Some observations about Sarah Palin

She certainly is looking bad on her most recent Fox interview. She never was coherent but at least she used to be eye candy for those repressed GOPers. Not any more.

Two observations:

1. Her hair looks like she's wearing either a very bad wig, or she's trying to grow dreads.

2. Her Star of David necklaces are getting bigger and bigger. Gotta love it.

Always has been, always will be, and don't care how she looks. She has an ugly heart, a filthy racist mouth and she's a dummy.

And that's that.

It was about her intellect, or lack thereof, and her lack of heart. It specifically said her looks didn't matter.

I noted that post because it sums up my opinion exactly. She's a dimwit and a charlatan without a hint of social conscience.

She's a talentless grifter quitter who makes the Kardashians look like people of value.

Enough about grass roots politics to be questioned about it. She knows no more than what is printed in any Associated Press news article, if she even reads anything at all.

to (I guess) show her support for Israel against the Kenyan in the White House (soooo tongue in cheek) who obviously doesn't wear his support for Israel on his sleeve. But the previous one was smaller. When I saw the size of the one she was wearing for her recent Fox interview, I had to laugh out loud. The size of it had really grown.

amongst certain Christian denominations, especially amongst the women of same, to wear a Star of David to acknowledge Christianity's Jewish roots and to indicate pro-Israel support.

I guess the Star of David she wears grows in size as her support grows? Or maybe it wasn't visible enough before?

I doubt her sincerity...to say the least.

There'd be nothing inappropriate with me wearing my great-grandmother's magen David - by tradition, and I was named for her - but I don't, as I don't practice the religion that by birth I'm a member of; to me it doesn't seem quite right.

For a non-Jew to wear one it seems a little disrespectful - like if I were to wear a very pretty antique silver rosary I have as a necklace. Not enough for me to get up in arms about - see my first paragraph; I'm a Jew by circumstance - but enough to say "ew."

I also agree it appears disrespectful. And the rest of your post. Heck, maybe I should have just replied, "yeah, I agree 100%!" and left it at that.

I think you explained very well that gut feeling I had when I saw palin wearing it and then read of the latest trend.

Thanks for confirming the site, too.

She had only pretty to sell, and she has not taken care of it, instead allowing stylists and staffers to brand her as a matronly prude no longer as capable of motivating the menopausal male, Christian gun-lover.

Instead of reinventing herself as a thinker, she has coasted on easy money.
