Nice.
It's a ok cover I've seen nicer pictures of her though; people can say what they want but she is quite photogenic...although I've never been fond of that "stare into space" look.

Probably taken during the campaign, where thousands would turn out to see her. She's likely looking up at the crowd.

No, Palin is not merely stupid because liberals so say so; the evidence is indeed conclusive. For God's sake; here is a woman who touted her foreign diplomacy skills by saying she could see Russia from her house! She runs out of breath in the middle of sentences like a ditzy cheerleader who talks too much. She can't even run her own family, as evidenced by an out-of-control impregnated, unmarried teen daughter. She bailed on her FIRST term as governor. She wrecked the career of a former son-in-law with the malice of someone from the cast of "Mean Girls." The thought of this woman as a president is to me as absurd as Al Franken being Secretary of Defense.
BTW--I'm a moderate Independant, not a whiny liberal. Though I'll whine all day long when it comes to Ms. Palin.

That was Tina Fey.

Although I agree that Palin should never run for political office again, let's not exaggerate or use attacks on her personal life or her family. Just the fact that she was elected by the good people of Alaska and betrayed them to promote her book and make big bucks at speaking engagements should be enough proof to anyone, even a loyal Republican, that she cannot be trusted to hold a position of power or responsibility.

I honestly don't think Palin could handle the scrutiny of a presidential campaign. She had trouble getting through 3 months. Most of that time she was hidden from the press. She could never get away with that again and would be forced to appear on programs like Meet The Press and Face The Nation to debate/discuss issues and defend her policies. Winking can only take you so far (and she's getting a lot older too!)

An excuse for what? She's looking up - is that crime?

Always a reason for those afflicted with PDS.

Wow, this is incredible even coming from the Post which is a Murdock Rag...
I don't know where you're getting this info, Dukieboy, but she has more requests for speaking than she can handle. She has to turn some down, because she cannot do them all.
