Arlen Specter on Sarah Palin & Her Skirt Length: She ‘Radiated Sensuality’

Arlen Specter may have switched parties after John McCain lost the 2008 election, but based on a passage in the former Senator’s new book, “Life Among Cannibals,” he may have had a bit of a soft spot for McCain’s running mate. In fact, one passage in the book reads more like a Harlequin romance novel than a political memoir. The Washington Post spotted this hot and heavy excerpt and threw it up on their “In the Loop” blog:

For example, in one steamy passage on page 156, he recalls riding on Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) campaign bus in 2008 with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

“She was a total charmer, very friendly,” Specter writes. “The few things she said were intelligent.” He doesn’t mention what they were, maybe because he was distracted.

“We were sitting virtually knee to knee in the cramped bus,” he writes. ”She radiated sensuality. Her skirt rode above her knees — not exactly short, but close.”

One wonders whether Specter would have been able to part with his muse so easily by switching parties had she been elected Vice President.

      Specter is a disgusting man and has always been a perverted wicked disgusting man… Remember he was the one who helped the cold blooded murderer Ira Einhorn escape the country.. Guess it was a tribal thing… Sometimes murder or even rape is over looked… Who was the movie producer who fled the country after raping the 13 yr old back in the 70s and is now held up in Switzerland? He says it was all good.. That it was consensual and if I’m not mistaken Specter was on record advocating that charges also be dropped against him due to his promotion of the Holocaust industry…

      It’s all tribal. Sick!

Here in Oklahoma Reg. is $3.59 and prem. is $3.84 a gal. Got e-mail this morning where the day is April 14th, so don’t buy any gas that day unless an emergency!

      Palin 2012! In this day and age it is really important to look good.

      Sarah and Bristol take very good care of themselves, as any celebrity would, and they are better looking and in better shape than any HBO actresses would ever be. I believe they work hard on their physical appearance.

      Any self respecting public figure knows – no matter how intelligent, you do not get to be President if you look like Newt Gingrich or Michael Moore.

      And there is always room for improvement, if you want to stay popular.

      For example, look at President and First Lady Bush who we just saw on C-SPAN. More than once I thought Laura Bush needs a makeover and “stiffie” hairdo like Marsha Blackburn, Michele Bachmann, and so many other leading conservative women have gone to this year. She was not included in the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute 2012 Great American Conservative Women calendar. She needs a little facial work and upper body surgery like Sarah and Bristol have, plus a personal trainer, and her poorly fit pants suits made her look a little like Mooshelle from the rear.

      Meanwhile, at 65, George W. still looks like a classic ‘hottie.”

      There is some reason Sarah Palin is popular, and it’s not her education, her knowledge of US public policy, foreign policy or or world or national politics or a deep philosophical grounding for conservative beliefs. She gives a good speech, turns a good phrase now and then and sends zingers at Democrats via twatter. She’s definitely a Republican rock star.

      Many people are lined up behind her wanting to firmly embrace her ideas, and many more are attracted to the larger than life image she projects right up front. She’s not afraid to put it out their. So many love the shape of her ideas which make firm the beliefs that hold tightly in their hand and heart.

      But the idea that her appeal is sensual rather than brains? That’s nonsense, as anyone can clearly see for themselves.

In the last 6 mos, she has turned off loads of voters, including myself on how she has treated Mitt. Now I‘m beginning to wonder if it’s all about bigotry as I’ve seen so much of it but the media does not discuss it. I am shocked by so called Christians who are nothing but bigots. Sarah is finished. She actually thought backing Newt would be a sure win for him but it didn’t help him. Now she’s backing Santorum &, hopefully, the same thing happens. Newt & Santorum have shown they do not have the temperament to be president. She actually wants a brokered convention hoping to be the nominee, it will never happen as her supports come from the religious far right & they are in the minority. She would turn off everybody else. I no longer listen to her & switch station when she comes on my screen.

I once watched any show was on, now it is just the opposite. I read many posts saying the same thing from people who loved her. Frankly, I’m so sick of this primary & blame Steele for it because so many states are proportional now making it so difficult to be the nominee. McCain lost a whole slew of states but was ahead early because he didn’t have to deal with this. Palin has spent her time dissing Romney so what does she expect from his supporters?

I do not like how the left media has attacked her, nor do I condone their mysogny. However, there are real and credible issues that one can make about Sarah Palin without attacking her personally. She is not given a pass from these criticisms just because she is female. If she wants to play the game, then she needs to toughen up. Santorum needs to toughen up too.

      “Oh! I don’t like her hair.“ ”Did you see that outfit she wore!!!“ ”I wouldn’t ever be seen with those shoes!”
      “I think she’s fat!“ ”She really should do something about her nose.“ ”She must be stupid if she doesn’t know how to put on make-up.“ ” What a dimwit. Did you hear what she said?“ ”Her family just doesn’t have it together.“ ” I don‘t thind she’s pretty at all.“ ”Who would ever want to be married?!!”
