The Five unSexiest Thing About Sarah Palin.

So there's this woman who's running for Vice-President, maybe you've heard about it. She's the super-conservative governor of Alaska, and my brother, a former SPotW thinks she's hot. Now I'm not super excited to think that my brother is into Cougars, but I'm even less excited when that cougar is the standard-bearing right-wing freak show Sarah Palin. My brother is not alone. Many men have found themselves "attracted" to Sarah Palin, so I feel that I need to offer this blog as a warning to those who think she Mrs. Alaska is hot, but who are not exactly familiar with what comes out of her mouth.

The Vice-President Becomes the President if the President Dies.
Or...if you're Sarah Palin it could be explained like this. "If for any reason, Miss America is not able to fulfill her duties for any reason, the first runner up will assume both the title and the duties." Only this time, it's a bit more involved than putting on a crown and attending state fairs. This woman could be one misshapen mole away from the top spot, and my Sexy thinks that's scary. Hillary Clinton...now that was a woman who could run a show like this country. I'm not sure Sarah Palin could run a talent show at a high school...at least not without making some gay teens cry.

She Thinks We Are Dumber Than She Is.
Mrs. Alaska, what is your reaction to the Troopergate investigation that found you to be in violation of a state ethics law?
Oh heck, I am so happy that they decided that I had done nothing wrong and did not violate any laws.
Oh you must not have understood my question. They did find that you violated the law. Any reaction?
I am just so pleased that I was proven to not be a law violator.
You're joking, right?
No siree, Bob, I am so happy to be 100% innocent.
She is a Republican.
Nicolle and I have been pretty upfront about the fact that there is not much about the Republican party is Sexy. I respect that some people are fiscally conservative or that they are into small government or even that they want America to be the world's only super-power. What I do not respect is the social conservatism that has plagued the GOP for a long time, but especially since the rise (?) to power of our current "leader." Mrs. Alaska is just too conservative to be Sexy, and she reminds me (and many others) of the blanket social conservatism, often borne out of a blind devotion to religious "teachings." And that behavior encourages the denial of rights to people who want, need, and deserve them.

Speaking of those Rights: Abortion.
So I'm going to tread lightly here. I am pro-choice, and I understand and respect that people are pro-life (or perhaps anti-choice). What I cannot respect is people wanting to outlaw abortion. This is a public health issue...one that directly affects young women. It is misogynistic to try to remove a 35-year-old right, a right that women have fought and died for. The right to choose does not require or insist that anyone get an abortion; it provides the right to make a private, individual choice. This just stinks of girl-on-girl hate; and it's unSexy.

She is Completely Confident Despite her Dearth of Knowledge.
The Charles Gibson interview. The Katie Couric interview. The obnoxious behavior at the VP debate. But she is delighted with herself. She walks up to a podium with a swagger that says I can read from a teleprompter so I have nothing to worry about. She doesn't worry about not knowing or understanding anything that is really important in this election because all she has to do is scare the mob about Obama. What is perhaps the unSexiest thing about her is that since she clearly doesn't know anything pertinent, she is actively appealing to people who don't know any better...and appealing to the worst parts of those people. Oh dear.

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Well, to make sure that my Sexy and I are there in your heart, you can wear a top tier outfit, you can dance like it's your job, and you can be confident that you are queen for the night. I wish I could be there Nikki!!!

Question for Nicolle:
What do you think is the Sexiest thing about election season?
