It's a non-scandal. People have been complaining about the $150,000 spent on clothes, hair and makeup for Sarah Palin by the Republican National Committee as she stumps for office. I'm no fan of Palin, but we all know popularity gets tangled up with looks, and far, far more so for women than for men. If Palin were 10 times as qualified but looked half as good, she probably wouldn't even be on the ticket. Basically, if Palin looks good, her chances to win look good (well, maybe not good, but a hell of a lot better than if she weren't milfy). Here's a CNN news babe that shares my sentiments.
