get boob jobs or better said inplants. We focus on to much non-sense in this world when they are bigger issues---a lot bigger issues besides talking about Sarah Palin's boobs being bigger. What about the oil spill that is a bigger topic than her getting a boob job. I am not trashing her it is her business. Women everyday do things to their bodies to help their self-esteem or whatever reason. I am more concerned about BP and the oil spill.....

Phony Palin is pretty, if only that were enough for her.
She has an ego the size of Alaska.
Many on the crazy right will fall away from her
as she ages.

Sarah's looks are her gateway into political stardom. You think anyone would think twice about Liz Cheney were she not Dick's daughter? As for focusing on women, I'm a straight male, so what am I supposed to do? Can't solve out problems, so eye candy is a nice diversion.

Maybe people talk about shallow subjects in relation to Palin because she proved without doubt what a shallow person she is. McCain would never have chosen her if she weren't attractive. So desparate that it didn't matter that she had no idea what NAFTA was,didn't know what a VP did, couldn't name one "mavericky" thing that McCain ever did,gave a speech on the money being wasted for fruit fly research without knowing that fruit fly research is being done to help people with Down's Syndrome etc.

We need to be screaming "VAC BABY VAC!!" with the same enthusiasm they got the drills out there on the offshore. Also there are two very significant questions that need to be answered: (1) I saw Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser on CNN tonight and learned that they do not have the equipment needed (i.e., vacuumes) to keep the oil out of the marshes and save birds so they are using residential shop vacs. Why? After 50+ days, and the fact that hazmat vacs have been in use for years, is BP not being ORDERED to blanket the coast with vacs to vac up oil (which floats to the surface)??? That is inexcusable. Every bird life and stretch of wetland saved is worth it.
(2) I learned from the President of the American Birding Association who also was on CNN that there are thousands of persons with experience treating oil spilled birds in groups like the International Bird Rescue and Audubon who have not been contacted to help out in the Gulf and that there are not enough people out there going out there early enough in the morning. What is going on? Why aren't these people being contacted and used?
Anyone with resources needs to look into these questions or ask them.

I agree with Abe that this is the ultimate in non-news. But would reporters PLEASE stop talking about "shiny new breasts" like women are trying on a new dress!?! This is a major, invasive and completely unnecessary surgery. It's ain't "enhancement" either - it's absurdity!

Sarah Palin's boobs don't matter, but her inability to tell the truth about anything, ever, really does.

You're comparing her boobs now to her boobs pre-5-kids? Ummmmm, boobs change after 5 kids. That being said, it doesn't look like a boob job to me. Just a tacky black bra under a white t-shirt. Fashion DON'T. (Unless you're 15.)
