“The hotness of Sarah Palin has not gone unremarked,” blogs the Con Man, “nor should it any more than John F. Kennedy’s so-called “charisma.” Sex appeal is a huge bonus for a political candidate regardless of their ‘capacities,’ to quote the late Al Campanis, and speculation about Sarah Palin’s bodyparts will continue as long as the half-time Governor of Alaska continues to sling for the fences…. For me, it comes down to this: if she weren’t such a puppet and a parrot—if it were possible for her to have an original idea in her head—then she would be red-hot regardless of age, state, or circumstance. She’s smart enough, but the problem is she keeps opening her mouth and nothing worth knowing ever comes out. Talking points are not sexy. Repeating your political mantras on cue is a bore. Not even Elliot Spitzer could spend five minutes in a room with Sarah Palin without running from the room like a loon.”
