Sarah Palin says, “I can’t believe we’re talking about this,” but let’s put this in perspective. With bloggers climbing into her uterus for almost two years, having the media and bloggers latching onto a couple of breasts seems almost tame by comparison. The Right Scoop has the video of Greta Van Susteren going there with Governor Palin, who displays equal parts amusement and disgust with the meme du semaine. Once again, the national media reduces a strong woman in politics to her bust size:
People Magazine picks this up, naturally, and notes that the scrutiny of her chest makes Palin understandably uncomfortable:
She also offered some advice to anyone wondering whether she’s enhanced her bust: “I think some of those folks, too, they need to perhaps grab a shovel, go down to the Gulf, volunteer to help, clean up and save a whale or something.”
Apart from having to answer the embarrassing question, Palin said the speculation about her chest will also have her second guessing her wardrobe choices from now on.
“To be judged on or to be talked about on appearance – say chest size – it makes me wear layers, it makes me have to waste time figuring out what am I going to wear so that nobody will look at an area that I don’t need them to look at,” she said. “I want them to hear what it is that I’m saying. It just ends up wasting time and that’s very, very unfortunate.”
Fox News, meanwhile, engages Palin on substance regarding the oil spill in the Gulf. She talks about her challenge to Barack Obama, and criticizes the blanket drilling moratorium on deep-sea drilling Obama imposed in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon blowout. She demonstrates her first-class grasp of the drilling issue and rips the MMS for not catching the fact that BP’s disaster plan for Gulf drilling got obviously lifted from other regional work as boilerplate.
Remember “Boxers or briefs?”
Here we go!
I saw that on FNC Greta who asked her. Oh brother!
If this is all the anti-conservative MSM can come up with, we have a real winner and they are scared to death of her!!!
These are the self-styled champions of the women’s movement.
True a tit lift is not implants.
This story is a bust.
(been overly posted here at FR)
that’s real classy, thanks.
Okay, we’re supposed to believe that a woman who has writers moving up to Alaska from down here and deliberately renting the place next door to hers in order to trawl for dirt, that somehow this woman managed to spirit herself off for a boob job and nobody noticed anything until she showed up at Belmont Park. Bulls**t.

BREAKING NEWS: Hussein has had his ears reduced!
Thank you I try hard!!!!
I’ve lived through a lot of “gates” ... but “Boob-gate” is one of the weirdest ones .... LOL ...
Gotta love that mainstream media - way to go and piss off half the country! Thanks!
Its a question she should not have answered. Nothing wrong if she had, and no one’s business either way.
In the war of ideas, its ideas that matter. People who can’t win there start throwing their food. Its all they’ve got. No reason to reply in kind.
When you enemy is making a fool of himself, its best to let him.
Where is NOW? Why aren’t they outraged?
But of course. They’re busy with bigger things, like trying to rescue 700 million Muslim women from the grip of abject slavery.
(NOT!)
Sarah must stop feeling compelled to respond to this tripe.
I agree. She shouldn’t have dignified any of this “speculation” with an answer. By even bringing up the subject, it shows how totally screwed up her critics are. By responding, she stooped to their level, and she didn’t need to.
The socialists are making a tactical mistake. They’ll run out of body parts to discuss by late next year should she decide to run for President.
