Sarah Palin Loses Her Mind

I don't think the people who hire news anchors think "'cute' in female political candidates is as essential to the job as 'cute' in news anchors".

And no one knows on what basis the GOP was able to convince McCain into accepting Palin. I promise you no one used "she's attractive, so that and that alone makes her a good pick for VP".

And yet I've yet to see a thread on Palin that didn't descend into the horny yahoos describing how hot she makes them

Not one in 12 years.

Nah, you said you liked the idea of a cute woman running on a major ticket.

I didn't realize Palin had a mind to lose.

She actually has two minds. One's lost and the other is out looking for it.

No. At a guess, they huddled and said "Look, John, there's your age and your bouts with cancer as negatives. We have to counter those with someone younger and high-energy and female to pull in the younger and the male-undecided vote."

Judging from the in this forum before everyone realized she was batshit crazy, it did influence voting trends among certain demographics. The ones Robin Williams was talking about when he said (I'm paraphrasing) "God gave men two heads but only enough blood supply to use one at a time."

I give you rookie reporter, JD Roberts (circa 1979)

one thing for Palin... she was a rather unique hybrid of country girl and suburban hockey mom. Beyond the vanilla appeal there's a class myth that she managed to epitomize by straddling the two images.

heh-it'd be like if Shania Twain ran for Prime Minister... well, maybe Lee Aaron.

Palin is attractive as long as she keeps her mouth shut.

That Minnesoooota-sounding thing she's got going on is annoying as hell. Almost as bad as a Boston Southie accent.

Oh, come one. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon don't sound annoying. Ok, maybe a little.

There's a lot more to beauty than just a face, and on all counts Sarah Palin is not attractive.

So only in your imagination then.

So you believe the GOP chose her for her extensive experience.

I don't know why McCain chose her, but I doubt it was because, "she's hot."

That's not what I said. Try reading for comprehension this time.

You're creating a situation in your head that likely didn't happen.

What part of "at a guess" did you not understand? And kindly link to where I said "McCain chose her because she was hot."

McCain didn't choose her. The GOP did.

It was because McCain had zero appeal with a large part of the conservative base who still thought he was a RINO. Palin energized those voters.

I prefer my dumb blondes to be actually blonde.

OMG that was fucking awesome. Sarah is the gift that keeps on giving. Now that she is doing her own shit and does not have someone interfering with her choices and edits I could watch it all day. I do not want anyone to be under her legal authority, but there is something about her that makes me want to watch. From her concession in front of the turkey killing machine I have just always loved her cuteness. I think that is it. She has that cute quality of a really stupid cat or dog that is just going to do things their way.

If it weren't for the fact people would actually vote for her, I would be great with her trying for a political position. It is really not her I am bothered with, it is the people who would vote for her that I want bad things to happen to.

They only sound annoying when they let that boston thing out. Then it is like nails on a chalkboard.

Well, as governor of Alaska, she certainly had vast tracts of land.

Yeah, but most of it is frozen tundra.

Translation: McCain had too many braincells, so they needed a meathead to balance him out for the mouth-breathing rubes to not be scared.

Yes we all got the reference.
