A Palinomenon: 'The Wild Woman Within'

The LA Times has a look at the latest craze sweeping the land: Palin-mania!
Judging by the news coverage in recent days -- and by measurable reader response to items about the Alaska governor, including this widely-viewed Palin fashion photo gallery -- Palin is No. 1 on the Republican ticket, even though she's really No. 2.

With Sen. John McCain, the presidential nominee standing there grinning, their joint crowds spontaneously break out in chants of "Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!" Her upswept hairstyle is reportedly being widely copied, according to people who notice such things.
Have a look through the photo gallery. Some very nice images, but accompanying them are text and a ratings sample for each.

Check out this one:


Then have a look at the caption.
Gov. Sarah Palin’s studious brown eye frames give her a decidedly serious look. But that long, flowing hair, big gold hoop earrings and ruffled white cotton blouse, unbuttoned lower than usual, reveal the wild woman within.
Wild woman within? For what it's worth she rated 58.8% for VP bulls eye.

This one sure shows she's got a sense of humor.

Sarah Palin wears a T-shirt that proves she's proud to be called "Valley Trash" by one of her detractors. I tell ya, this gal's got spunk.

Thanks to Ace for the link.
