I had observed, more than 2 years ago, that there are a large number of folks who are seriously jealous of the appearance of Sarah Palin, and she is attacked by them for OTHER reasons (real, or imagined), while the REAL reason is her looks.
This is one of the difficulties she has with Leftist females (and males), who are totally deranged and in attack mode.
Liberal women (especially the extreme women's Lib types) are usually not beauty pageant winners.
Sarah's looks are part of what the left hates, but not all. The deeper reason is her wholesomeness, as Robin of Berkeley points out. Read her thoughtful remarks
here.
