Hey grownups ..... do you remember going for that first job ...... ?

[Stinky The Clown]

.... and puffing up your resume in an attempt to make a stint on the school's autumn leaf raking volunteer team look like something?

That's what we got .....

[csziggy]

1. Those glasses look like a stage prop - the lens do not magnify her eyes at all

The way prescription or corrective lenses wold. I'll bet she wears them to seem more intellectual.

And what is with that 1960s beehive? Reminds me of this book:

[avaistheone1]

9. Bet you are correct.

Where's her flag pin? lol

[TahitiNut]

12. I'm sorry, but she reminds me of nothing more than a second rate porn star ....

... in that awful, stereotypical "librarian-as-vamp" sequence with the fake eyeglasses and hair pinned up. How many times has it been replayed, even in farce, that she takes off the glasses, un-pins the hair, and unbuttons the blouse as she succumbs to the 'charms' of one of Clarence Thomas's heroes???

It's appalling.

[Wednesdays]

15. Maybe that's the point

Not the appalling part, but rather the subliminal image the 'pukes are trying to evoke in male voters' minds.

It's the epitome of cynicism.

[TahitiNut]

18. I don't think they can think any other way than objectification ... 'types'.

I think the fascist right is totally embedded in such attitudes... human labor as a commodity and women as chattel and children as political cannon fodder. Character and integrity and authenticity and empathy and compassion and respect are just slogans to some people ... not the very core of their outlook.

[Fumesucker]

14. My eyes are one fairly nearsighted and one slightly farsighted.

Neither eye looks particularly distorted in pictures.

The correction has to be quite strong before it really shows, strong enough where you are damn near blind without the glasses.

At 44 those could be smooth bifocals too.. I've been wearing them since about that age.

[baldguy]

2. It's Janet from Three's Company!

All growed up!

[csziggy]

13. Wow - they do look a lot alike. Or maybe it's the makeup and hair

[grasswire]

3. I call it the tyranny of mediocrity.

Or perhaps it's even the "soft bigotry of low expectations."

It's almost like a reality TV show. A totally unqualified person is catapulted into the seat of power. Can she do it?

Like "So you think you can dance?"

[Stinky The Clown]

4. I almost feel sorry for her.

She's going to get destroyed. She is so **monumentally** insubstantial.

[grasswire]

6. not me

She knows her role. She's the magnet for incoming. People will focus on her shortcomings and McC. can rise above.

[Breeze54]

5. I can't wait for SNL ... they're going to rake her over the coals!!

:P

And as far as her experience... she's claiming some

years on a town council board as VP experience?! :wtf:

"I have 13 years as an elected official." - Sarah Palin -

Give me a frigging break!!

[alfredo]

7. I was ten years old, I had no resume.

[Breeze54]

8. Tina Fey (SNL) and Sarah Palin

Tina Fey


Palin


:rofl:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

10. She did a great job as mayor

A town of - what? - 9,000, or a few less, and she left it $20,000,000 in debt.

George W. Bush must think she's the bee's knees.

[stillcool]

11. it's all about the photo-op...

and the blank slate. Why doesn't he just use a cardboard cutout and save the woman her soul?

[apocalypsehow]

16. My first job was sacking groceries at Safeway. There are days I wish I could have it back...

:beer:

[madrchsod]

17. hell i still do......

she`s a real winner.....not
