Why are there no photos of Joe Biden's shoes (you just have to see this!)
There are no words to describe this article.....or are there? Who are these dead-head women?

"WHEN Sarah Palin stepped out to deliver her speech at the Republican national convention it was her feet that did the talking.

The self-styled “pit-bull in lipstick” stole the show with her buckled red peep-toe patent heels – and now women across America are rushing to copy her look.

Sales of the striking scarlet shoes have soared since the 44-year-old Republican vice presidential candidate’s speech earlier this month.

John McCain’s running mate is an unlikely model for the £45 Double Dare shoes from the Naughty Monkey label, whose edgy styles usually target the 20-something market.

But perhaps the same women who have copied her smart up-do and rimless specs appreciate the devilish touch these red shoes can bring to such a prim image.

Double Dares have almost sold out in Los Angeles and online orders have doubled – just as those trademark specs have been flying off the shelves, with manufacturers working round the clock to keep up with demand.

16. Why would someone want to copy an out of style yahoo
While I don't think Palin is ugly (although she is to me, due to character) I certainly don't think she's "hot".

She wears a shellacked hairdo, her glasses are way out of style, she has a huge jaw, looks cross-eyed and continually surprised.

And her children look like they came from one of those Appalachian "feed the children" commercials. Now I'm not picking on her children or saying they're ugly. They just look very neglected and depressed.

3. This HAS to be BS.
PLEASE tell me this is BS. I am begging you.
Her smart up-do? WTF? This is a concocted story to show how "cool" the Republicans are, it has to be doesn't it?

12. fact: republican women are "across America"
that a percentage of that group are lemmings who would rush out to "update" their look in imitation of a pentecostal mother of 5 from the hinterlands does not mean Palin is a fashion icon.
it means that SOME women in america are truly stupid

19. Noticed those shoes and others
like it that she wears. Inappropriate for a vp to say the least.
Those are "f#@k me" shoes!

Just in case you thought the Palin Derangement Syndrome was starting to wane in DUmmyland. Every new poll reflecting her popularity among normal Americans stirs the DUmmies to new heights.

Remember, a few months ago, half of these savages supported The Beast in her crusty pantsuit.

You know, I've always found the propensity of the primitives to put something down just because the primitives don't like it, interesting.

It's like the primitives actually believe their taste in personalities, fashion, whatnot, count with the rest of us.

For the record, I don't care much for the stuff the next vice-president wears or puts on, but it all obviously suits her, and just because I don't care for something doesn't mean millions of others don't too.

Whenever a primitive says "I don't like....." it's an automatic brain shut-down time here, and I go on to something else on Skins's island.

From the same dolts who believe the 60's look is still in style.

21. Proof Repub Women Don't Know How to THINK for Themselves.
   
Conservative so-called Christian women have been brainwashed so much by their churches and husbands that they have to ask their husband's opinions on everyday things like "should I go to the store or wait till it stops raining?" "Should I make a pot roast or pork chops for dinner?" They have completely forgotten how to think.
Now they are wearing ugly shoes so they will look the part. Sickening.

Hmm...wow. Do they really believe this stereotype? I mean really? I may ask for the opinion of the men in my life whether they be husband, father, brothers, friends, etc, but I do not, repeat, do not wait for their approval to make decisions on things. I find something worthwhile in a masculine perspective...maybe something I had not considered. And I managed to live for almost 10 years between my daddy's house and my husband and decide if to go out in the rain or stay home or fix something in particular for dinner(never once had to call my male boss to help me out or anything ). But, I suppose some over there have to believe shit like this to remain liberal because if they knew that conservative women can be decisive, swift to act, and capable and that their other half's actually find that attractive about them, it would shatter their feminist brainshower they've been getting for years. Speaking of brainwashing...

What people like appleann really are oppposed to is the idea that a woman values a man's opinion on anything and would work in coordination with him to build a life for them and their children. THAT is really what chaps her hide--that all women are NOT bristling against men for the sake of doing so or belittling them for being...well, men.

Sarah Palins bad hair days are better than a DUmmies best days.

They're projecting themselves on us again.

Well, she looks Maaaahvelous to me, but that's really got nothing to do with why I'll vote for her.
