Okay, now I'd like to see a set of pictures of the little dweeb leaning over a computer screen, working on photographs of Sarah Palin, cropping her long hair and neutralizing the makeup colors. Because I bet he/she is not sexy at all.
I'd like to see the smirk on the photoshopper's face as he/she decides to make the supposedly natural lips a ghoulish purple and the short hair completely clunky. (It reminds me of this.)
By the way, to be realistic, if you take off the glasses, you need to enlarge the eyes to undo the distorting effect of prescription lenses. But what the hell? Smaller eyes are less pretty, and this exercise is all about stripping away Sarah's prettiness. Honesty is not the point. It has very little to do with what Sarah Palin would look like if she chose a less glamorous look.
This is an effort at defeminizing Sarah — like drawing a mustache on her. In fact, there's a good chance that Sarah Palin would look more beautiful with subtler makeup, no glasses, and a well-designed, more professional hairstyle.
Having said all that, let me add that Sarah Palin's looks obviously are part of her popularity. And I can list many other politicians — female and male, Republican and Democrat — who have won favor in the hearts of the people through their looks. One of them is sitting in the White House.
IN THE COMMENTS: Akiva said:
Actually, her degamorized look distinctly reminded me of former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro.
That was when women were trying to look serious and slightly manly to be considered a valid politician.
I thought it was ok for a woman to look like a woman and still be taken seriously nowadays. Sorry, my bad.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 237 of 237What AL just does not seem to understand is that Sarah did not hire the beauty consultant when she became a candidate. The campaign did and the campaign paid for it. It was not her doing. But of course AL would never admit something like that. It would spoil his latest shtick.
Wow, how sad. Go to all that effort to make Palin look bad. And she still looks pretty good.
Well, this Kellyanne Hanrahan cat certainly doesn't like Sarah Palin.

Ha ha!
The descriptors fit POTUS pretty much perfectly.
I remember when she was first announced for VP that we discussed her main-street beauty shop highlights.
And wouldn't more than some people spot a whiff of, errr, racism at the Condeleezza link?
Oh. I forgot. Liberals can't be racist. And they are really really funny.
No hair style in the world or in the imagination can cover up that fertile mind ...
Well if you ain't got any brains at least you can have hair...ya'betcha.
ya know, politics and accomplishments aside, Sarah Palin's a good looking woman, so I had a little fun photoshopping the photoshop...

I feel like I could see her out at the park in the second pic, nice
I guess I have a problem. I try to judge a person by what they do and not by how they look.
There are some God awful looking people out there who serve the world well. They are lucky to be men.
Were they women, .....
The intent of the Photoshopper was apparently to deglamorize Palin. Frankly, I thought that the Photoshopped versions of Palin were fine. I think it's unfortunate that some women feel compelled to look "glamorous" anyway. Maybe Palin ought to turn the tables on this person and make some appearances un-accessorized.
The beholder's bias can blight
What others may think is allright
The way that they see
Just signals to me
That they are just filled up with spite
....uuuu..'o^o'..nn!n....algie

What Milwaukee said....
I for one have misgivings about Sarah's long-term viability, but love her for the nutjob lefties she sends up the wall, including my sister who lives outside Milwaukee. For some reason, women of the left have a sort of lockstep compulsion to define themselves through paint-by-the-numbers infanticide support.
No female who wants to kill her own child is a true woman.
The Family Guy episode was another attempt to tar Palin with a BIG SMEAR brush, altho an articulate Downs Syndrome girl is a strange stretch and I think the asphalt & tar ended up on the SMEARER.
This is a hilarious thread. Almost everyone on here has commented on her looks...which was the photoshopper's point, I'm guessing. I just wish I had a dollar for every man on conservative sites who said some variation of "She's hot," "I'd hit that," "Sure makes those feminazi liberals look like hags," "No cankles like Clinton!" "What a MILF!" etc.
But let's be honest--does anyone really think John McCain chose her because of her insightful foreign policy cred, her powerful connections, her deep political experience?
She's not even a good conservative--she raised taxes on the oil industry, gave a half-billion to a Canadian gasline company on a lick and a promise, happily asked for her share of pork and handed it out, too. There were plenty of suitable, well-known (and older) conservative women who could have been a true asset. Gee, somehow he overlooked Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who is much smarter and well-prepared than Palin. McCain wanted a running mate with a uterus because he figured he'd scoop up all those Hillary-supporters (that's how women work--we're just dumb sheeple). How nice for him that the womb came with a pretty face. Who's really the sexist here?
But I also think pretty is as pretty does. When Larry King asked Michelle Obama about Palin in early February, Obama said, "I think it's wonderful to have strong female voices out there, but I don't know her."
King: "What's your read on the former governor of Alaska?"
Obama: "You know, I don't have a read. I try not to make, or set, opinions about people that I haven't had any, you know, substantive interaction with. I mean, I know what you see on TV and when --"
King: "Does it irk you when she criticizes?"
Obama: "You know, democracy is about critique. And the president is not immune to criticism."
So THAT's what the high road looks like. Who knew?
(BTW, the rumor up here has always been she doesn't need glasses but wears them to look smarter. I have no idea if it's true, but it says something about what Alaskans thought about her smarts from the beginning.)
Yeah, she's one of the folks. Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
AL, there is no other politician on the national stage who is more "one of the folks", nor has there been in my adult lifetime. She put herself through college by working in a fish cannery, for Christ's sake. It doesn't get much more humble than that. Not that any of you pampered pencil-pushing urban liberals would have a clue about those kind of jobs.
Mr. Dooley has a friend by the name of Anne. She plays washboard in a local jazz band. "Washboard Annie" has a whole bunch of "first rules."
This is one:
"The whole world is high school. If you can survive that, you can survive anything,"
--------even being chosen to be the Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Republican party in the 2008 election!!!
Obviously, Sarah Palin has!!!

Maybe, maybe not. However, if they paged through the other paper dolls, they'd quickly see that Hanrahan's whole point was to take women she admires for their accomplishments and reimagine them in other contexts through the medium of paper dolls.
Condoleeza Rice becomes a club-hopper and a 1950's housewife, Sara Fishko becomes a hoochie mama and a socialite, feminist critic of Islam Irshad Manji becomes a country club preppy and a naughty nurse.
It's an interesting message delivered in a cute and imaginative way.
Saw that site myself, a day or so ago. Whoever is behind it is completely off their rocker and needs serious meds.
My blog is anti-Palin-the-politician and liberal/left as it gets, but I'll still defend her when people do this sort of thing. So, sorry to disappoint KENSINGTON, but there will be no high-fives from this corner.
Glamorous or not, photoshopped or not, Sarah is gorgeous, if you like that type. A lot of people do. People need to get real and move on...she looks great and is obviously comfortable in her body. I think that's what makes a lot of people really angry with her, from all camps.
I don't care what politicians look like, I'm just interested in issues. Energy, national defense, the economy, education, government spending...all these are far more interesting than what somebody looks like. Sarah Palin scores high on the energy issue. Nat gas is not just energy, but a chemical used by a wide swath of industries from fertilizer to plastics and the U.S. pays the highest price in the world for nat gas. Lower the price of nat gas, and that makes the U.S. more competitive, and at the same time less dependent on imported oil.
Deglamorizing Sarah, my eye.
The paparazzi catches celebrities and politicians (male and female) out and 'bout without $$$$$ of glitz and paint - sheisen I've never seen so much ugly.
They only wished they still looked like Sarah.
There is actually a picture of her out there without the glasses that was published in Time Magazine the week she was picked by McCain.
She looks much better than the PhotoShop job this clyde is attempting to pass off. For one thing, she doesn't have as many wrinkles around the eyes as the shopper think she does.
She looks like an older version of her beauty pageant pics, basically.
Gee, somehow he overlooked Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who is much smarter and well-prepared than Palin. McCain wanted a running mate with a uterus because he figured he'd scoop up all those Hillary-supporters (that's how women work--we're just dumb sheeple).

That's when I stopped taking your comments about Palin seriously.
Lisa Murkowski is Frank's Little Girl and a hack. Almost as useless to the State of Alaska as the Boy Senator who got elected because of the phony "evidence" that was trumped up about Stevens.
Murkowski shouldn't even be in Washington, but Frank wanted his daughter in the Senate. There are a whole posse of Republicans over at RedState who have written about this, some of whom have no love for Palin. It was nepotism pure and simple.
Lisa Murkowski as Vice-President.
Jesus. That's almost as funny as someone named "Bluedog" lecturing the rest of us on why Palin wasn't a "good conservative" while Obama is running the country into the ground with unsustainable deficit spending. That's almost as funny as Joe Biden!
Oh, wait....
So that is what Sarah Palin would look like if she were a Democrat. Still attractive but I prefer the real thing.
AHA!!!!
I FOUND IT!
Forget the PhotoShop! THIS is what Sarah Palin looks like without the glasses. Published in Time just after McCain picked her and before the Press started going in on her.
By the way, it is worth noting that I found this image on the Bing search engine, not on Google. Why, I can't say.
Naturally, the real Palin is far and away better looking than the PhotoShopped Palin.
Too many comments to read. Just want to mention, taking a woman's hair away as these pics do is a psychological ploy to rob her of her femininity and power. Even the Bible equates a woman's uncut hair with her authority. The person who did these photoshops is seriously threatened by female power and sexuality. That's the point. And yes, very misogynistic.
That said, these pics reveal a strong, natural beauty. We should all be so lucky!
Anyone can play this game...

Obviously a much older photo of a younger Palin. I'm guessing at least 10 years ago from her eyebrows, eye makeup and hair coloring.
Have you people never heard of contact lenses?
I wear glasses and have since 3rd grade. When younger I wore contact lenses all the time for vanity reasons, but as time marched on, I began to need correction for reading as well as distance. Now, for practical reasons I wear glasses and have several pairs for different purposes.
BTW: Spending $350 on prescription glasses is peanuts. I have a pair JUST for the office that cost me that and my driving/sun sensitive glasses were almost $500.
PLUS....I also hunt and fish (not so much anymore). When hunting I never wore contacts because it was just too inconvenient and difficult to deal with contacts while in a duck blind, sneaking up on a rice check for geese, tromping trough the woods hunting deer or casting on a windy and rainy riverbank for Stripped Bass or Salmon.
All this discussion about her looks. So what?
I, too, seem to have missed the point. I find the Photoshopped version considerably more attractive. That wasn't the point?
I still think she looks beautiful, no makeup or whatever. I rarely wear makeup. Why is it something that women are supposed to have to be 'pretty'?
The short hair works for her too. It's cute.
Who has that much time to go through and photo shop her to be supposedly "ugly"?
Palin's beauty is the result of her love for life and positive outlook.
It also is the direct result of her strong belief in a positive "higher power" which helps raise her natural high level of her love for life and positive outlook.
The deglamorised version looks a lot like Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU) to me.
'I still can't get over the obsession Palin haters have with her.'-- DADvocate
It's precisely that, irrational. Or non-rational, anyway. The dislike comes first, then those who despise her try to find reasons for the despite.
(Bill Clinton had a similar effect on one strain of right-winter, and for not totally dissimilar reasons, i.e. he embodied the 60s.)
There is a general political and social narrative animating both sides of the culture war, and those narratives are utterly incompatible. Palin violates several core assumptions of the Left's narrative, their basic world-view, she embodies something their beliefs insist can not exist.
That's why there's such an insistance that she's 'fake' in one way or another. If she is even partly for real, then it means there's something wrong in the heart of the Left's general belief system.
Is America inherently sexist? Then how is she so successful, without being forced on the country by some affirmative action?
Are men inherently threatened by strong, successful woman? Then why do so many men seem to admire and like her?
(Thus the screaming insistence that it must be her looks, and the desire to show that she's really not attractive.)
Are the sexual desires of males a constant burden and threat to women? Then why does this woman seem to be so comfortable with the fact that men find her desirable?
Is motherhood an intolerable burden on women, preventing them from fulfilling themselves and succeeding? Then why does she seem so willing to play the role of mother?
Are guns a terrible existential problem, the tool by which the established order oppresses women and minorities? Then why does this woman seem comfortable with them?
That's just a handful of the ways she embodies something that threatens not just their preferences, but their foundational beliefs.
Clarence Thomas, in his own way, produced a similar reaction, but Palin hits more 'hot buttons' than he did.
(Right-wingers occasionally stumble on this sort of thing too, but it's far, far rarer.)
Looks like Tina Fey in the morning.
Or, for that matter, a photo merge of every female Democratic member of Congress--Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, etc.
'Here was a woman who was doing a lot of what I wanted to do- she had a powerful career but was also able to be a wife and mother (My husband and I decided that I would go to law school on the plan that I would be the breadwinner). She didn't sacrifice her femininity but still played with the big boys.- lyssalovelyredheah
That's the thing about feminism, it's far more than just a movement to make greater opportunities for women. At one time that was what it was mainly about, but the ideological core of its leaders is quite different.
In terms of feminist ideology, you're not supposed to want to be a wife and mother.
That's 'oppression'. Those women who thought they wanted that were suffering from 'false consciousness', having been conditioned by an oppressive, male-dominated society.
I realize that sounds like a spoof, something out of The Onion, but it's exactly the sort of thing that used to be said openly in feminist circles, and is still widely believed among them.
Capitalism was also tightly identified with oppression of women, which is why so much of feminist ideology is socialist.
Nor were you supposed to want your husband to find you sexually desirable, or to want him to like your femininity, that was another form of 'oppression'. Think I'm kidding? Honestly, I'm not, this stuff was all stated aloud and with complete seriousness, and its still believed in the hard-core ideological core of feminism.
Palin, regardless of what one thinks of her politics or competence, maddens ideological feminists (especially) and hard-core Lefties generally because she embodies something that goes againsat the grain of their core beliefs.
I just don't get it. But then, I prefer how women look without makeup. Makeup makes me think of masks.
I agree with a lot of the comm enters. I don't see the point. Take off her makeup, why should I care? I do it every day.
She looks better then most women do without makeup, and whoever photoshopped this was trying to make her look bad?
