With her seat in danger, the Coloradan is starting to sound like a completely different person at home.

      The fake weathering is so poorly done. They look like wardrobe from some terrible B movie.

        I misread boots as boobs, and spent at least half a minute staring at her chest trying to figure out what the “fake weathering” of her boobs even meant, before I scrolled far enough to see the hideous boots.

        As a gay man I’m not even fond of staring at boobs in the first place, never mind those of such a horrible person.

          No need to explain, sir. Staring at someone’s boobs for five minutes straight to get in on the smack talk is one of the gayest things I’ve heard of. And I used to spread my butt cheeks for Playgirl magazine.

          She’s clearly not a huge fan of sunscreen (not getting skin cancer is too liberal, I guess), so give her another 10 years and there’ll be some real weathering on her boobs.

          Several of my gay friends still enjoy a good boob. I think it’s more of a “this thing gave me life” instinctual thing than a sexual thing but we can still agree 😀

    I love how gender diverse the clown community has become. It used to be such a male dominated industry, but now with MTG and this bimbo, well- it’s just nice to see.

    Thank you Mrs. Palin. For showing everyone that women can have just as successful careers as clowns as men can.

    She also pointed to a lack of outside help, and low GOP turnout.

    “Low GOP turnout”? Isn’t it her job to motivate people to turn out to vote? Sounds like she isn’t very good at it.

    “A lack of outside help”? So despite those ugly-ass boots, she apparently doesn’t know how to use her own bootstraps.
