Meanwhile, Palin struts around in sexy $500 Cole Haan boots with 31/2-inch stacked heels, courtesy of the Republican National Committee, and male pundits swoon.

The bottom line is Palin is a dish, and the McCain campaign apparently thinks her good looks and cutesy manner will paper over her cringe-inducing incoherence and utter lack of preparation for the presidency.

Maybe that's one reason women have become Palin's biggest critics: An ABC poll found her favorability rate has fallen 24 points among the independent women she was supposed to attract to the ticket.

Even pricey lipstick and designer duds can't camouflage incompetence.

Good column. worth a read

1. I love this excerpt...

"Does anyone really think Palin would be where she is today - one of the four people closest to taking a seat behind the Oval Office desk - if she looked like Madeleine Albright?"

I love Madeline Albright, but this quote is dead on. Palin's image is part and parcel of why she is on the national stage. Her $150,000 shopping spree is VERY relevant IMO.

2. I really feel like she was the biggest mistake McCain made in the campaign.

thankfully she failed as a distraction, and became one.

3. as a nod to women she's a complete disaster

but overall she's a complete insult to any thinking voter
