    Somehow, I doubt she'll age as well as, say, Dame Judy Dench.

    Maybe as well as Cher?

    What's disappointing, though, is that we're discussing this, instead of her glaring faults--after all, physical appearance doesn't actually help in matters of governance, just in matters of PR.

    Which is why Dana Perrino seems to be less despised than say, Ari Fleisher.

      Chiming in as a heterosexual male, Palin is attractive. I think a bit over-rated, but attractive. And the fact that I think she is over-rated may have to do with the fact that she is old enough to be my mom...'s younger sister.
      You've just proven signature advertising works!

        I think she is a bit overrated too, but part of that is also she is compared to her peers, ie, other female politicians.

          The age difference being about three years.

            Governor Sebelius has aged well; I'm sure she was a looker in her youth? Same with former Governor Whitman? Admittedly, I'm not the best expert on this sort of thing, but I'd prefer them (now and when they were younger) for companionship?

              Ehhh, what? She's 7 years younger than my mom and 17 years older than me...

                Whitman was about 47 when she became the Gov of NJ and Palin is better looking than Whitman was back then.

                  Bush never met a spending bill he couldn't sign. Neither, much of the GOP congress. Exhibit 1: Tom DeLay.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                    Ah, yes, I forgot the .

                    Still, 17 years older would still mean she's old enough to be your mom.

                      You really think so? I dunno, maybe it's the plasticine face of Palin's that bothers me. Even if she hasn't had any plastic surgery, the sunbed tanning makes her look... fake.

                        There are various definitions of feminism. Some legitimate forms allow for sex appeal as a weapon.

                          Indeed. Often times, those strains are used to justify how things like Girls Gone Wild are really sticking it to the man, though.

                            I would heartily support a topless review for Palin.

                            ...as just one thing that comes to mind after reading your post.

                              Isn't 17 the normal age to become mother in her family?

                                Do you honestly think they'd be worth looking at after the ravages of time and multiple childbirths?
