In her defense, the shots of her in short shorts were meant for a running magazine, not for Newsweek. Though you still have to wonder why she’d do that anyways. And apparently she’s now calling the cover ’sexist’. So, was it not sexist when you agreed to it for a running magazine and now suddenly it is when you show up on Newsweek? I don’t think you get it both ways. It’s either sexist or it’s not.
But what might get the photographer fired isn’t the photograph itself. He breached contract to sell it to Newsweek. Not quite the drama you’d imagine, but a big deal nonetheless.
I admit it: Palin fascinates me. Maybe it’s the time I spent living in Alaska and seeing her politics firsthand, who knows?
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is set to deliver remarks at a Wisconsin Right to Life event tonight, one of the few speeches the former Republican presidential nominee will have given since she resigned the governorship last summer. But Palin appears to be doing her best to keep a low profile on this trip: no press will be allowed into the Milwaukee auditorium where she will speak and those who have paid the $30 admittance fee are unable to carry in cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind.
So let me get this straight, Palin: it’s 2009 and you’re expecting people to come to an event without their phones? Seriously? I can maybe understand no press and laptops, but does she really think there’s someone that’s really going to screw her over by huddling in a corner with their iPhone or Blackberry? And what kind of harm would a camera do?
Anyways, her memoir “Going Rogue: An American Life” is released soon.
“Virginia, hello, this is Sarah Palin calling to urge you to go to the polls Tuesday and vote to share our principles,” the former Alaska governor says in the call, which was provided to CNN by one Democrat who recorded it. “The eyes of America will be on Virginia and make no mistake about it, every vote counts. So don’t take anything for granted, vote your values on Tuesday, and urge your friends and family to vote, too.”
But the recording makes no mention of the Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate…which makes you go “huh”? Why the robocalls if you’re not even going to mention the candidate?
