OK ok, for the record, I find discussions of the looks of female office holders to be just kind of off, unless a very specific point is made. Female office holders are not there to be hot. They are there to gt a job done.

An exception to this rule is Palin, who holds no office, has no talent and only garnered national attention because she was seen by the GOP high command as a semi attractive, Hilary vote attractor.

I have no problem discussing whether or not actresses are attractive. Even bad actresses playing the part of politicians.

Palin is at best, a 6 (and that assumes she is not voicing any of her odious, ignorant, dishonest or immoral opinions). When stupidity is taken into account, she goes negative.
