Now, it’s her hair
Photoshop: David Lunde
Yes, there’s a newspaper that actually paid a staffer to write an article about Gov. Sarah Palin’s “outdated” hair.
As opposed to Silky Pony’s?
Crikey on steroids. Next, they’ll be examining her teeth and handbag choices. Oh, and perhaps that Washington Post style who savaged John Roberts’ family for their fashion sense will attack the Palin kids’ shoe styles.
They just can’t help themselves:
Yes, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has a lot on her plate: a pregnant teen daughter, a son on his way to Iraq, an infant with Down syndrome and a looming national election.
But must her hair suffer? With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band.
“It’s about 20 years out of date,” said Boston stylist Mario Russo of the Alaska governor’s ’do. “Which goes to show how off she might be on current events.”
Palin Derangement Syndrome. It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Are you freaking kidding me? That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Her hair is out of date so her ideas are too? Just stupid.
Oh, I don’t think her is bad at all.
Man, if they want to have a fight over which vice-presidential candidate has the better hair, bring it on! Palin would hammer “Plugs” Biden like she would a wild moose.
Oh good grief….
Sniff Sniff… I smell F.E.A.R. on the dems…
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!

I think we have all the evidence we need. That tingle some journalists feel is the Yellow Journalism running down their leg.
All you can do is laugh!
Good grief…jealous much?
And I’m sure, what with raising 5 children, governing the largest state in the union and running for Vice President, she has all the time in the world to read the latest fashion mags.
/sarc.
FWIW, I thought she looked gorgeous and classy last night.
Seriously. Is this the best they have to offer?
If thats what they are saying, I’d take a bad hair day over Dumbo ears anyday….
This would be like Tila Tequila calling Sarah Palin a media whore.
Oh. Wait. That actually happened.
Wow. It wouldn’t have the same significance without Russo’s wisdom thrown in at the end, I can now sleep at night knowing he’s working hard to evaluate our future VP.
Show me a creek that shallow and I’ll wade through it without getting my toenails wet.
I said it before and I’ll say it again. I love her hair. In fact, in her honor, I’m going to try to copy that style today! Granted, my hair is not as long as it used to be but I have some room to work with.
Sarah has mad skills/experience and they are A.F.R.A.I.D.
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!
McCain/Palin 08′
Image: she’s H.o.t.
At least she HAS hair. And not plugs!
I am real concerned about what a gay barber thinks.
/sarc off
Yes. Sarah Palin lacks “substance” but the best the media can come up with to criticize her is…her hair.
Har. If they weren’t so dangerous and stupid, they’d be hilarious.
These people are so pathetic.
Ann Althouse has already pointed out that her hair — especially when it is pulled up — is strongly reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, particularly her role as “Holly Golightly.”
Now that the MSM has trashed her hair–maybe they should move on to her glasses. She is real enough to use glasses–not contact lenses. She looks like the real deal to me. I do not see any vanity here–she does what she likes.
John Bibb
Waiting now for Mr. Blackwell to nominate her for his annual “Worst-Dressed” list. Going for a Trifecta: worst choice, worst hair, worst clothes
(valley girl voice)
and Obama has Braces, that’s so 13 years old… lmao
silly silly democraps.
Unless she kept a jet idling on the tarmac while a stylist who charges a couple hundred dollars per session was brought in to do her hair, I could care less.
Sure.. let’s check with the hair stylist from Boston when we need to know more about Sarah Palin.
Next, can we can Sponge Bob Square Pants for his views on off shore drilling?
And what exactly is wrong with that? Audrey Hepburn was gorgeous in that film.
Ugh…the left just can’t stand the fact that conservatives have beautiful women on their side.
Is this guy one of the Obamessiah’s 300 advisors? Frankly, I would’t let a sylist come within hair blower’s distance to me. Neither would my wife. We’ve seen the abominations they create.
Sarah – just stick with that do. You don’t need the approval of elitist hairstylists : )
MCCAIN / PALIN ’08!
Mario Russo (salonmariorusso.com) looks like he combed his lettuce with a spoon.
This is like Barack Obama coming out and telling America he has more experience than Sarah Palin.
It’s like Joe Biden coming out and proposing that Iraq be divided into three nations: Shiite, Sunni and Kurd.
I think with a little digging, we’d find out that Mario was the one who collected $400 a pop for Silky’s coifs.
By the way, why is Obama attacking Palin on experience? Is he running for VP or the top prize? And was that urine running down his leg last night as Palin laid down the beating?
Not trying to be stereotypical here – but I’m generally not one to take male hair stylists too seriously.
My collie says:
Clearly her hair style is the “issue” obama keeps on telling us he wants to talk about….
My word, how pathetic. I wondered if they hired a reporter to write a story on the tale of Biden’s hair plugs?
At least she wasn’t wearing a pantsuit.
You can’t win with these people. Be it gorgeous pinned back dark hair or Ann Coulter’s long blond locks, either way they hate us.
Of course, Obama’s a smoker, too. That was also “so twenty years ago.”
Madrassa schoolyard, circa 1970: “Come on, Barry, all the cool kids are doing it. Take a drag!”
Just goes to show you how shallow the Democrats really are.
Someone made a comment about how the only reason the left is sliming her is because the right has done nothing but slimed the left candidates for the past 9 months….Whatever these people want to think is fine with me cause you know what? Our woman candidate, who is clearly a strong successful woman, can kick your girly men candidates anyday!! Take that for sliming.
I love that the media is terrified…and the more they try to make our gal look bad, the more people are going to support her. Hope and change? The Obama campaign is the same…ask President Gore and Kerry.
And Biden’s plugs give him “Cabbage Patch Kid” hair. So what does this have to do with helping Michelle Obama’s kids?
There. Fixed that fer ya’ No need to thank me. Just bein’ neighborly.
Now she is as relevant at Bob Beckel..
Ah, the drive bys. Continually showing their asses.
Well, we Conservatives can change our shoe styles, but what can Andrea Mitchell do about changing her face.
Personally – I prefer the “20 years out of date” look to the new rats nest, flea infested, “intentionally mussy” look these fruits inflict on our ladies – if they’re dumb enough to buy into it.
Any of you guys remember when you could run your fingers through your gals hair without getting snagged and greasy?
Sarah is REAL – she’s everywoman.
Most women I know can neither afford – nor take the time from raising a family and/or working to toss a few hundred bucks a week to some nitwit “hairstylist”, then leave looking like they need a good bath and hair wash again.
Anyone think maybe Mario’s been inhaling too much peroxide? What does the one have to do with the other?
Sarah’s done what any busy mom would; she finds a hairstyle that’s quick and easy so she can pay attention to the important things.
And Karl Marx is about 120 years out of date. So what’ your effin point?
John Edwards can be such a b1tch!
This guy should stick to doing hair and stop analyzing politics.
Sexist.
What kind of style is more appropriate? What are they smoking?
Surely the campaign can afford $400 or so to give the poor girl a cut. They should be careful though not to schedule it for a plane on the tarmac holding up air traffic. That’s bad.
I have been going through my bookmarks this morning, cutting off “news” sources that have crossed over the line from disagreement to ugly attacks. I won’t have much to read in future.
Palin went after her opponents with sarcasm wrapped around facts. So she is pilloried for “bad hair” and “shrillness.”
Go back to Osama Obama’s convention speech and you will find the same “shrill” attacks, except the “facts” are so thin as to be invisible.
Can we attack him for his hair? How about his color? That’s every bit as relevant as Palin’s gender.
The “media,” the “experts,” the “pundits” all say we know nothing about Palin. Except that she has a pregnant daughter, that is. Hell, we know nothing about Obama except what carefully managed fluff the media feeds us. What about Ayers? What about Rezko? What about Wright?
Those are issues far more important than Palin’s daughter.
Thanks to the Democrats and their willing media lap dogs, I now fear that we are headed inexorably for a new Civil War.
God save us.
Sarah Palin rocks fabulous in every sense of the word. And they HATE it…
At some point and time you’ve just got to look at this and say: “**** it, EMBRACE THE HATE”
These lame attacks just shows how disappointed they are in their picks for Vp and President candidates.
losers.
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!
McCain/Palin 08′
Image: Dems sucking thumbs and clinging to their blankies.
…because a hair stylist is who I turn to for all my info on current events!
What does one expect from people who thought the Thompson Twins’ hair was edgy?
Didnt realize we had a whole blog topic on this subject – reposting!
================================
OK here’s my one sexist comment
Can she change her eyewear to Librarian glasses for a couple of speeches? No one screws with a librarian either!
/sexist
(Nothing is wrong with her hair or her clothes or her shoes or her weight or her ‘anything else that doesnt matter’)
When are they going to start asking what designer suit Todd is wearing for his next public appearance?
Pathetic.
Grasping at straws instead of a liberal lifeline.
Being a true conservative, she won’t waste her money on high dollar stylists…….take heed Edwards.
Let’s stop responding to their silliness. We know we’re winning so just smile at the sad attempts to bash her.
I remember someone before she spoke saying she looked like a model for lens crafters or something.
Actually, I think she has a great collection of glasses. Elton John could take a lesson from this lady.
And as far as her hairstyle goes, she’s got the best head of hair in the race (including spouses and former candidates).
Advice to donkeys: Whatever you do, don’t panic. Republicans can sense fear.
Oops…too late.
The latest Democrat entitlement program: Guaranteed security blankets for all.
The Republican response: No thanks. We’ll continue to cling to our guns and religion.
Okay, I think this thing is done. If that’s what they’re reduced to then I believe Mrs McCain can start shopping for carpet, curtains, and wallpaper now.
Of course the elite metrosexuals hate her hair style; it’s a woman’s hair style!
No matter how much perfume they use, they can’t cover their FEAR!
There’s still plenty of mullets and Tonya Harding hair in the nation’s midsection. Working class folks who don’t spend their money on fancy hair or make-overs.
Keep making fun of them, dems. That’s a great strategy for a party that’s already taking its lumps for elitism.
Post hoc, ad hoc, strawman, bandwagon, generalizations, libelous slander and now, to complete their rhetoric of the ridiculous, the Democrats are reduced to adhominem attacks on her hair!
It’s like AJ said previously, the left is scared witless of Vice President-Elect Sarah Palin – and for good reason: she’s the epitome of the type of female they claim to represent, self-confident, capable, and self-made, yet work fervently to oppose at every opportunity because she got where she is without N.O.W. or the enaction of the E.R.A.
Way to go, Vice President Palin!
I sent a nice little letter to the Public Relations department of this salon, referencing this statement. I wonder if they’ll read it or if I’ll get a nasty email in return?
All the dogs in my neighborhood are howling; the raccoons are chattering & thrashing the persimmon trees, my pet iquana has shredded the potted plant–why?
The stench of the fear-laden pheromones that the liberals are spraying everywhere!
I think it’s pathetic to comment on someone’s hair.
Honestly, I don’t think we need to poke fun at Biden’s hair plugs. We are better than that.
You’re right corkie. Point taken.
The author of this article really should not be critical of anyone’s hair. If she wants to go there, perhaps she herself should undergo a makeover from her bleach blond 60s hairdo.
20 yrs out of date? hmmmmm seen a mirror lately?
Mario the hairdresser, is jealous because Mrs. Palin has real breast and a vagina. Something he probably wishes
shehe had.I hear whenever a moose sees that hair they wet themselves as they run for their lives.
The front page of the Boston Herald (.com) calls Palin a “snarling campaign pitbull”.
Pitbull is fair, but “snarling”? Snarling?
Those mean nasty Republicans again are attacking the media and a historic presidential candidate….
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID
With the industrial strength butt whoopin’ Sarah is handing her opponents while wearing “outdated” hair, Obama might just want to rethink a jheri curl.
Not that hairdressers are the intelligentsia, but to follow his “logic” a person who wears a tie-dyed t-shirt is probably not aware of current events.
I can’t believe someone got paid to write that trash.
I really don’t care what ‘do’ Sarah has. Any ‘do’ she has covers her more than intellegent crainal area.
L
Talk about out of date? KISS? They’re 30 years ago. Losers.
OT post
Rush is referring to McCain as “McBrilliant” for his choice of Sarah.
He’s got to be just as excited as we are.
They just hate “normal” people!
She wore a skirt, had her hair up and was wearing glass’s – Hasn’t been part of our problems in congress, Is part of the real world —- How can she possibly be qualified to lead.
OK, I’ve had it. I knew I shouldn’t have gone there, but I did.
On the home page of ABCNews.com (you now, the one that’s on Barack’s payroll), they have an article about how comedians, adult comedians mind you, are still making fun of teenager Bristol Palin.
If anyone that needs to grow up, it’s them.
Here’s the blood pressure rising article.
So now we’re down to taking the professional word of a Boston hair stylist where matters of state are concerned?
Un. Freakin’. Believeable.
Both the writer and the editor should be fired as that’s one of the DUMBEST things I’ve ever heard! Since what century have we looked to people in Boston for our cutting-edge hair styles (sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun). Was Nancy Pelosi’s hair dresser or Harry “I’m a shill” Reid’s barber unavailable for their highly knowledgeable insight? /sarc off
Personally, I thought her hair was nice, matched the rest of her outfit, and was no distraction at all to her speech. But then again, I trim what’s left of my hair with a goatee trimmer… what does that say about my politics, Mr. Russo?
If it’s someone they hate, it’s “out of date”. If it’s someone they love, it’s “retro”.
If our VP candidate is going to play with the Big Boys…and she seemed to know how to handle it well last night…we need to stop trying to coddle and protect her. It makes her seem weak.
Sarah Palin, fronting a Kiss cover band, would STILL have more executive experience than Barak Obama or Joe Biden!
Snort!
MeeeeOW! Someone’s catty today!
Oh Noes! It’s “Hairgate”!
Reading stuff such as this makes it easy to understand maybe why Ann Coulter jokingly regretted women getting the right to vote.
Honestly, she’s comfortable in her own skin, and doesn’t need to waste her time with fashion magazines. Let’s be honest: women who have the goods never have the worry much about hair or clothes. She can shave her head and wear a burlap sack for all I care.
It must really suck being a liberal today! I almost feel sorry for them.
Wait! I take that back. Please continue with the pummeling.
I think the bit with the hair is the same as wearing glasses in this era of lasik and contacts. She’s such a good looking woman, I think she’s playing down her looks somewhat to be taken more seriously. Of course, that isn’t a problem with people who have been exposed to her intellect, but it still is part of the first impression.
Puh-leeeeeeeze!
Moonshot,
WE aren’t the ones protecting her. WE are having a big ball o’ fun watching the MSM self-destruct while launching infantile attacks in the general direction of, what appears to be at this point, a good woman with a clean rap sheet. The less they find, the crazier they’ll get! All we need now is Dan Rather to show up waving a piece of paper while shouting, “Well she could be a lesbian, even if we can’t find any proof of it!”
Did it look last night like she needs OUR protection? Heck, we can’t even get the Media dorks/donks to concentrate long enough to bother to find out about that 100 million dollars Barak Obama handed out to Chicago schools. It’s the only “executive” experience on his resume fer gosh sakes!
Man, is it going to be fun to watch her wield the knife over the next 60 days!
Bring. It. On.
I don’t think anyone here feels sorry for Sarah. In fact, most of us think she’s as tough as nails. Any sympathy has mostly been directed at her family, especially her daughter.
Some inspiring, and positive words from the UK’s SUN:
Nice to hear something positive for a change, isn’t it?
Too bad it had to come from another country. I believe they’d love to have Sarah over there.
I guess the Brits recognize class. There is still hope for them.
Pretty Boy and Biden have been getting comments on their hair for years, none of it good.
Not to mention Hillary.
Obama and McCain may have the right approach: just get rid of it.
And you can bet that Robin Ghivan (she of Hillary’s cleavage fame, as well as the Roberts family fashion pan)will be weighing in this Sunday in the Post, so you might as well start getting offended now. (You know, she is a fashion writer. It would be odd for her not to have an opinion, just as its odd for readers to take it too seriously)
20 years out of date,as compared to someone like Helen Thomas who is 120 or so years out.They got punked,real bad.As aj says,”McCain/Palin 08′
Image: Dems sucking thumbs and clinging to their blankies.”
I believe the Brits actually have class. Instead of spending time trashing a teenage daughter, they actually spend time listening to the vice presidential nominee.
This idiot went beyond her hairdo. He equated it with her experience level. That’s the problem, especially coming from a hairstylist.
They are elitist, they don’t get that being an elitist isn’t a good thing. They think it makes them special…really because they just look and sound like “Clones” you could predict what they will say before they say it. Am I suprized they are remarking on Style not Substance? NO, I expect to hear more, about them making comments, of little consequence. They are in an echo chamber.
The Sun? That “paper” makes the National Inquirer look like the Economist.
I think they are just buttering her up so she’ll be one of her Page 3 Girls.
If you don’t know what that it, don’t google it at work.
her = their
People like that get their politics from E!, People, and US Weekly.
