Yes she posed for it but don’t tell me they didn’t purposely use that photo to make a point?

sure, she stood there, in that outfit, on that set, in that pose (and many many others), and let them shoot dozens of shots of her. but she had no idea they would actually use one of them – she thought they were just having some fun!

lil Sarah’s just not familiar with the ways of them big-city fo-to-graphers. she’s simple folk.

This cover should be insulting to women politicians.
Sarah Palin is insulting to most serious female politicians, David. Would you have preferred a photo of Sarah groping for an answer when attack journo Katie Couric asked her which magazines she read? How about a photo of her resigning her governorship?
Ass.

So… does that make the photo of Obama in swimtrunks offensive both to hot guys and black guys or just the black guys?

She runs in nylons? Or does she just let her nylons run…

sure, she stood there, in that outfit, on that set, in that pose (and many many others), and let them shoot dozens of shots of her. but she had no idea they would actually use one of them – she thought they were just having some fun!

Sarah? Carrie Prejean on Line Two.

“Where’s the sexy photo of Mitt Romney?” Sorry, but even the maddest Photoshop skillz could not make that happen. Meanwhile, as Mauimom points out: you runs with the pics you gots. If Carrie had sent her boyfriend a video of herself fervently praying while dressed in her best little-house-on-the-prairie chastity outfit instead of that interpretive anatomy lesson up close, her lot in life would be quite different right now.

And, likewise, Sarah: she stood there, looking like a cross between an Aryan Nation pinup girl and a reject from a Shopping Channel casting call, wanting THAT look to be hers. She owns it, David; that’s her. Face it, and then unzip and give in to your urges — you’ll feel better for it.

“She owns it, David; that’s her. Face it, and then unzip and give in to your urges — you’ll feel better for it.

He seems more like the elastic stretch pants type, no unzipping or rezipping required….

You got it, DennisSGMM. SHE is a fucking insult to female politicians–not her sexy outfits.

Oh, and David Brody/Broder/Brooks: Ratface Pawlenty lounging with his shirt unbuttoned….Thanks for that image–no, really. Now is the time when I wash out my brain with bleach.

Even as I applauded the tactical and strategic stupidty of McCain’s choice I couldn’t help wondering what Kay Bailey Hutchison, or Susan Collins, or Olympia Snowe thought of it. If he was so dead set on having a female politician from Alaska on the ticket he could have chosen Lisa Murkowski. His selection of the Alaska Airhead in a misguided effort to harvest the PUMA vote suggests that something other than politics influenced his decision. I have the strong feeling that when he saw Palin, all six ounces of McCain’s blood rushed to his lap and thus a star was born.

Wasn’t Bloody B. Kristol the first to be charmed out of his thong by Sweet Sarah, on the Nat’l. Review’s Cruise to Nowhere 2007? Bill then spread the alien plague to John Sidney III & other Washingtonians.

She’s Bad News For The GOP- And For Everybody Else, AlsoToo

Yes she posed for it but don’t tell me they she didn’t purposely use that photo pose to make a point.

fixed.

At first I thought that said “Broder,” but he only gets hard-ons for Cheney and Rove.

Where’s the sexy photo of Mitt Romney? Why not a picture of Tim Pawlenty with an unbuttoned shirt relaxing on a couch in the Twin Cities?

Because Lindsey Graham might see starbursts…?

What, no love for the Mittster and his “shoulders you could land a 737 on,” his “chiseled-out-of-granite features” and “full, dark head of hair going a distinguished gray at the temples” and “barrel chest,” his “overpowering…vigor”? Roger Simon, I feel your pain.

Speaking of thongs:

Brody would freak if he saw this headline (about the same Newsweek photo)

Sarah Palin has a leg up on other Republicans

You’d think he’d like it. Sexy Bible Spice picture.

Also, except Almost Famous. Also.

Note the use of Old Glory as a throw, a handy place for $P’s elbow, and just inches from the floor…

Oh please. Quit the whining victimization.

Do they even bother to use the Googles?

“How do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah?”

Um, ignore her?

Of course thats never going to happen. Just like a bad car wreck you just have to slow down and look. Upside is, by 2012 she will have probably totally self destructed.

As soon as somebody takes a “sexy” picture of mitt (with the magic underware top button un-buttoned), I’m sure somebody will run it.

Wasn’t Bloody B. Kristol the first to be charmed out of his thong by Sweet Sarah, on the Nat’l. Review’s Cruise to Nowhere 2007?

Now there’s a guy who always thinks with his dick.

Kristol is a giant mutant dick that has, in some rudimentary ways, learned to mimic being a human.

Now that she’s captured the heart of Moondoggie, her next get-up should cast her as Sister Bertrille.

I so did not need that image, Dennis, thankyewverymuch. EW! More bleach for my braaaains!

And, I think it was also indicative of how the Republicans view diversity in general. “Hey, Hillary Clinton has female genitalia. So does Palin. Who would ever know the difference?” It’s like making Michael Steele the chairman of the RNC.

Every magazine cover is designed to sell issues. That is obvious to everyone but ignoramuses like Brody.

No, that was the Weekly Standard cruise. The National Review cruise was the one where she charmed Jonah out of his Battlestar Galactica boxers.

Tim Pawlenty Strikes Back!

I love how he says, “They don’t use a photo of Palin on the campaign trail.” hey genius she’s not campaigning for anything she couldn’t even gut it out for one term as governor of North Oklahoma

P.S. Yes, I remember this thread my Sooner comrades I am just with the joking OK, OK? OK!

The Newsweek caption is in reference to a show tune called “How do you Solve a Problem Like Maria” from “The Sound of Music” by rogers and hammerstein. The reference is apt:

“When Oscar Hammerstein II wrote the lyric for this song, he followed the lead from a line in the dialogue that Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse wrote in their script, describing Maria’s flighty ways in the Abbey. In particular, he was taken by the detail of her wearing curlers in her hair under her wimple.[1]” (wikipedia)

According to CNN’s Political Ticker, Sarah thinks its a “sexist” pic as well.

So much stupid, so few brains.

What exactly is that flag covering up? I think it might be Sarah’s Big Pipeline Fantasy Dildo Collection – coming soon to a Wal-mart near you.

LOL! T-t-t-t-talkin’ ’bout my demographic!

I hate you for linking that. I hate myself even more for clicking on it.

This is the woman who winked at the American public during the VP debate.

Surprisingly they wouldn’t use the upskirt shots I got from one of her rally’s?!?

Praise Jesus!

Newsweek used this photo for a legitimate journalistic purpose: to demonstrate Palin’s extraordinary narcissism, her overt use of her sexuality to get what she wants from the world (money and attention), and her absolutely abysmal judgment. They used it because this photo, all on its own, pretty much sums up “the problem of Sarah.”

She, a 40-something Churchafundian mother, grandmother and GOVERNOR OF ALASKA, happily posed in shorts and hose for this inappropriate cheesecake photo and now she’s whining that the utter embarrassment of it is somehow somebody else’s fault. The different “context” is what makes her look ridiculous. NEWSWEEK magazine is responsible for her simpering lack of dignity. Riiiiight.

Whatever happened to “personal responsibility,” Sarah?

This entire article/thread is hilarious in light of major liberal outlets coming out and joining in with David Brody (maybe not in the same exact terms, but in the same spirit), including Joan Walsh and Digby. What a difference 24 hours makes.

Not that Brody still isn’t a tool, but that doesn’t mean Newsweek is any better.
