Are vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's rimless eyeglasses the new Hillary Clinton pantsuit?
Veep candidate's rimless glasses are suddenly in high demand.

Imagine the conflicted feelings in the other camp of those that worship at the shrine of celebrity. It would make a great SNL skit.
People want to buy Palin’s glasses but who the Hell ever wanted to buy Hillary’s pantsuits, except someone from 1968?
If ole Hil wants any traction in 012, she’s gonna need to hit the gym bigtime.
Pantsuits are history.
Hillary is a dog but even Scooby is cuter!
Oh I’m counting on Tina Fey to do an SNL skit as Sarahcuda.
Not to be outdone, Obama tried out some new eyewear,
but only ended up looking like Steve Urkel...
LOL. Glad I didn't have liquid in my mouth....
NOT guilty!!!
