"First, her shoes."

 

The Washington Post has published this {Pulitzer or pulp?} from a Kansas City "freelance journalist" called Diana Reese:

.... When Palin took to the makeshift stage in the middle of a Missouri farm field, she was dressed more for the part of Hollywood celebrity than serious politician. I know someone’s going to remind me that just last week, I said it was sexist to focus on the wardrobes of women in politics.

But it was hard for me to take Palin seriously dressed as she was.

 

 

First, her shoes: Five-inch wedges. Her black capris weren’t quite skin-tight but tight enough, and her t-shirt with its Superman logo (a Steelman campaign shirt emblazoned with “Our freedom. Our fight.”) emphasized her figure. She never once removed her oversized sunglasses.

I’m sorry, but I’d like my minister, my doctor and yes, my politicians, to look and dress for their parts....

 

 

 

Guess Who?

Perhaps Diana should have focused on what Palin was saying, and the bedrock on which she was standing: http://tinyurl.com/8l87k3e

I guess we should have expected this. Years ago, the Left gave us the Thought Police -- and now they're giving us the Attire Police. What strikes me about the American Left these days is that it's starting to sound more and more like the Taliban. Except for the fact that the Taliban speak Pashtun and fret over women who aren't wearing burkas and all that jazz and Diana speaks English and frets over women (or at least certain women) who wear tight capris and Superman t-shirts, the two are indistinguishable: humorless, censorious, and nauseatingly self-righteous. Speaking for myself, I think Governor Palin is a knockout -- whatever she's wearing.
