Palin Goes Makeup-Free—and Kinda, Sorta Gives the Finger—After Family Is Involved in Drunken Fight

Excuse us, Sarah Palin, but are you slyly giving us the finger?

The casually dressed politician was spotted flaunting a makeup-free face while shopping in Anchorage earlier today, and while it may just be the way she decided to hold on to all of her things, it looks as though the former Alaska governor flipped the bird and discreetly gave cameras the middle finger.

Whether it was intentional or not, it happened. Well played, Palin.

The GOP Vice Presidential nominee's au naturel outing comes on the heels of her family's involvement in a drunken brawl at a snowmobile party in Alaska.

edit I don't know if the pix is legit and/or the context when the picture was taken

1. Meh. I'd bet large dollar this headline is an intentional lie

She was almost certainly coming out of a gym/workout.

[Botany]

4. I don't know what to think

[Kaleva]

22. That's what it looks like to me.

[Tripper11]

2. In all her "glory"

[Ichingcarpenter]

42. Meth is a terrible drug

and makes you sweat. Looks like a bad come down


Hyperthermia is a symptom of methamphetamine (METH) intoxication and a factor implicated in neurotoxicity during chronic METH use. To characterize the thermic response to METH, it was injected once daily into rats at increasing doses (0, 1, 3, and 9 mg/kg, s.c.) while [...] temperatures were continuously monitored. METH produced dose-dependent hyperthermia, with brain structures (especially the NAcc) showing a more rapid and pronounced temperature increase than the muscle. At the highest dose, brain and body temperatures increased 3.5–4.0°C above basal levels and remained elevated for 3–5 hr.






Oh sorry ..... I forgot that Wasila used to be the meth capital of Alaska.







She still has good facial bone structure

[BuelahWitch]

57. She looks like a normal 50 year old woman

I'm not really up on my drug culture, so I don't know much about meth face, but to me she doesn't look that bad. I hate her politics and her attitude, but I'm not going to diss her for going shopping with no makeup.

[Codeine]

64. She looks fine. She's fifty.

Most people aren't going to look as good as her at that age.

To their credit most people will, however, be much more intelligent.

[louis-t]

70. HAWT!!1!1!!

[tblue]

3. A woman is allowed to go without makeup.

Even Sarah Palin. Please don't tell me a woman always has to wear makeup and, if she doesn't, she'll be publicly shamed and laughed at.

Sarah may or may not be flipping the bird. Hard to tell.

I am no fan of Sarah Palin. But this strikes me as a low blow and too excruciatingly personal for me to find amusing.

This is from someone who struggles every day with self-confidence in my physical appearance. Please don't hold it against a woman if her face isn't wash-and-wear perfect. I'm sure you don't mean it to be, but it's not fair and it's unkind.

[Botany]

8. sorry if i hurt you

I have no problem w/no make up and I think the media sells an unreal
ideal to women as to how they should look.

P

[Sheldon Cooper]

13. LOL!!!

You joined this website exactly THREE MINUTES AGO, but you know all about the "hypocritcal feminists here"??? LOL - who are you, really? Fooling no one, dude.

[Catherine Vincent]

65. ...

[sufrommich]

15. Really? Point out the feminists doing that. nt

[zipplewrath]

31. You've learned all that today.

You've learned all of this today, which is apparently when you joined the community.

[JTFrog]

36. Frequent flyer program. n/t

[Sheldon Cooper]

41. Yeah, I was going to notify the MIRT team, but I don't know how to do it.

I'm sure someone will be along soon enough to clean up the mess.

[Phentex]

47. Don't worry...we feminists will use our power over the admins WITH OUR MIND CONTROL techniques!

all together now!

[hifiguy]

50. MIRT's troll-removal skills are world class.

In fact I can smell pepperoni from here.

[JustAnotherGen]

53. Did you alert them yet?

If not - I will.

[hifiguy]

54. Give 'em a ring.

[hifiguy]

55. Already zapped/tombstoned/ppr'd.

Thanks, MIRT!

[Sheldon Cooper]

61. I hope that this will go to the Admins, so they can see if it's someone

who created a sock to get around a time-out. I wouldn't be surprised.

[sufrommich]

32. Again,show us the feminists who are OK with this.nt

[Sheldon Cooper]

34. Again, Mr or Mrs Joined Three Minutes Ago:

Who are these mysterious "feminists" that you are quoting? I haven't seen one "feminist" bagging on Palin's appearance here, or calling her a bitch, or anything else really. It's mystifying how you know so much already! Fooling no one, dude (or dudette)!

[JTFrog]

51. Maybe?

Don't be so easy on yourself. I imagine there are many mistakes you can reassess while eating your pizza.

[xfundy]

39. Did anyone remember to warm up

the pizza oven?

[FSogol]

43. I'm sure MIRT is on it.

[tammywammy]

40. For three posts you're quite the expert.

Enjoy your stay.

[cyberswede]

48. Uh huh.

I don't see any feminists in this thread doing that. Nice try. though.

[strawberries]

25. I thought I was

alone in that thinking. As the Clinton's used to say, and I paraphrase, any attention is a good thing.

To take this a step further, the only reason I know about what goes on in Fox (yes, I said fox not faux) news is from this site.

[liberalhistorian]

58. Thank you, I was about to post the

same thing. I cannot stand Palin and it's still so very frightening to think we were so close to having her as the person who's just a "heartbeat away" from being president, but I have to completely agree with you. Women should never be expected to be perfectly made up every single time they venture out from their home, that's a media-driven ideal that drives me batshit crazy. We are allowed to, at times, simply be ourselves. Many women actually look a lot better without makeup.

[Phentex]

59. Her skin is amazing...

with or without the makeup.

[Feral Child]

72. Agreement.

Also, I'm thinking gym rather than shopping.

Tabloid journalism.

[wilt the stilt]

5. wow that is pretty frightening n/t

[WorseBeforeBetter]

6. Didn't we go through "giving the finger" with one of the daughters?

Willow? Redbud? Forsythia? She was quite young... 7ish or so. The pic was Photoshopped.

[hifiguy]

68. I think that was Jello or Pistol

per the Danziger toon.

[951-Riverside]

7. Gross! That is so disgusting. I have never seen anything so hideous.

Why would anyone want to be seen in public looking like that?

...I'm gonna be sick!

[packman]

10. Oh, boy

are you going to get shit for that comment. Quick-add a sarcasm smilie to your post.

[joeglow3]

26. Like the person above said, PLEASE add the sarcasm tag

[Logical]

73. Wow, are you a mean person! So every woman you know looks perfect? nt

[JohnnyLib2]

11. To my amazement,

I find that look rather attractive.

[snooper2]

35. LOL, she looks like she just did some meth

[sufrommich]

12. I don't care who it is,breathlessly "reporting"

that a woman left her house without makeup is asinine and insulting.

[Codeine]

21. She's a perfectly attractive woman,

just stupid, petty, and unrelentingly banal.

[sufrommich]

30. I agree,but there's a tabloid market

that pays for pictures shaming famous women for being "unpresentable". I guess I should be surprised that it gets approval on a liberal forum,but I'm not.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. yup

[Schema Thing]

62. plus, she is fairly obviously not "shopping", but rather

sweaty from a workout.


The paparazzi shooting this deserved the finger.

[hifiguy]

14. It isn't the lack of makeup - makeup is optional -

but is it that hard to run a comb or a brush through your hair before going out in public?

Pretty spooky, though, Dobe.

[joeglow3]

27. Yeah ladies. Bring all your personal items to the gym

hifiguy demands you meet a certain level of attractiveness after working out.

[hifiguy]

33. I brought a comb to the gym

and used it after working out and showering, when I belonged to a gym. In fact there's always a comb in my back pocket.

[Sheldon Cooper]

16. Newsflash, ladies!! Hear ye hear ye!

Don't ever leave home, or the gym, or anywhere else for that matter, unless you are perfectly made up and coiffed. Got that??

[sufrommich]

20. She was asking for it!

[Sheldon Cooper]

23. Yep!!

She committed the cardinal sin that we 'girls' all learn from a very young age.

[FSogol]

45. LOL, She'll never find a man like that, right?

[BuelahWitch]

63. God DAMN her for looking like the 50 year old she is!

Any woman who doesn't make an attempt to look 20 years younger than she is at all times should be shot!

[pleinair]

18. She looks fine

I'm no fan of Palin, but I agree with another poster who said no woman is required to wear makeup.

[Tikki]

19. WHAT!! The media doesn't love her any more...

She'll be back on the nooz next week, all maked up and babbling away...

And somewhere out there, someone will care....


Tikki

[Phentex]

28. Looks like she just left the gym...

why would she wear makeup TO the gym?

She looks fine to me. Paparazzi are so desperate for a story.

[snooper2]

38. look at those eyes, it's the meth I'm telling everyone!

[Phentex]

44. I can't look at her eyes!

or she will take my soul from me!

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. When this was posted last night, the poster had the conscience to delete.

I look far worse than this right now, sitting here in my jammies with my hair unbrushed, and I left the house to drop my son off at school. I don't even have a gym visit as an excuse.

[DrDan]

49. lots of reasons to go after sarah - this picture is not one of them

[cyberswede]

52. You know, it's her soul that's ugly. Who gives a shit what she looks like on the outside?

[bluesbassman]

60. That's the truth of it.

[Codeine]

66. Exactly this.

I actually think she's quite attractive, and I believe we would all agree with that if she weren't a half-wit know-nothing.

[Arkansas Granny]

56. A woman is allowed to go makeup-free and I won't criticize anyone for that.

About the finger? Don't know, don't care.

[blogslut]

67. Unrec

[MineralMan]

69. Fortunately, most of us aren't subject to people

taking and publishing unflattering photos of us. Sarah Palin is a horrid person, but this photo is just paparazzi crap.

[Blue_In_AK]

71. I honestly can't remember the last time I wore makeup,

and actually it's fairly common for women in Alaska to go makeup-free. This is a casual place. There are other things to criticize Sarah for without going there. This isn't Hollywood.

[ladjf]

74. What is this, "The Clampets Go Bad". ?

[Sunlei]

75. not that bad, she has the botox 'mask' face and a right eye /w swollen lids.

more interested in what the paper says under her middle finger.

[Beach Rat]

77. Looks like she bought herself some Powerball tickets to me.

She already won the dumbass lottery the day McCain put her on the ticket. What are the odds of her winning again?

[samsingh]

76. she looks really bad and she's giving the world the finger

[get the red out]

78. She just looks so different

When I take my makeup off I don't look that different, and I am the same age as her. I always have the same short hair-cut so that might be the difference. I wish I was thin like her though.
