Talk about reducing your credibility as any sort of political figure, what the hell was she thinking? Scratch that, what the hell was she drinking and was her closet so depleted that she needed to raid her daughter's?

That getup would get her sneered at in the local Walmart and my local Walmart is in the ghetto in the desert.

my daughter in Scottsdale called to tell me that she just spent time with Sarah Palin at a nail shop (getting her nails painted red, white and blue)... she described her as "very attractive, in a trashy sort of way"

my other daughter (TSA at Sky Harbor) has checked her ID going through security and said much the same thing... did say she had some awesome cowboy boots on once

Nikki Haley, hell, even Laura Bush. Pick one, any one.

None of them would be caught dead in this. Why? Because they value being taken as professionals and they understand that to be taken seriously you have to dress the part.

This outfit screams immaturity and un-serious. Simply awful.

I don't hate the shoes, per se, as much as some of the some of the other responders to this thread (though I don' like them), but I hate how inappropriate they are for anyone who wants to be taken seriously as a politician. Like it or not, we do get judged based on how we present ourselves, and she's presenting herself as a 50-year-old who wants to look 17.

Really?

I mean when you basically allow the dominate male GOP politicians to walk all over our sex with denying us basic healthcare rights and job equality does it matter how tart up you can dress?


I don't care what Sarah Palin wears - she can go around campaigning naked for all I care. What I care is her archaic views that would set the United States and especially women back 100 years if she was allowed to write GOP policies & platform.

She is shameful.

Remember she is the one who said she shops at second hand stores (LOL). With this outfit I can believe that. Even Steelman looks better than her dressed down. There is nothing worse seeing an old lady trying to dress like she is a teenager. But then again its a Palin and she childlike.
