The ridiculousness of Sarah Palin being selected as John McCain's vice presidential running mate becomes more absurd by the day. Every time she opens her mouth to speak, she seems unable to remove her foot from it first. From the obvious flaw of her lack of an adequate formal education, to her misinformation regarding the Constitution or the intricacies of national politics, and even her running mate's own policies, Sarah Palin frankly is just plain stupid.
But at least two things that all the "good ole' boys" seemed able to agree on about Sarah Palin were her supposed natural good looks and innate sense of style. She seemed to be quite capable of putting herself together in that "Barbie Girl" way that is so appealing to men.
But as it turns out, sadly that too is another misconception about the "hottest" governor in America, just like her qualifications for higher office were. As unbelievable as it is to us "average" American women, this particular icon of womanhood was purposely ginned up by her handlers to appeal to her adoring public and thus her looks just like the initial reports about her intelligence are a mere façade also.
It turns out that it took a staggering wardrobe make-over of $150,000 from the RNC budget in order to make her look good for the American voters. Classy duds from high-end designers were deemed necessary to make her at least seem more appealing if not more electable than she actually is. How many of those people she has been "designed" to appeal to in the base of her party can afford to shop at Saks Fifth Avenue or Neiman Marcus?
And not only was it imperative to remove the backwoods preference of the "moose motif" from her former style of clothing, but the woman also needed a traveling full-time makeup artist in order for her to be presentable enough to face her public.
This "makeup artist" person was actually paid a whopping $22,800 for two weeks of work in October alone. How much "war paint" does it take to cover up all the obvious Palin flaws? I guess it takes a whole lot, but even then her true colors have been seeping through the camouflage of heavy-duty concealer.
And then there is the pathetic story of a hair-stylist being paid $10,000 for those first two weeks in October as well. I must say, those Palin hairstyles have got to be some of the most out-dated "doos" that have been seen on the public stage in at least 50 years. I always thought that the whacky-look hairdo was just the way "ladies" must wear it up there in Alaska, so far away from the mainstream of current fashion.
But it turns out that it takes at least $5,000 a week in order to make Sarah Palin's hair look that 1950's creepy way that it does. Amazing-can you imagine paying anyone anything at all to make you look like that on purpose? I suppose that the hairstyle does at least fit the mind-set, both being at least 50 years out of date.
John McCain must have been pretty angry at the GOP when they wouldn't let him pick his BFF Joe Lieberman to run as his VP. So in retribution McCain, instead of choosing with his brain, chose with that other "male organ" and decided to add a little eye-candy to the ticket. Unfortunately, putting "Country First" wasn't what he was thinking about when he chose Sarah Palin. And now the Republican Party is stuck with its own "Barbie Girl" who is turning out to be much more of a liability than anyone could have ever imagined.
