The 'New' Sarah Palin: Big Hair and a Rock Star Jumpsuit. (Caution - photo)

[trof]

Gone is the 'gotta run get the kids from school' flip up.
Swingin', baby!



From her speech, quote of the day:
"He got the gun, I got the rack"

WHOA, MOMMA!!!
(she gave him a gun for Christmas, he gave her a gun rack)
The clowning continues.

[HipChick]

1. why does she have the hands of an 80yr old woman?

[JI7]

4. she lost too much weight too quick

[DollarBillHines]

17. Gollee, I wonder how she did it

one look at her hands pretty much tells the story.

[MattBaggins]

67. This. Dehydration from crash dieting for this appearance.

[DollarBillHines]

5. Cake make-up doesn't work on hands

but meth does.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

37. Yep.

She didn't get claws like that from Nutri-System . . .

[WCLinolVir]

6. She doesn't. I'll assume you have never seen the hands of an 80 yr old woman.

[Ikonoklast]

10. My own mother is 83, and her hands don't look near than bony and hook-like.

In fact, Mom still has the hands of a typist/stenographer that can do over 100 words a minute to this day.

[Frustratedlady]

34. Arthritis from absorbing all those speech cues

She's what they call ridden hard and put away wet.

[Brother Buzz]

41. It's from all that industrial solvent used in manufacturing methamphetamine and....

removing crib notes from hands

[DollarBillHines]

2. Damn, woman, lose the footwear!

Fucking clown act.

[trof]

12. Nikes?

Some kinda sneaks.

[Erose999]

111. Jumpsuits and Nikes. Seems like there was a cult that had that uniform. Heaven's Gate I think it was

called.

[HangOnKids]

13. That Is Like A Stripper Wearing Birkenstocks

Totally fucking WRONG WRONG WRONG.

[MissMarple]

84. They may be a pair of platform pumps.

Some of them look a bit funky.

[bunnies]

3. Its a sweater and jeans.

just sayin.

[siligut]

11. The belt makes it look like a jumpsuit

She seems to be playing to the NASCAR crowd.

[HiPointDem]

22. i saw that too. but a jumpsuit is easier to bash. because criticizing female politicians on

account of their clothing choices is such a progressive feminist value.

[bunnies]

38. Not only that...

but theres absolutely nothing wrong with this outfit. Except for maybe the belt, which is a bit too gaudy for my taste, I would totally wear this and I guarantee Ive worn similar. Seriously. Theres not a fiber of my being that wants to defend Sarah Palin, but this is just too much.

[JustAnotherGen]

52. And ditto you too!

75% of my closet is black. I have on a black sweater and black pants today. And agree on the belt - that's hideous. But in my book? I'm not getting why we are A) picking on her for how she's dressed because I like what she's wearing and B) Why we are picking on her for how she's dressed/looked.


Can we please stick to: She's an obnoxious asshole with the IQ of of a cotton ball who triggered the hateful speech and intent towards the ENTIRE OBAMA FAMILY and wonders why some of us don't even hate her? We think she's too wet to step on and too low to kick and only think about her when someone posts something about her at DU.

[JustAnotherGen]

51. Ditto you!

[ronnie624]

64. Exactly.

The comments are silly because they're inspired by hate and no substance.

[trof]

25. Still pretty damn slinky.

Don't look like no soccer mom to me.

[bunnies]

40. I think we have different definitions of slinky.

[shenmue]

7. She's still evil.

I tried to read one of her books. My eyes twinged.

[Paul E Ester]

24. How did this torture come about?

How does one find themselves sitting down with a book from sarah? There must be a good story.

[Brigid]

50. You tried to read one of her books?

Did you lose a bet or something?

[llmart]

8. Hey, Sarah.....

Elvis called and he wants his belt back!

[marions ghost]

16. ya beat me to it

!!!

[tanyev]

9. Is that from CPAC? I thought they had a dress code.

[Hekate]

14. Ms. Sarah went rogue! No blazers for her.

[Erose999]

112. Only CLOSERS get to wear the red blazer.

[Logical]

15. She is a nice looking woman. Just evil and stupid as shit. n-t

[llmart]

18. Have you had your eyes checked lately?

She's anorexic - trying to be 16 again. She is clearly one of those women who won't take to the aging process very well because she has used her looks to get what she wanted. She's also a narcissist, so that doesn't bode well for anyone as they go through the aging process - men or women narcissists.

That Big Gulp she was drinking? That was probably all she would allow herself to consume for a day. Well, that and whatever other "substances" she's on.

[Logical]

19. Most men would think she was attractive. I hate her but she is not bad looking. n-t

[llmart]

20. Not the men I know.

They think she's ugly inside and out. These are men who can't separate the person's character from the person's body. Maybe I just don't know enough men of the type that would find her attractive.

[Aristus]

29. Damn straight. Her beauty is just skin-deep; but her ugly is to the BONE!

n/t

[Orsino]

36. No, she is pretty.

It just gets harder to remember that when every word she says is stupid, ugly or both. But as you say, it can be tough to distinguish looks from character.

If she weren't pretty, we might never have heard of her. No Miss Wasilla = no mayorship = no governorship/2 = no McCain = no wall-to-wall TV coverage.

It would just be nice if she were something more than merely pretty.

[mac56]

43. She ain't pretty

She just looks that way.

[Orsino]

58. +1. n/t

[HiPointDem]

23. she's not anorexic, and she's wearing pants and a sweater with a flashy belt. whoa, stop the

presses!!!!

[Fawke Em]

66. She looks anorexic to me.

Look at her face. She's always had high cheekbones, but they were more full when she ran in 2008. Now, they're sunken and drawn.

She's not eating - or she's very ill.

[RebelOne]

68. I wish I looked that anorexic.

I despise her, but I think she is attractive.

[Fawke Em]

92. Secret (not really)

I think she's pretty, but she's gone downhill in what looks like an unhealthy way; however, when I say that to my husband (that I think she's pretty), he looks at me like I'm insane. He thinks she's as plastic as a Barbie Doll.

I need to lose a few pounds, but.. you're gonna laugh... when hubby and I went out Saturday to celebrate St. Pat, every time he left the table to go to the bar or relieve himself, some dude would sit down to flirt with his wife. While I found the advances odd, it made me happy that I don't have to be bone thin to be cute.

[HipChick]

30. she's wearing a wig and caked makeup...Men are easily

fooled..she's still a ditto head

[Logical]

42. I agree men are easy. n-t

[Rob H.]

65. Was she wearing a wig?

I saw a clip of the Big Gulp video and it looked to have been dyed and teased up within an inch of it's life but not like a wig. (Maybe it was all the hot air coming out of her mouth that was poufing it up. )

Edited to add that I hope only GOP men are that easily fooled--some of the stupid stuff that comes out of mouth on a regular basis...oy! I didn't know it was humanly possible to come up with that much word salad on the fly in such a short period of time.

[loli phabay]

35. yup she is pretty good looking regardless of her beliefs.

[Kingofalldems]

44. Of course.

[loli phabay]

47. glad you agree with me.

[Kingofalldems]

48. Don't think so.

[muntrv]

21. 1980 called. They want their wardrobe back.

[Kalidurga]

26. This is a train wreck...

only I can't help but gawk at this a bit. A train wreck well I try to avert my eyes, I don't like real tragedies. At least we averted this one.

[Initech]

27. Don't forget the Big Gulp!

[Warren DeMontague]

83. Ermahgerd

Berg Gerlp

[ZRT2209]

28. Dear Lord, save us from your followers

[name not needed]

31. Why is she dressed like Kenny Powers?

[Monk06]

32. So she's bangin' Russell Brand now?

[Fawke Em]

93. Russell wouldn't have her.

Gee.. he's not THAT bad. Gosh.

[Warpy]

33. She desperately needs the crew at "What not to Wear"

Totally honky tonk and it makes her thickening waist look even bigger than it actually is.

BTW, Sarah, your figure has changed permanently. Don't try to diet a waistline back, that doesn't work. It's a corset or learning how to dress it better.

[Fawke Em]

94. You think she has a big waistline?

Um... maybe you need to warp back in time.

She's skinny. The only "thickening" I see is in her mind and in your opinion.

There's not an ounce of fat on her waist.

God, I hope I never meet you in person. I'm a relatively small person whose waist is thicker than hers, but I'm not huge. I'm sure you'd find me awful.

[Warpy]

102. I might, but your waist would have nothing to do with it.

Her figure has changed, although that picture doesn't show it well. Turning 50 is the great equalizer. Our bodies change whether we try to starve ourselves thin or not.

[David Zephyr]

39. Meth does that to a person.

.

[Nye Bevan]

45. Wow. I don't think I've ever seen so much cattiness in one thread before.

First of all, that is very obviously not a "jumpsuit".

Second, she looks absolutely fine. She is attractive and is in great shape. Her problem is in her ignorant smallmindedness, not her appearance. I believe that the unbecoming catty remarks are a combination of (1) jealousy of her attractiveness, and (2) DUers believing that by attacking the looks and fashion sense of Republican women, they somehow burnish their liberal credentials.

[RebelOne]

70. Agreed. I think it is all jealousy from female posters.

Many of them wish they looked that good at her age.

[Fawke Em]

97. Some of us do.

And don't act like freaks.

[NCTraveler]

72. +1

[The Straight Story]

46. I think she would do well in a remake of the tv show Married with Children

Rove could play Al Bundy

[Coyotl]

49. Elvis called. He wants his outfit back.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

53. Same as the old Sarah Palin.

In other words, nothing but a joke.

[CrispyQ]

54. I miss unrec.

There are lots of reasons to dislike Palin, but her appearance & what she wears, are not two of them.

Grow the fuck up.

PS - I would totally wear that outfit. I think it looks cool & I love the belt.

[progressoid]

56. Yeah, I think if one of "ours" were wearing that we wouldn't be so judgemental.

If we were to only judge her just by her appearance, she would be fine. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing on the inside that is appealing.

[Nye Bevan]

60. Yep. If it was a Dem it would be all "You go Girl! Totally rocking!" (nt)

[trof]

79. "I would totally wear that outfit." Fine, have at it, but...

You weren't a candidate for vice-president of the United States.
You didn't quit in a huff after serving half your term as governor of a state.

Governing is actually hard work if you try to do a decent job of it, no matter what your politics.

She's a bad political joke and I plan to ridicule her at every opportunity.
Can you even imagine her one heartbeat away from the presidency?
I hope she's around as a repug standard bearer for a long time.

[CrispyQ]

86. Then ridicule her for being a quitter & incompetent.

When you knock her for what she wears & how she looks, you come across as a sexist jerk. My apologies if I've missed your posts where you mock incompetent men politicians for their looks & clothing.

[R B Garr]

90. Except that she wore this to CPAC. If she was just out and about, okay

but she wore this to a political conference and she was once a candidate for the second most important office in the country, so you would think she would have the sense to dress the part. But she doesn't have the sense, and that's not being catty and/or a sexist jerk to notice her utter lack of decorum.

[Gravitycollapse]

96. It is definitely catty and absolutely sexist.

I bet a good proportion of the attendees at CPAC were dressed like total morons. Probably a lot of American flag shirts.

Yet we aren't talking about those people, are we?

[R B Garr]

100. And how do total morons dress? To me, a total moron is someone who manages to diminish themsevles

as totally and completely as Sarah Palin has done. That's not catty. It's just an observation about her own choices in how she presents herself. Did you hear her joke about her rack?

As far as the CPAC morons, they were not in attendance as a formal representative of their political party so, no, we're not talking about them. Sarah Palin was representing her party, and she came in as a former vice presidential candidate looking like someone ready to hit the bars. It's not sexist to notice when someone is inappropriate.

[HappyMe]

104. Who are you to say

what's inappropriate?

[R B Garr]

105. I guess I'm just someone who was forced to take her seriously for awhile

during a presidential campaign, but I don't have to take her seriously anymore. If she wants to dress like a lounge singer in front of her political peers at a professional gathering, that's on her. I can notice it and make fun of her, though.

[HappyMe]

106. You took her seriously?

Okay.

Black pants and a black blouse aren't lounge singer clothes, but whatever.

[R B Garr]

108. I was forced to take her seriously

because she could have been my Vice President since she was on a national ticket. That would have been horrifying.

[CrispyQ]

103. I think it looks nice & is appropriate.

As a senseless woman, I am grateful to have others tell me that I'm dressed inappropriately.

[R B Garr]

107. Something tells me that you probably wouldn't wear that to a professional commitment

You seem like you have a lot of sense There are a lot of intelligent people at this forum.

Now, going out for drinks afterwards and socializing, that seems like a good bar hopping outfit for sexy time.

[redqueen]

114. +1

Superficiality is shitty.

[HappyMe]

55. I don't think she looks too skinny.

I wouldn't wear that belt ever, but she looks fine. She may very well have arthritis in her hands. She's a goofball and her politics are weird, but picking on her clothes doesn't make us any more liberal/progressive. I'm kind of a 'wear whatever the hell you want' person.

[Loup Garou]

57. How about this see-through blouse that she wore back in July, 2012? Classy, huh?

[Nye Bevan]

61. I don't think "see-through" means what you think it means (nt)

[Loup Garou]

62. MW defines see-through as transparent

Sarah Palin's bra and the top of her pants are visible, therefore, her blouse is transparent.

[Nye Bevan]

74. OK, I see your point (nt)

[one_voice]

59. Well I wouldn't wear the belt...

but other than that, it's just black pants and a black shirt. I think the outfit without the belt is probably something every woman has in her closet. I know I do. Can't really see her shoes. I'm not a fan of her hair, I think it would look pretty if she calmed it down a little.

Really nothing wrong with her clothes here, other than the belt.

Now, if were talking about her that's a whole 'nother conversation.

[RebelOne]

71. I'd wear that belt. n/t

[CrispyQ]

87. Me too!

A vegan version anyway.

[R B Garr]

63. I think she looks absolutely ridiculous but in context

She's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is not now, nor has she ever been, someone to be taken seriously. Her choice of clothing is just proving that over and over again. Of course it's not just the clothing. That pales in comparison to anything she has ever tried to communicate that she stands for. Everything about her screams that she is not a serious person.

Now, for a ditzy wanna-be-21-again dingbat, she looks okay in her outfits since it brings out her true persona. She just always makes me laugh because she was hoisted upon us as someone to be taken seriously, when it's obvious she's been a clown all along.

[Nye Bevan]

69. Hey folks, here's another belt to ridicule!

Who wants to go first?

[Nye Bevan]

75. Come on people! There are so many fashionistas in this thread! Nobody got an opinion? (nt)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

81. It's no different than Rs bustin' on Hillary's pantsuits.

Or Coulter trying to diminish Sandra Fluke because of her hairstyle.

Yet another dumb fucking thread...

[R B Garr]

89. I don't think this is a belt vs. belt type of commentary

but you can certainly reduce it to that if you like.

[Autumn]

82. That's an ugly belt.

[nolabear]

73. I think the flag pin is a nice touch. "I'm a hot mess but at least I'm hot...AMERICA!!!"

[Blue Owl]

76. The rack and such

n/t

[Historic NY]

77. Must be part of the Elvis collection left over from the 70's.

Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love .

[Nye Bevan]

85. OK. Not only sexist but now classist and elitist.

I'm not sure whether any DUers live in trailers, but if there are I don't think that they would like your post.

On edit: and the jury concurred 5-1. Thanks again jurors for your time.

[winter is coming]

80. Hiding crib notes in her hair now? n/t

[olddots]

88. lets talk about her inner beauty

anyone ........anyone ?

[gollygee]

91. This is ridiculous

Do we have to judge the attractiveness of every woman? She looks fine, and so what if she didn't. If you want to complain about her politics, have at it, but this makes us look stupid.

[Gravitycollapse]

95. This is a not-so-thinly veiled sexist post.

[Fawke Em]

98. I dunno. I think Scalia looks like trash.

Can I say that?

[Gravitycollapse]

99. Do you enjoy denegrating your political enemies for being unattractive?

[Fawke Em]

109. Um... it has nothing to do with his looks.

He's an asshole on the inside and you can smell it on the outside.

[Jamaal510]

101. Why is there a "caution" in the title?

She doesn't even look bad in this photo, to be honest.

[Javaman]

110. She auditioning for the Abba/Johnny Cash cover band?

my sincere apologies to both bands.
