HuffPo's Sarah Palin Foot Fetish

Conservatives 4 Palin ^ | 6/8/09 | Videmus Omnia

The Huffington Post actually has a poll and a slideshow up about Governor Palin's toenails. No, I'm not kidding, and it's already got hundreds of poisonous comments.

This reminds me of the numerous wire photos of the Governor's feet and lower legs during the 2008 campaign, and the interest seems to be continuing. For instance, Ben Smith's Politico piece from last Saturday's Auburn visit included this quote:

Her four-car motorcade, including two black SUVs provided by the New York State Police, then headed to Seneca Falls, where Palin, bright red toenails visible in open shoes, trooped through a museum that focuses on the 19th-century origins of the American women’s movement in Upstate New York.

Why is the liberal media so interested in the Governor's feet? Are they podophiles?

By the way, the author at the HuffPo, Senior Style Editor Anya Strzemien, is the same person who also posited that the Governor's lipliner is tattooed on -- another HuffPo piece that generated hundreds of comments.

But remember that conservatives are the sexist ones!

I love the Politico quote, commenting on a woman's tonail polish as she goes to visit a museum focusing on the struggles of women in the political arena. You can't make this stuff up.

[gridlock]

I saw this one and thought of you...

Why is the liberal media so interested in the Governor's feet? Are they podophiles?

No, they are merely reviving and continuing the memetic analogy the Associated Press dreamed up during the campaign, where Palin is portrayed as a sort of stripper who goes on stage to bare her "radical" beliefs to the crowd. The AP even managed to get a photo of Palin on a stage, her ankles in the foreground and some guy's head in the background looking up at her. You know, like how guys look at strippers on stage.

The depth and breadth of this analogy is pretty disturbing, but then again, what about the drive-by media isn't disturbing?

WHERE IS “N.O.W.”????

[paulycy]

The attempted assassination of Sarah Palin continues.

Maybe this is a leap of faith but I think that Sarah will survive this and all the hyperbolic lies will slap her foes in the face. Not that they will acknowledge it, but a majority of regular people will easily see through it and support her with voices and votes.

[NMEwithin]

when you can’t fight in the arena of ideas...go for the personal attacks, it’s the Liberal way.

[Ditter]

If Sarah had NOT been sporting red polish on her toenails would the reporter have noted that Gov Palin didn't know the meaning of the word pedicure?

[PGR88]

I am convinced the hirsute troglodytes that pass for females on the left are at the same time stunned, confused, impressed and repulsed by Palin.

[pnh102]

If the left wants to keep Gov. Palin out of the White House in 2013 then it should stop reporting on her. All they are doing is giving her a free vetting.

[FourPeas]

Whereas I agree regarding the media's silly focus on Gov. Palin’s toenails or lip liner, I don't see them as any different than our threads trashing Mrs. Obama’s choice in clothes. They're both tacky.

[Zakeet]

Maybe the governor should don a pair of these $500 designer
stompers instead of dress shoes. That would silence her critics.
Right?

[Always Right]

What is wrong with a women who wants too look attractive. If Michelle Obama did this, all the people criticizing Sarah would run out and get their toes done and they would be drooling over how sophisticated it is.

[DieHard the Hunter]

There was something decidedly creepy about this article. But then, you have to consider the source: they’re Liberals, and Democrats. They probably haven’t seen women with “feet” before. All of their women have cloven hoofs or, in Michelle Obama’s case, trotters.

Why is the liberal media so interested in the Governor's feet?

The liberal press, bereft of any semblance of journalism, dominated by disordered minds, have nothing else to do except resort to the prurient interests of fellow asylum members of the Democratic Socialist Party.

I cannot remember the last time a MSM paper actually published a meaningful discourse; they do get the sports scores correct, though.

You can still find even handed journalism in the still profitable conservative newspapers like the Washington Times.

[The Flying Dutchman]

The AP even managed to get a photo of Palin on a stage, her ankles in the foreground and some guy's head in the background looking up at her. You know, like how guys look at strippers on stage.

THAT is probably the best observation possible.

It also goes along with the Tina Fey portrayal, the "Bristol Stomp", and the porn flicks that came out at the same time. All crafted to transform her image into a hypocrite and harlot.

[alicewonders]

Funny, I don't remember any of them gushing about Sotomayor's bright red toenails, as seen here:

[McGruff]

[gridlock]

They were up to 700 posts on HuffPo before somebody figured out that the pattern on her toes was from the Alaska Flag.

[angcat]

UGLY! CLASSLESS! FRUMPY! TEENY BOPPER SNEAKERS!

[Scythian]

Suddenly, I too have a foot fetish ...






Oh wait, that's not her, oh well ..
