Sarah Palin Boosts Wig Sales

   Wow. And I used to believe women were just as smart as men.. This just makes me sad.

   This is outrageous! Why are women flocking to mimick her fashion style? I was disheartened to find the blatant pandering of the McCain camp in an effort to appeal to disgruntled Hillary supporters, thinking, "naw, it'll never work", and here it is, working on the most superficial and meaningless levels ever?

   More to the point, why aren't more people mimicking her polar-bear hunting? That's one endangered species that's been getting a free ride too long!

   Sarah Palin has a higher public approval rating than either John McCain or that other guy.

   First woman president?

   Best line: "And it's not even close to Halloween," Mr. Aronesty says.

   While the mass sheep-like behavior here is really sad, remember that just because women like her style doesn't mean they're planning on voting for her or even voting based on the sole reason of fashion. Similarly, there are many men out there who would love to see her topless/hit it but wouldn't vote for her regardless.

9. Evil Pundit
   September 13th, 2008 at 12:13 pm

   They'll vote for her because she's a reformer with a track record who will bring positive change, not just empty slogans. The fashion thing is just a bonus.

10. Geekazoid
    September 13th, 2008 at 12:18 pm

    Agree with Tempscire, wig sales and whatnot are irrelevant to her political viewpoints or her track record which is hardly impressive. Talking about empty slogans, she can't even get straight what she says from one day to next (alaska earmark funds anyone).

    I loved it when she was asked if she had ever been out of the country. She replied, "Mexico and Canada: ONCE. Hey, Sarah, we've all been to Mexico and Canada: ONCE Give us a little more than that hon.

    I do have to say, Sarah Palin has inspired me. If it only takes a few years experience plus good fashion sense, I can become a VP myself just in time for the next election! Thanks, Sarah Palin.

    What's bad is that I *do* have family in politics. I'm related to both Victor Paz and Walter Guevara, two presidents of Bolivia. Hell, I've been to more countries than Palin has.

    Me can has presidency?

    She makes George Bush look liberal. But stick a pair of "trendy" glasses and what-not on the woman, and people suddenly are blinded to it. I hope McCain get in, pops his clogs then she taken over. You wont think she's "sassy" then. You'll quickly be living the dark ages and engaged in WW3.

18. Dave
    September 13th, 2008 at 4:05 pm

    Hey, Big Dave; So do you consider Barack Obama qualified for the job? I don't.

    I guess I can understand that women are wanting to mimmic what she wears, but the wig part has me flummoxed. I didn't realize that wig wearing was such a big thing.

    Oh, and Absent(minded); if being conservative is such a terrible thing, why is it that liberals almost always try to fool voters by moving to the right during campaigns? Even Obama is doing it.

    One thing about wigs and glasses is that they are easy to take off if your candidate loses.

    Tattoos, on the other hand ...

    September 13th, 2008 at 5:59 pm

    I think what she's laying down is the new republican women's helmet. It's about time they get a new fashion but in regard to this hog, her stupidity outweighs any perceived aesthetic she's rumored to have. I don't see the appeal. In this race, she's merely a fashion accessory and not a good one at that. McSame is just using her to make his old dusty ass look more appealing. I think it will work for those interested in barn animals and backwoods inter-family relationships. But there are those of us who know what's going on and won't fall for it.

23. Blue eyes
    September 13th, 2008 at 6:18 pm

    Why would anybody buy something to put on their head to make themselves look like her? Unbelieveable. RE: the glasses, I didn't like that style in the 80's and I don't like them now.

    September 13th, 2008 at 8:01 pm

    I am so happy for Sarah!
    We'll finally get that evolution mess out of schools

    Wasnt sure about MCCain being pro-Christian enough but Sarah gives me comfort. Obama scares me, I can't help but think he identifies with his muslim relatives too much, why doesnt he still go by Barry?

    We didn't come from monkeys! The earth is not billions of years old! Go sarah! McCain/Palin 08!!!

27. violet
    September 13th, 2008 at 9:21 pm

    Frightening and sad. All of it.

    What I don't understand is why conservatives (most conservatives--see Peggy Noonan's off-camera remarks) aren't being honest about how absurd this woman's candidacy is. It's okay to want McCain. It's okay to believe in conservative tenets. But why is it necessary to pretend that this woman is appropriate as a potential president? It boggles the mind.

    It's as if, in the fever to get a Republican elected, they will accept--no, vehemently defend--any crazy-ass shit the GOP pulls. You can walk and chew gum at the same time. You can believe in conservative values and still call a bad, dangerous decision what it is.

    Preemptive retort to the bashers: try, in your response, to make a reasoned argument as to Palin's suitability as the potential leader of the free world instead of seizing on my tone (how condescending!) or ignoring my point and attacking Obama because it's easier than coming up with anything remotely plausible as to why Sarah Palin should be in line for the most powerful position in the world.

    Seriously: all thoughtful, dedicated conservatives: can you actually make the case that this is a wise choice for the country? I would sooo respect a conservative who could just say, "I'm voting McCain, but yeah, this is ridiculous. I ain't gonna lie." I mean come on! We're all people here. Just be straight.

28. Geekazoid
    September 13th, 2008 at 9:31 pm

    Umm, Dave, there's a BIG difference between what liberals (the left to 'you people') post here and what 'the right' here post.

    You see, if you notice, the 'left' here are only ridiculing the policies/viewpoints or the character (or lack thereof) of the POLITICIANS themselves.

    The 'right' here, on the other hand, see fit to insult the POSTER, including the person posting the original topic, and slander those who don't adhere to their viewpoints with condenscending and insulting terms.

31. Dave
    September 13th, 2008 at 11:50 pm

    @Geekazoid: Oh, I get it; all the comments like "SKANKY", "dead eye b1tch", "beehive mess... get a makeover soon", "stupidity outweighs any perceived aesthetic... she’s merely a fashion accessory and not a good one at that... old dusty ass... those interested in barn animals and backwoods inter-family relationships...", "living the dark ages and engaged in WW3", "not even close to Halloween,” "playing the part of First Lady", "blatant pandering of the McCain camp... most superficial and meaningless levels...", and "... if you like that 'drag' look" are what you'd call "enlightened dialog?

    Please note that everything in quotes in the preceding paragraph was copied from the preceding comments. I don't see much discussion of policies or viewpoints here, only shallow attacks on Palin & McCain's character based on looks and age. Typical — and expected — on a forum like Neatorama, but I don't hear much better coming from the left anywhere else either.

    If you'd like to get into a substantive discussion of the proposed policies and viewpoints of the candidates on both sides, I'd be happy to oblige. But I won't hold my breath waiting for it to happen here.

    Dave: she has a laundry list of skeletons in her closet, and you don't have to look far to find them, nor to you have to be snarky and patrionizing about how hypocritical you find the 'left' to be (I would wager that you're not looking very hard to find flaws in her experience, but admitedly, just a guess).

    But bear in mind, this neatorama post was about something superfifical in the first place: looks. Don't be surpised (or fake-offended) when people start responding in kind.

34. Some Canadian Skeptic

    Dave, I forgot to post this, but in response to your, "if being conservative is such a terrible thing, why is it that liberals almost always try to fool voters by moving to the right during campaigns?" comment....

    Is that really your argument defending American conservativism? Everyone else is doing it? Kinda weak. Weak and lame.

    What a bunch of nasty comments. Once again, the Lefties pull out the knives at the mere mention of her name. That's how you know they're scared of her. Of course, if it were the "Hillary do", I suppose the Righties would be almost as bad. But can you imagine a whole nation of women trying to look like Hillary Clinton? Yikes.

    To get back to hair... I remember when the "Lady Di" hairstyle became popular. It's what people do. If you ask me, there's not much really fancy to copy there.

37. CheeseDuck

    Hey! If Hillary was wearing her hair in that spider- living mess I'd say the same thing. I'm a Republican but I know a crappy hair style when I see one. Plus, when she wears it down she looks like she's trying to pass for 18. Ain't gonna happen.

42. Thomas
    September 14th, 2008 at 2:03 pm

    Wow, its just like reading 4chan, but with fewer racial slurs. Seriously -- grow up.

    1: I don't dig the "sexy librarian grandma" look, and anyone who buys things to look like her because its trendy makes me die a little on the inside.

    2: I struggle to say this, but she is _technically_ qualified to be vice president, being that the constitution gives no qualifications other than those to be president - 35 yrs old, natural born citizen, ect. On that note, in terms of experience, I don't think she's ready. Hell, I've read interviews with people she worked with years ago who don't even think she's particularly bright.

    I think we need to look more to her past works than her looks. She was a beauty queen, an intern for a sports caster, mayor of a town that wouldn't fill up a sports arena, and governor of the most ass-backwards, redneck state in the union. She was nearly recalled in her mayoral role. She is still being investigated for firing the husband of her sister (who apparently cheated on him, and asked Palin to have him fired) She was 100% for that "bridge to nowhere" before she was 110% against it. In fact the money stayed in her hands, and they're currently building a road out to where that bridge would have been. She and her husband may even have ties to a secessionist movement in Alaska. She claims to be a "reformer and a maverick" but she got elected to Governor partly on the premise that Alaska deserved a public official who wouldn't bilk the taxpayers by charging per diem for days spent at home. She then charged taxpayers for over 300 days spent at home.

    Seriously people, there are good ways to make a point, and there are terrible ways.

43. nielo
    September 14th, 2008 at 3:31 pm

    Her ex-brother in-law tazered his ten year old son and made death threats against palins father. Heaven forbid she should demand he be dismissed.

    The cost of the bridge was originally around 60 to 80 million. She was for it then. She opposed it when it ballooned to over 300 million. Good for her.

    She has always been a registered Republican. Never a member of the Alaska secessionists.

    She has 12 years in every level of government in Alaska as well as running the Alaska Energy Commission, the most powerful commission in the state. (That's 12 years more executive experience than Obama)
    Any argument that she's not qualified for lack of experience goes triple for Obama.

    Seriously do a search for palin on Snopes or FactCheck before you make your arguments.

    Did you see that picture of her with her little girl and the Caribou she just "bagged?" God, it makes my stomach turn.

46. violet
    September 14th, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    The silence is deafening.

47. Dave
    September 15th, 2008 at 6:35 am

    @vi: That so-called silence you hear is the sound of the silent majority going about life; working, going to church, running the kids here or there, taking care of the house, whatever... We may not have the time to answer every criticism raised on Neatorama, but those are the things that make this country go. And just because you and your buddies on this Internet thing can't hear us over your own din amplified by billions of echo chambers like Neatorama doesn't mean that our voices won't be heard in November.

    As for Sarah Palin, there is nothing wrong with her as a VP candidate; she's got more real life experience than Obama and Obiden put together, and any lack of experience that you might point out is a product of your intellectually dishonest dismissal of what she's done; "mayor of a town that wouldn’t fill up a sports arena, and governor of the most ass-backwards, redneck state in the union," doesn't mean she doesn't have what it takes to run this country in a pinch. Just because you can't bring yourself to admit it doesn't make it any less true.

    And if you want to talk intellectual dishonesty, let's turn the mirror your way; can you actually make the case that Barack Obama is a wise choice for the country? I would sooo respect a liberal who could examine Obama's record honestly and with the same scrutiny that is being used against Palin right now. I'm talking about the guy you all want in the Oval Office, not even a "heartbeat away" from it. Obama's got a resume that is an embarrassment and calls a whirlwind European/Middle East tour in the summer of an election year "foreign policy experience? This guy has more skeletons in his closet than Sweeney Todd. Take away his teleprompter and speechwriter and he stammers worse than Bush. He doesn't have the backbone to tell people what he believes, but complains that he's not paid enough to say when life begins. He blatantly co-opts the religiosity of the right trying to garner some of that vote, and vows to muck up the tax system out of his desire to "care for the least of these", yet the same people who complain bitterly about any expression of religiosity in a forum like this keep their traps shut about Obama's false faith in Jesus or Mohammed or whoever. He runs on a platform of Hope (he doesn't screw things up too badly) and Change, then he picks a running mate who is not only part of the Washington Establishment but can be accurately accused of creating it.

    The left has turned a blind eye to all of it because someone has decided that Obama would make a good puppet in the White House. You may try to dismiss that notion, but how else can you explain the rise of a nobody junior Senator from the Midwest with nothing but two premature memoirs to his credit to the leader of the Democrat Party? It’s as if, in the fever to get a Democrat — any Democrat — elected, you will accept–no, vehemently defend–any crazy-ass shit George Soros and the DNC pulls. You can walk and chew gum at the same time. You can be so ignorant as to believe that socialist policy will work in the US and still call a bad, dangerous decision what it is.

    Yes, I'll bash Obama in spite of what you said, and I'll be honest enough with you to say that a McCain Presidency doesn't thrill me, but the alternative in this election cycle scares me spitless, so it's matter of the lesser of two evils. But for you folks to ignore the blatant warts of your own candidate and instead microscopically examine the blemishes on Sarah Palin is really too much.

    I would love to hear someone, anyone, make a reasoned argument as to Obama's suitability as the potential leader of the free world instead of seizing on my tone (how condescending!) or ignoring my point and attacking Palin or McCain because it’s easier than coming up with anything remotely plausible as to why Barack Hussein Obama should be an election away from the most powerful position in the world.

    Seriously: all thoughtful, dedicated liberals: can you actually make the case that Obama is a wise choice for the country? I would sooo respect a liberal who could just say, “I’m voting Obama, but yeah, the man is an empty suit and nothing more than a puppet. I ain’t gonna lie.” I mean come on! We’re all people here. Just be straight.

    Just because the liberal message sounds so strong here doesn't mean it resonates with the rest of the country. The majority in this country still votes conservative; unfortunately many are uninformed enough to buy into the lie of a guy like Obama when he tries to appear more conservative than he is. I predict that the next couple of months will be marked by McCain (and Palin) taking off the gloves and tenderizing Obama & Obiden a bit, and exposing them for the empty suit he is.

    Sorry Alex. Couldn't help myself.

48. Geekazoid
    September 15th, 2008 at 7:16 am

    One thing is for certain here though about the "right" who come here. Once there's a topic posted which they perceive to be 'biased' against politicians or topics of their political affiliation, out comes the whine fest about neatorama being too political, leave politics out, left tards, etc. etc. etc.

    Yet they have no shame about casting the stone the other way.

    I would be curious to know who each of the posters voted for in the last election. That would give me a better idea of how deluded they might or might not be.

    Sarah Palin's hairstyle doesn't do anything for me, and neither does Hilary Clinton's, John McCain's or Barack Obama's. I'm far more interested in what's going on inside their heads. The question I'm asking myself this election year is, "Who's going to get us out of Iraq the quickest?"

53. Dave

    @von: "The question I’m asking myself this election year is, “Who’s going to get us out of Iraq the quickest?”"

    Funny you should ask that; I heard just today that Obama's new strategery is to set a timeline to have them out by 2012; far enough into his first term to ensure that Bush doesn't get credit for it, but in time to make it possible for him to say that he got them out. How's that gonna sit with the MoveOn set?

    September 16th, 2008 at 2:02 pm

    @ray ray: While I'm not thrilled with McCain, I am most assuredly not on the fence on whether Obama will get my vote; four years of him in the White House would be the Train Wreck to end all train wrecks, and that tax cut is just the tip of the iceberg.

    How can he propose to cut taxes for 95 percent of us when 40 percent don't pay any income taxes? It all goes back to his skewed notion of "fairness" in economics rather than logic or sound economic principals, and ignores the fact that the Bush tax cuts that he wants to phase out actually resulted in increases in treasury receipts. Reagan was right (as always); a rising tide lifts all ships. Put more money into (or rather, take less money out of) the hands of people that make businesses go, and everybody prospers. Obama's so-called tax cut is nothing more than old fashioned Marxist income redistribution; what is fair about that?

    At this point there are a lot more reasons to dislike Obama than there are to dislike McCain: his dishonesty with the tax cut and his ignorance on economic issues is just the start.

    September 17th, 2008 at 2:10 am

    Dave--

    So from the paragraph you devoted to addressing my question, you give me the following profoundly lukewarm defense: "...there is nothing wrong with her as a VP candidate."

    You then assert without support that she has "more real life experience than Obama and Biden put together" (wow, how is this even literally, chronologically, possible...) and go on to claim that any problem I might have with her is a product of my own ignorance. Hm. How...creepily illogical. I simply wanted solid reasons.

    Finally, you assure me that her small town accomplishments DON'T mean that she's NOT qualified to run this country "in a pinch" (ouch). I...don't even know how to respond to that. For a person who obviously has a critical mind, you have got to recognize that statement as fantastically lame in the context of the importance of that prospect.

    I consider my question unanswered and my challenge unmet. And I think that your helplessness in resorting to exactly the kind of rhetoric and attack I predicted would be the only rebuttal to an eminently legitimate inquiry is quite telling. You accuse others of dishonesty. You want me to think critically about the problems with my candidate. Your record of doing same in the context of the issue I brought up is nonexistent.

    Look, I know I'm not going to change your mind. I respect that you believe things that I don't understand. My post was and continues to be about Sarah Palin. If you think she's appropriate as our President, I'm extremely surprised. The thought is very, very frightening to me. I believe she was a reckless, dangerous choice, and I just had thought that anyone who had truly, vividly visualized her in the Oval Office would at least admit it's not a comforting image of the future of our country. If that same image fills you with confidence and peace, then this conversation necessarily has nowhere left to go.

60. Dave
    September 17th, 2008 at 8:58 am

    I know I won't be satisfying you any time soon, Vi, which is why I didn't try very hard. I think it's pretty obvious that the McCain ticket doesn't excite me greatly, but I don't see the degree of issues with the pair that you do. I won't be voting for them in November, I'll be voting against Obama/Obiden.

    The thought of either Obama or Biden in the Oval Office is very, very frightening to me. I believe they are a reckless, dangerous pair, and anyone who had truly, vividly visualized either of them in the Oval Office would at least admit it’s a downright scary image of the future of our country.

    You're right; this "conversation" (and I use that term very loosely) is pretty much over. I feel like I'm talking to a wall. I am thankful though that people who share your opinion are in the minority, and I'm fully confident that by November the majority of voters will see Obama as the empty suit he is.

    Well, thanks for at least being respectful. I still wish I could get an honest "wtf" about SP, but that's minor in the grand scheme. It's truly weird to me how we, and by we I mean all those who represent the two of us in this context, are so diametrically opposed in our conceptions of what's going on. But hey, nobody said life made sense. Or if they did, they were lying.

    Personal best wishes to you; may your party go up in flames. (Friendly joke attempt, damn it. Honestly, I'm tired of the vitriol. Perhaps you will accept the fact that my convictions come from a place as legitimate as yours and we can agree to throw up our hands and have a rueful laugh. Enough said.)

    Addendum: I'm becoming fond of you, but if we spar in future, could you ease up on the parodying of my language and points? They deserve to be considered on their own merits and not recycled as a convenient retort. I appreciate it. (I'm not being snide; this a real request. Thanks.)

    I'm with you, Vi; the vitriol gets really, really tiring after a while. And it's way too easy to be unfriendly on this internet thing. Some of my best friends are way left of center, but we just agree to disagree. It's difficult sometimes with some issues, but I realize they, like you, have their own stories, and those stories, like my own, are far from complete. We all have a lot to learn.

    And apologies for the comment recycling thing; the copy/paste/change names method of turning an argument around can be fun, but it's not always effective and only sometimes funny.

    Oh, and I'm still waiting for an honest "wtf" about Obama, but won't hold my breath. Cheers!

    Now now,
    The post did request that we not get into the "mess"

    I am surprised that a lot women are wearing wigs. I know about smaller hairpieces can mimic Palin's updos....well I learned something new.
