The Difference Between Sarah Palin and a Pit Bull? A Big-Money Cosmetics Deal!

sarah palin cosmetics deal?

Can you see Russia from your makeup bag? Photo: AP

It's hard to fathom that it's been just over a year since former Alaskan governor/VP hopeful Sarah Palin was unleashed on the world.

Because now she's everywhere - including, possibly, on your lips.

You see, there's a pretty little rumor running around the beauty industry that Palin's agents are seeking a cosmetics deal. Page Six reports that the Palin crew may be attempting to capitalize on her infamous joke about the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom. (Lipstick. Har har.)

But have they forgotten about that other lipstick reference from the campaign? You can put lipstick on a pig...

Anyhoo, if this rumor is true we think Palin is opening the door for more rampant media scrutiny and gratuitous swine jokes.

Vote in the poll below and tell us what you think: Will Palin rear her head into beauty industry airspace, or is this idea her own personal bridge to nowhere?

Why is everyone so eager to jump on Sarah Palin ? (no pun intended) Could it be the liberal establishment is scared ?? I don't care if she runs for an office again or not but I think all should lay off her, especially her family.

When you put yourself in the spotlight, then you're putting yourself out there to be scrutinized. No one MADE her do it, she did it herself. The woman is money hungry.

Regarding the children, I agree they are off limits; however, once again, SHE paraded them around like little trained circus acts.

No sympathy for her; remember, you reap what you sow.

Scared?? No. Disgusted? Absolutely. Why? Because she's uninformed, uneducated (communications degree?? She can't even speak in full sentences...if I were her parents I would ask for all that tuition to be refunded), provincial (ok, so she's the governor of Alaska, big deal...there are more people in NYC then her entire state), and her unwarranted sense of entitlement makes her think she should be treated differently than any other candidate or public figure (if you don't want people to talk about your kids don't parade them or their baby-daddy around on national TV). If she's so tough, why did little Miss Pitbull cut and run? I would rather my lips fall off then to buy any product associated with the likes of her. She can live off the kick-backs from her Big Oil buddies. She doesn't need my $$$$$.

I don't know about the Liberal Establishment, but whats scary is Conservatives look at her as their Savior. She has no great insight or knowledge of the issues. She's totally out of touch. But most Republicans are anyway so there you have it.

I'd like to suggest some names for the lipstick shades - like "Air-Hunted-Wolves Blood Red", or "Chased-to-Death-Caribou-Blood Hot Pink", "Helicopter-Chase Neutral", or maybe the just perfect shade "Brutal Sarah Scarlet".There is no escaping from this woman - she is everywhere - would someone just keep her home, make her take care of her family and just look at Russia?

Sarah Pahlin will be around for as long as certain pundits and politicians need her as their mouthpiece. She will say anything the Republicans tell her to say, so perhaps lipstick is something she can relate to easily. As far as lipstick colors go, a brown color would be more appropriate in this case. I'm sure Rush will take her under his huge wing and teach her the real meaning of a mouthpiece.

Susan,
The post you made intimates your have one of the following:
1. BS Degree in Engineering
2. Law Degree
3 Masters Degree
4. PHd
Anything above BS in Communications. (fyi, this thought process is elitist)

One would assume a person so well educated and knowledgeable would spend their time enriching their mind.

The dichotomy is that you are reading the Stylist?
You are a clear and present danger to this nations values. Please note, in just 300 years the US has (become) :
The most generous nation in the history of the planet
The most technologically advanced nation in the history of the planet
The best place for an individual to recognize their potential.

One must remember that her Bachelor's in Communications took her, what is it, five years and six schools? Or is it six schools in five years? Regardless, I have a BS, an MSW and JD, so I AM an elitist who is entitled to look disfavorably upon someone who can't even complete one degree in an appropriate amount of time and with a reasaonble (e.g., less that two) number of schools.

The only thing Palin could do to save her reputation at all would be to head to Harvard or Yale or Sanford and get some degree in international affairs or a related field. Then she MIGHT have SOME credibility. Until she does that, she's just a fraud.

I personally like Sarah Palin. Obviously the liberals don't and I find that refreshing. They are scared to death of this woman.

Silly children. We thinking Americans are just disgusted with the low-bar you all set for yourselves and for the rest of us. Palin is demonstrably not bright, is undereducated, uninformed, and has nothing but snark to serve to you and the rest of the world. Eat up! While you all are thinking she's delicious and has something of substance to contribute, the rest of us are rolling our eyes at your gullibility. It's a sad indictment of YOU that you cannot see that this woman is not ever going to ready to lead. She can't even keep a job, stay out of investigation, tend to her own home or keep a cohesive thought in her mind. Admire if you want. But don't try to hoist her on us again. You'll just find out what all the rest of us already know. This woman stands for EVERYTHING that is wrong with our country.

Scared to death of her...NO. Tied of hearing or seeing her...YES. McCain's campaign scripted her and when she cut loose of them she made a complete fool of herself by not knowing what she was talking about. If anything I feel pity for her for being used by McCain's campaign. She wasn't ready for big time politics or the fame that followed, letting it go to her head at the expense of her family.

All of you jealous women need to respect the 3rd best women in politics following the great Condy Rice, and the sexy Michelle Malkin, she would make a good senator, or even a good cabinet posistion in the Romney/Jindal 2012 ticket.

The Left deemed her an unimportant political figure, but they sure do get upset whenever she is mentioned.

What exactly is wrong with her making some money from a book and a cosmetic line? She is not taking advantage of anyone. Leave her alone!!

Do you even know what a governor does? She had more executive responsibilities and experience than Obama before he came into office.

She managed a multi- BILLION dollar budget. It may be the least populated state, but don't underestimate one's gubernatorial responsibilities.


And before you assume I'm a republican, think again...I voted for Clinton. I think for myself and you clearly do not. The pundits on the Left bashed this woman and you are just re-iterating
what they have said about her.

I don't want her as my President, but I think she is a nice lady and she means well.

I equally hated how the right diminished Obama's experience as a community organiser.
