Looking presidential

Matt Lewis catches Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart tut-tutting over Sarah Palin’s cover photo for the most recent Newsweek:
Folks want to be able to envision someone sitting in the Oval Office. They don’t necessarily want to envision them in the pages of Esquire magazine’s “Sexiest Woman Alive 2011” or Maxim. She can’t possibly be taken seriously as a presidential contender dressed like that, especially since this is the second time she has graced Newsweek in a less-than-presidential pose.
Can’t be taken seriously. You mean, like this?


Capehart then moves on to take issue with what Palin actually has to say in the Newsweek interview, and what Capehart has to say could have been written for him by Tim Geithner – in fact, it practically was.

Personally, I think Sarah Palin would be the best-looking president we ever had, and a great president, period. Yet for all her virtues, I have to confess that the main reason I’d like to see her win is the prospect of witnessing, close-up, the mass apoplexy that would strike all the inside-the-beltway types – e.g., Jonathan Capehart – who eagerly swallow this administration’s talking points in the delusion that these endless liberal placebos represent the gospel truth and are not only delicious but good for what ails us.

I believe that Sarah would be a good president. I don't think that she can be elected because the media hate her so. They will attempt to make her look so bad that independents will vote for someone else, even Obama. Also I believe that if she were the republican candidate some fool might run as a third party candidate.

Sarah's election = the head explosion heard around the world

You forgot the snapshot of Obama in baggy shorts and flipflops.

I don't think Sarah will run because I believe her family doesn't want her to. But she's going to keep them guessing and wetting their pants, anyway. Go Sarah!
