Besides, the lips are sensitive. That'd be pretty painful... :>(; 9/30/08, 5:21 PM

LOL!; 9/30/08, 5:21 PM

Synova said...: Lipstick and liner is easy and Palin is young.

I've seen older ladies get tatoos for eyebrows and stuff... probably lips too, but yeah, Ow! It can look pretty good compared to trying to draw stuff on with shaky hands and weak eyes.; 9/30/08, 5:24 PM

Does Biden have fake teeth and fake hair?

Has McCain been circumcised?

Is any law professor a natural blond?; 9/30/08, 5:38 PM

For why would the Amazon Wonderbra Alaskan killer of moose woman want to kiss the карлик midget man from the Island of Fantasy?; 9/30/08, 5:50 PM

Oh I do! I've been hearing all about cankles, cackles, botox, pantsuits, hairdos, haircuts, and hemlines for years. I'm just starting to get why Ann alerted us all to this. True, only Democrats. But still. Fun! Did you hear Palin only wears cosmetic eyeglasses? I was considering her before but this made think. Hmmmmm.; 9/30/08, 6:00 PM
Anonymous said...: You know full well, garage mahal, that all that against Hillary started within The One's (PBUH) campaign. The videos are there, and the internet cache still has it all. So drop the stupid excuse.; 9/30/08, 6:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Besides, aren't you a pure 100% Obamabot? What's your b!tchin'?; 9/30/08, 6:04 PM
David53 said...: Great quote from huffpo.

She's the Tanya Harding of politics. Lucky us!

Tanya will kick your ass and have your leg broken. Hopefully Palin will be at least half as tough as Harding. We need that kind of toughness in the White House.; 9/30/08, 6:12 PM
garage mahal said...: ernie
That started 15 years ago. Me an Obamabot? Ha! And I'm not bitchin, I'm having a ball.; 9/30/08, 6:14 PM
Unknown said...: Yeah Ernie, I think your troll detectors have been blown out of calibration by a couple of outliers. I thought GM's post was pretty funny.; 9/30/08, 6:32 PM
Unknown said...: I mean Ernie, we have to concede the Hillary attacks predated her presidential campaign. Certainly the ones I like have. :) "Testicle lockbox" anyone?; 9/30/08, 6:33 PM
Trooper York said...: I wrote a long series of posts about Hillary as a waton sex kitten that got Simon all excited.
You never get any credit when you make them look good.; 9/30/08, 6:37 PM
Lorelei Leigh said...: Did you hear Palin only wears cosmetic eyeglasses?

That really is the final straw. What a deceptive, lying liar she is! I'm voting for Obama.; 9/30/08, 6:40 PM
Tari said...: Who cares? If I worked at a job like hers and had 5 kids I'd probably have ALL my makeup tatooed on my face, just to save time. I have 2 kids and a half-a** job and I barely have time to get ready in the AM as it is.; 9/30/08, 6:44 PM
Lisa said...: If I had had any respect left for the Huffington Post, it would be gone with this filth.

As it stands, I'm not surprised at all... disguested but not surprised.; 9/30/08, 6:58 PM

Mmmmmm. I dunno. If Hillary has taught us anything it's there is always something sinister behind everything. Republicans taught me this. What can tattoed lips and fake eyeglasses really tell us about a person? What does it say? We must speculate?; 9/30/08, 7:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Imagine if she had a tramp stamp.; 9/30/08, 7:06 PM
Joseph said...: What's with all the indignation? I think the style/fashion of a politician is perfectly reasonable thing to talk about. And if in fact Palin has tattooed makeup, who cares? It doesn't say anything bad about someone. And its kind of a funny and semi-relevant story given Palin's repeated use of the lipstick joke and the subsequent lipstick controversy.; 9/30/08, 7:41 PM
blake said...: Actually, I understand Trig is a tattoo. That's why they never show him from the side.; 9/30/08, 7:47 PM

veni vidi vici said...: "What can tattoed lips and fake eyeglasses really tell us about a person? What does it say? We must speculate?"

I believe that at the HuffPo, the last question is read as "We must speculum." Particularly with regard to Palin.; 9/30/08, 8:33 PM

I'll give you that one. I actually always thought of those as compliments, however. I am my mother's son, and in my family, tough women talk freely about their...well, figurative balls.

Like I have said in the past, I was a Clintonista in my youth.; 9/30/08, 8:50 PM
Unknown said...: Actually, I understand Trig is a tattoo.

I thought he looked familiar.; 9/30/08, 9:09 PM
Simon said...: These are the sort of hard-hitting questions that Palin must sit down before the MSM to answer. We demand answers!

Still, I propose to study the photographic evidence most closely. for, ahem, king and country, you know. Duty demands. Dulce et decorum est pro patria laboro and so forth.

"I wrote a long series of posts about Hillary as a waton sex kitten that got Simon all excited."

I don't recall that, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm sure I got most hot under the collar.; 9/30/08, 9:27 PM
j said...: One, she doesn't have tattooed lip liner. It is so obviously drawn because it differs in different photos.

Two, why would you rely on the HuffPo denizens who are too slovenly to shave their own hairy pitts to evaluate anyone's makeup?

Three, if you want to see weird lip color, look no further than Obama with his Grape Lipstick.

Four, Althouse, you are in no position to criticize anyone's looks, makeup, or hair. I would call this a new low for you, but I'm sure you will be going much lower as the election nears.; 9/30/08, 9:43 PM
j said...: I'll tell you what: Why don't you obtain the videos of Couric getting her ass rotor rootered and we can critique it in detail. And Ann, if you have a colonoscopy video, you're more than welcome to show it, too.; 9/30/08, 9:46 PM

WTF??!?!

The sum total of Althouse's post:

"Lipstick..." (the title)
... tattoo. (the text)

Oh, well, OK, OK, there were two tags attached as well, of course: lipstick, tattoos.

That must explain j's reaction. Somehow, anyway.; 10/1/08, 12:21 AM

HuffPo?

If you want a super-sized photograph of Palin's purported lip-tat, go below:

goesh said...: how about a poll to see how many think this demonstrates the critical thinking ability of say 70% of America; 10/1/08, 6:44 AM
Clyde said...: Gov. Palin reportedly DOES have a tattoo of the Big Dipper (which appears on Alaska's flag) on one ankle, the result of losing a bet to her husband.

Much better than a tramp stamp!; 10/1/08, 7:30 AM
Henry said...: That's one of the most sensuous slide shows you'll ever see about a politician.

Right. The HuffPo's been had by Karl Rove again.; 10/1/08, 8:27 AM
BJK said...: I have to wonder what % of the male audience clicking on that site is thinking about something other than tatoos when viewing a continual stream of images of Gov. Palin's lips.

Is this meant to cause derision by the fashion-obsessive crowd (and their hangers on), continue the sexualization of Miss Wasilla, or explain why Bill Clinton "gets" the Governor's appeal?; 10/1/08, 9:26 AM
