She's 100% manufactured.

[Lyric]

Her looks shouldn't matter, but since everyone seems to be hell-bent on talking about it (the MILF comments are especially icky...)

Beauty? Not much natural beauty at all, actually. Her features are unimpressive. She has good makeup artists and stylists, of course, but then again, I've rarely seen a powerful person who doesn't. Her "look" is carefully crafted and contrived, make no mistake.

For reference, let's be clear.

THIS is 100% natural, wonderful, TRUE beauty--inside and out:



THIS is manufactured pageantry, contrived and posed down to artfully "wispy" hair:



Now can we please stop going on about how "hot" she is? Really--she isn't. She's boring, to be honest. There are more important things to worry about, and every MILF comment just validates her as an opponent.

Edited to make my intentions more clear.

1. Michelle is absolutely magnificent!

Palin looks like a cross between Tina Fey and the MILF in 'American Pie'. Interesting.

[Lyric]

3. I just think it's stupid to keep going on about her looks.

Firstly, it's not her LOOKS that are the problem. Secondly, she ISN'T a VPILF, or whatever the hell that word is. She's average at best, with good makeup artists.

I don't even know why we're having these conversations, but if people just INSIST on commenting about her looks, we can at least get some perspective on it. I guess she's hot, if you're comparing her to Babs Bush or something. :puke:

8. What's a MILF??

I've been seeing that a lot

McCain/MILF '08.

Seriously, I don't know what it stands for.

[muffin1]

11. Mother I'd Like to F**k

or something close to that. Yuck.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. I'll admit. I DO think she's pretty.

On the outside, she's disgusting underneath.

Michelle is the real deal. Beautiful inside and out.

[Lyric]

6. I guess I just don't see it.

We all have different standards of beauty; I just sincerely don't see anything particularly pretty about her. She's too "made up" to suit my personal ideal of "beautiful." I wonder what she would look like without ten layers of makeup, ya know? It would probably be an improvement, at least in my view.

[Lint Head]

4. She's also a baby factory.

No disrespect. Wait. I'll take that back. I can't be respectful of someone that supports a fascist party that kills innocent people based on a lie. :dem:

[Hutzpa]

24. baby factory

bwahahahahaha!!


:rofl:

[viking11]

5. Why are her looks an issue?

What are you so threatened by? Why do you care how she looks? Grow the hell up,PLEASE!

[Lyric]

7. I'm not threatened by anything. And her looks SHOULDN'T

be an issue. But if people here insist on talking about it, I'm going to at least attempt to inject a little bit of perspective.

[Midlodemocrat]

10. STFU.

And go back under your fucking bridge.

[Lyric]

12. Lots of those around today.

I've seen more one-post trolls today than I did during the primaries. Weird.

[muffin1]

13. Wow.

You've been here a month, and this is the first thing you want to say?

[Mz Pip]

14. Well, when the resume

is less than a half sheet, one does have to wonder :wtf: this selection was all about.

[Left Is Write]

17. Wait a minute. People are going around calling Palin a MILF and a VPILF

and you're telling okterberain to grow up? You really think SHE'S the one who needs to grow up? Please.

[chatnoir]

9. She's absolutely not

Bleh. Totally don't get all this salivation by some over how 'hot' she is. Looks like Lynne Spears to me.

[RadicalTexan]

15. This thread is disgusting.

[Lyric]

16. Wow, another two-post troll. Tell me, which part is disgusting to you?

I suspect it's probably the part where I unequivocally state that a black women outshines Palin by a thousandfold, right?

Get over yourself. Go drool over Pukin somewhere else, troll.

[RadicalTexan]

19. I think it is hilarious that DUers think post-count somehow correlates with logical ability

or political knowledge.

FYI, I am a five-year lurker and sometime member who usually gets fed up around the 1000 post mark, leaves for a few months, then comes back when something politically interesting is happening (like, now).

I LOVE Michelle Obama. But comparing the physical attributes of two women in the public eye, as if they are livestock, is disgusting. No matter which party they're from. I personally find Sarah Palin's politics revolting. She is pretty much everything I am against.


Edited for syntax error.

[Lyric]

20. WHAT "logical ability?" You made a four-word value judgment

with absolutely nothing whatsoever to explain it or justify it. We've been mobbed with newly-signed-up Freepers all day. What did you expect--a welcoming committee?

Making a pissy remark isn't logic. And in light of your "explanation," I wonder if you even bothered to read my entire OP.

[RadicalTexan]

29. You're really helping the party with your attitude here!

"Wow, another two-post troll. Tell me, which part is disgusting to you?

"I suspect it's probably the part where I unequivocally state that a black women outshines Palin by a thousandfold, right?

"Get over yourself. Go drool over Pukin somewhere else, troll."

One thing you're right about: Making a pissy remark isn't logic.

Get over YOURSELF.

[Lyric]

30. Nice way to completely dodge my point.

I think my initial assessment was spot-on. Goodbye, troll.

[countingbluecars]

18. I think she is attractive,

but nothing really special. It is just her age that makes her stand out in the political world. Most high profile women are more mature (and many beautiful IMO) because they have worked their way up the ladder. That takes time and experience. Once in a blue moon someone, usually someone with great intelligence and/or with notable life experience defies the norm. Palin has neither.

[demwing]

21. Oh she takes a good photo, no doubt

But as my uncle Lee used to say - "Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes down to the bone"

[Bucky]

22. Thank you for this stupid post. Michelle's whisp of hair is natural, Palin's is manufactured

Judging women by their looks instead of by their character and the record of service is sexist and dumb--particularly this year when Michelle Obama has a far stronger record of service. The only thing manufactured here is your delusional theory that you can tell someone's worth by how pretty you happen to find them.

[WinkyDink]

26. What makes you so sure Michelle's "wisp...is natural"? Seriously?

[Bucky]

28. Are you one of those people who needs a sarcasm smily?

I don't give a damn about politicians' hair styles. The OP was calling Palin's hairstyle "contrived" and contrasting it with Michelle Obama's natural beauty. I was indirectly calling the OP a shallow asshole.

[mitchum]

23. Agreed; she's not even a very hot GMILF

[WinkyDink]

25. No offense, but I'd bet a LOT that both women wear about the same types of make-up.

And Palin, in that photo, has a "normal" look for her age and in a photo.
As for the hair, don't both women have that hanging forelock?

[MarianJack]

27. Michelle is absolutely LOVELY.

She'll do us PROUD as our first lady.

BTW, Jill Biden is also very beautiful. BOTH of our team spouses are elegant ladies!
