Sarah Palin, all-American cheerleader (yes, a barf alert)
SF Chronicle ^ | 10/6/2008 | Tim Kingston, Lisa Moore

Posted on 10/06/2008 5:58:05 AM PDT by markomalley

There was something jarring about GOP candidate Sarah Palin's appearance at the vice presidential debate, and it was not just her refusal to answer questions, or the mock Reagan-esque mannerisms of the "there you go again" kind. Nor was it the misrepresentations, like her campaign's mendacious insistence that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would raise taxes on those earning $42,000 a year.

It was that come hither wink. Twice. It was the lowered voice.

It was the seduction of speaking directly to the camera audience, as if there was no one else in each living room of America, as if it were just her and the - presumably male or complicit female- viewer, while ignoring the debate questions, Joe Biden, Gwen Ifill, and everything else. Her less than subtle message was "you want me," and not in a charismatic political leader, vote-for-me sort of way. She was delivering a direct come-on to the audience.

(snip)

With Palin, the wink had quite a different connotation.

That wink is at the heart of her campaign. The wink is all about sex, which is what made it all the more jarring in the context of the national debate. It was the wink of a bikini-clad model selling a car and a dodgy bill of goods. It was the wink of a temptress offering a promise that will never be kept. It was the wink of the all-American cheerleader knowing why every male, and not a few females, are interested in her short skirt, and determined to milk it for all it's worth.

As for me, I like the below-the-belt attacks.

Shows that the MSM knows that this alleged lead by Hussein is all vapor (and voter fraud). Otherwise, they'd not bother.

She scares the sh&t out of them. Good.

Barney Frank has been winking at this constituency for several decades- they haven’t seemed to mind

They obviously prefer the gravitas of female leaders like Nan Pelosi (wink wink)

If that is the best the Left can do, I’m calling for a LANDSLIDE for the Good Guys this November.

They are clearly desperate.

I have to agree that the wink and the eye rolls/flutters were completely out of place. In that respect, Fey nailed the SNL sketch.

Leftists need a good kick in the nuts. It’s about time we stopped turning the other cheek while they destroy our country with our tacit permission.

When you define your entire life around where you prefer to “rub your jubblies”, it’s difficult to see anything outside of that prism.

Kinda like the “perpetually offended” folks that see everything through the lens of race.

More vicious attacks on governor Palin. The MSM is pushing Obama's disinformation and propaganda. Lies about Obama’s relationships with Ayers, Rezco and all the others. Lies about Obama’s real role as a community agitator. Sean Hannity did a good show about Obama that provided some information about Obama’s real record and real views. Unfortunately the MSM continues to lie about Obama and Palin and everything else. People don't understand what is really going on.

Too much. You think they're jealous?

It's time to update the Paris Hilton celebrity ad again. They're going over the edge
with this liberal Da Vinci Code of conservative Freudian symbols. PC gone wild.

Palin is a Rorschach test of liberal neurosis. They see what they want to see. They
used to argue that conservatives were too prudish and puritanical. Now they're
claiming it's too sexy.

They may be more reading Tina Fey into this than Sarah Palin.
Too many bong hits and Jägermeisters Saturday night?

The boys in San Fran think "breeders" must be lusting for Gov. Palin?

Here is a clue boys, we are not misogynistic like you and Barack Obama. Sometimes a wink is just a wink.

Sarah Palin, all-American cheerleader (yes, a barf alert)

Have they just insulted every cheerleader, former cheerleader and moms of cheerleaders in America with this smear? Way to go, libs!

Let them offend, insult us and push our buttons...we'll push ours for McCain/Cheerleader on Election Day.

It's gone from beyond jealousy right into a raging insanity. They are frothing at the mouth. The Devil, who possesses all of them, is pissed.

Yeah. But even if you accepted their argument, why would winning by sex appeal be less worthy than winning by race appeal???

Initially, it was Obama who had the "Obama girls" swooning in hysteria. Maybe the writers could give us an update on that?

"It was that come hither wink."

The "come hither" line is Bill Clinton's, his description of Paula Jones, who he said "had that come hither look." I don't recall any articles about Clinton's lewd winks in MSM newspapers. Maybe they just missed them, huh?

Question: How many SF Chronicle libs does it take to write a hit piece on Sarah Palin?

Answer: Two.....because each have only half-a-brain.
