While I would suspect that still doesn't get her into triple digits, I have to wonder what Palin has to do with it? Seriously I'm starting to think everyone on the left has the hots for Palin and must lash out with irrational comments like a rejected adolescent.

Well, after all many of those conservatives complaining here about Shakira's little adviser's job now would have liked to see Palin as their next president
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, record producer, and dancer.
In addition to her career in music, Ms. Mebarak Ripoll has been involved in a number of global educational efforts. She founded the Barefoot Foundation in 1995, which operates schools and educational projects in Colombia, South Africa, and Haiti, feeding and educating approximately 6,000 children.
In 2010, she collaborated with the World Bank and the Barefoot Foundation to establish an initiative that distributes educational and developmental programs for children across Latin America.
In 2008, Ms. Mebarak Ripoll served as the Honorary Chair of the Global Campaign for Education's Global Action Week.
In 2005, she became a founding member of Latin America in Solidarity Action, a coalition of artists and business leaders seeking to promote integrated early childhood public policies.
Ms. Mebarak Ripoll became a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund in 2003, where she promotes the expansion and improvement of comprehensive early childhood care and education across the world.
Not once is it said that she was the "brains" behind any of this!!
She's got cash and fame!
A lot of dumb athletes and celebs "found" charities! But they hired people to to do the speaking and organizing.
What's a founding memebr except someone who was there at the beginning. Again.....did she do the "organizing"??
Goodwill Ambassador??? What do you need for that except good looks and a hit movie or record???
What are her qualifications.....the one's that count!!??
This is why Obama wants her next to him....he aint slick! LOL
Shakira is INCREDIBLY sexy... but is TOTALLY inappropriate for that position... Sometimes I wonder how more stupid Obama can get... Is he serious about anything other than infatuation with fame?
There are a number of "artists" going around the world and getting engaged in things they are no experts on.
Jolie for instance is also very active in humanitarian affairs and has several functions with various organizations.
By the way, will Shakira get paid for her little side job? I assume not...
A thinking Hispanic will be highly insulted. I don't believe the thinking man or woman is Obama's aim, though. There is too much danger in that.
