The cover girl reappears

[Stinky The Clown]

1. I find her monumentally unattractive

[mike_c]

12. seriously?

I think she's a twit, but "monumentally unattractive?" Hell, even Ann Coulter is honestly just a bit too lanky for my tastes-- my SO notes that I like "curvy women," LOL-- but the only people I find genuinely unattractive are those who look profoundly unhealthy. Palin looks healthy as a horse.

'Course, there are lots of dimensions to attraction, and I don't think I'd last 10 minutes in conversation with her.

Struggling not to make obviously sexist comments here, but dammit, it's an obviously sexist subthread!

[Cheap_Trick]

She's extremely ugly on the inside

and that affects how I view her on the outside. Ugly is as ugly does.

[mike_c]

19. no disputing that....

Yup.

[Cheap_Trick]

15. delete. dupe nt

[Nye Bevan]

35. Meow meow. Scratch.

For a male, you're pretty catty.

[Stinky The Clown]

45. Why do you say that?

[Nye Bevan]

47. Because you seem to be somewhat obsessed with the issue of Palin's attractiveness,

to the point of even starting threads about it:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4445882&mesg_id=4445882

"Cheap and brassy"? "Librarian in a porno"? On this issue, methinks you doth protest too much.

[DFW]

37. So do I. I never got the "attractive" part of this gig

OK, she's "well-endowed," and her hairdresser probably has fun every now and then.
But "attractive?" Yecch!! Maybe I'm spoiled, but I just do NOT find this woman at
all attractive. Knowing her putrid personality doesn't help, either.

[hamsterjill]

50. I find her "transparent".

I see right through her. Her motive is to do anything and everything for money, fame, and attention.

[JoePhilly]

67. I find her to be fake, and as a result very unattractive.

[Taverner]

68. She is in those pictures

She looks like Walter Mondale

[my2sense]

2. .

:popcorn:

[Stinky The Clown]

30. Why the popcorn?

Attractiveness is not just physical appearance. Physically, she is acceptable. But that, for me, is a small part of attraction. She is ugly to her core, a hateful, nasty, vindictive, harpy. *That* is where her unattractiveness comes from.

[DFW]

66. Yeah, and she's not the brightest star in the constellation, either....

[hedgehog]

3. I grew up wearing a uniform at Catholic school, so I'm pretty conservative,

but it strikes me that that neckline is barely office acceptable. Or maybe that shirt is just too small.

[ZombieHorde]

24. I wore a uniform in Catholic School too. I used to have a cute, clip-on tie. nt

[Nye Bevan]

42. If you consider that neckline "barely acceptable" then yes, you are pretty conservative (nt)

[ecstatic]

4. That picture is awful. I guess they decided

not to photoshop? :shrug:

[lpbk2713]

5. Not my idea of a cover girl.

But then Newsweak always did have low standards.

[MADem]

6. She's a real winner all right....she's "winning" like Charlie Sheen.

That's not "confidence"--it's delusion!

[KittyWampus]

22. Words to live by- That's not "confidence"--it's delusion!

[flamin lib]

7. Looks like she has Spunk & Moxie. nt

[KharmaTrain]

36. And You Know What Lou Grant Said About That???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNyj4FV56JY



:rofl:

[BellaLuna]

8. Her head looks too big for her body here

Is it just me - this looks odd.

[spanone]

9. hell 'i can win too' i ain't gonna run, but prove i can't?

he sarah, no one gives a shit if you run...

[ThatsMyBarack]

10. Aw man you made me LOOK!

UGH! :puke: x 10!

[monmouth]

11. Not a good photo at all. Usually she looks quite pretty but this

is not one of them.

[JuniperLea]

13. Not at all...

And it's shocking! I bet she's pissed!

On the other hand, perhaps all this attention has been too much for her... she appears to have aged considerably.

I bet once her age starts showing, her ego will force her to get out of the self-imposed limelight.

[ecstatic]

17. The reason why is her hair is all to one side and her full chin is exposed

There are all sorts of tricks people can do to minimize certain features. Her hair usually camouflages her chin, which looks similar to Jay Leno's when her hair is pulled back. Also, she usually wears more blush to emphasize her cheek bones. See:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2011/07/11/sarah-palin-s-newsweek-cover-shoot.html

[JuniperLea]

21. We have a joke around my house...

When you pose for a picture, you must do the chin tuck, head tilt, duckface look!

:rofl:

Sarah could benefit from these tips! It's true!

[MADem]

31. I've seen Leno's chin at close range, and it' a fearful thing

When I paid attention to the photo, I see what you mean!

[trusty elf]

14. This would have made a better cover photo.

[hifiguy]

16. That she shares a cover with the blurb

"My Life as Voldemort" (even though that is about Ralph Fiennes) is more than ironic. :rofl: Voldemort was another - albeit fictional - egotistical asshole who greatly underestimated the forces of good.

[Arugula Latte]

18. Oh, look -- Moxie and Spunk are back.

Wait ... That was Katherine Harris.

[SoCalDem]

20. From the neck up, she's starting to show her age.. still attractive

(mostly to 45+ rightwing men), but she's not the "hottie" in that pic.. She got some good genes, and has taken good care of herself..too bad she did not do some "brain & soul" work on herself too:)

[eridani]

23. She won't run. That would require spending money, not taking it in n/t

[SidDithers]

25. She reminds me of Kathleen Harris..nt

Sid

[Blue_In_AK]

26. The other photos in this shoot are much, much worse.

If you link to the Newsweek article and go to about page 3, there's a link to the other photos. It's embedded in this funny Mudflats piece. http://www.themudflats.net/2011/07/11/palin-on-the-presidency-family-her-film-and-jerky-rage/

[Ikonoklast]

27. I thought Moose Jaw was in Saskatchewan.

It appears I was mistaken.

[lumberjack_jeff]

28. Where's Dr Hfuhruhurr?

This is a perfect candidate into which to implant a better brain.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085894/

[seabeyond]

29. looks like reeves superman cover.... give her a cape. nt

[Glimmer of Hope]

32. I can't imagine that will be a hot seller for Newsweek.

33. UPDATE: Palin's advice on debt ceiling: 'Reload with reality'

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/14/palins-advice-on-debt-ceiling-reload-with-reality/



Palin's advice on debt ceiling: 'Reload with reality'
By Rebecca Stewart

(CNN) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had sharp words for both President Obama and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell late Wednesday as she criticized their handling of the looming debt ceiling deadline.

"It's absolutely nonsensical the lack of planning that our leaders are exercising and showing their constituents coming out of D.C. right now," she said...

Palin, who said she'll decide on a bid for the 2012 GOP nomination for president by August or September, also gave advice to Republicans engaged in debt negotiations with the executive-in-chief.

"We cannot default but we cannot afford to retreat either, now is not the time to retreat. It's the time to reload and we reload with reality," she said.

[graywarrior]

34. Her jaw looks like she's on steroids

[DFW]

38. It does, at that

Maybe she got a partial gene transplant from Arnold Schwarzenegger?

[graywarrior]

63. She'll be back

over and over and over again.

[demigoddess]

49. her cover in 2008, which was a closeup, really showed her whiskers

the lady has way too much testosterone in her system. Does she need steroids??

[Nye Bevan]

51. You win the cattiest comment competition!

When women are discussing a woman more attractive than themselves, watch those claws come out!

[graywarrior]

64. I'm way better looking than she is

Just ask me.

[geardaddy]

39. Where's her wedding ring?

[grahamhgreen]

40. Note the story: "HOW BANKS KILLED REFORM". We still need to repeal the financial services

modernization act.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

41. The Bird Cage Liner reappears.

[LiberalAndProud]

43. Oh stop.

Sleazy journalism at it's worst. The woman isn't running, hasn't announced and isn't likely to. Leave her to Alaska and let the rest of us get on with it. I am doubly glad I don't subscribe to that magazine. It's fulltime ragtime these days.

[Nye Bevan]

44. I *love* judging women based upon their physical appearance on Democratic websites!

Here's another one! Have at it, people!

[hedgehog]

48. The difference is that Sarah implicitly runs on her appearance.

I'm sure Hillary Clinton likes to look nice, but my impression is that her real focus is on the job at hand.

On edit : as proof - how many times has Sarah had her photo taken running or fishing or whatever. She presents herself as someone who looks good posing as an athlete.

[fascisthunter]

54. why do you care?

you obviously seem more hung up on her looks than some DUers. Or is it because it's Palin and not Hillary? Hillary looks bad in that pic, are ya happy now?

[Nye Bevan]

55. Because on a Democratic website I would like to move on from judging women based on their looks

There are about a billion legitimate criticisms of Palin. So why attack her jawline and her hands?

[fascisthunter]

57. eh... I agree... I could care less about her looks, I dislike her character more

you know why people are doing it though... it's really about the person she is... also, she does use her looks, so in a sense it is fair game, however shallow it is.

[Whisp]

60. I think a lot of republican men are fugly as hell too.

does that make it right with you?

sarah palin's ugliness does not come from her physical looks, it comes from her wizened heart and her ugly soul.

[RebelOne]

56. Thank you. I had a similar thought. n/t

[piratefish08]

46. "My Life As Voldemort" plays well next to the Quitter's photo.

[semillama]

52. Is it just me, or does she sorta look like Rumsfeld?

And does she not realize she's totally overshadowed by Bachmann?

[Poll_Blind]

53. Don't you think she looks...tired?

:shrug:

PB

[RadiationTherapy]

58. Thank you for your anonymous $50,000 donation, EDGE FITNESS.

hahahahaha.

[Whisp]

59. I find her extraordinarily ugly looking

why people call her 'attractive' I have no idea.
she looks like something evil that crawled out of the basement

[Islandlife]

61. Not meant to be the most flattering pic

I doubt that Newsweek tried to use their most flattering pic if Palin. Would you?

Be careful of accepting iconic images of people created by any for profit/benefit media. That's how we ended up with Hope and Change. Marketing, marketing, marketing.

[negativenihil]

62. if she is so confident...

...why hasn't she jumped into the race yet?

Seriously. Piss or get off the pot already.

[Wounded Bear]

65. Note to Sarah: Confidence is that feeling you have.....

before you understand the situation.

;)
