If they are, Hillary is going to be arrested for indecent exposure. And she REALLY would need to stay out of the sun.

Reminds me of Barbara Bush's three strand faux pearl necklace.

Everyone has a signature.

the glasses are ugly

Rimless glass is as sad as a rimless ass.

Would we be scrutinizing a man's fashion this way? No. This is sexist. HOW DARE THEY!! HOW DARE THEY!!

/oh, wait...they were praising her. Never mind, it's OK!

farking sheep.

I would expect more women to opt for copying the glasses style of an attractive young woman than to adopt the pant suit style of an old biddy.

You Palin supporters are a personality cult.

Glasses make people look smarter, so I imagine Sarah looks like a puddle of protoplasmic goo without hers.

The only question I'd ask Palin about her glasses is this: "Hey, nice glasses. So why do you continue to claim you were against the 'Bridge to Nowhere' when you really didn't speak against it until it was clear that it was going to be killed anyway? By the way, nice glasses."

Hate...Media...So... Much

A story about Sarah Palin? But she's not doing any interviews! How can they come up with such quality material based on nothing?

The media has talked about Biden's hair plugs.

I would tell her to go back to her optometrist and have him get her glasses that allow her to see she is unfit for the position she is running for. Maybe some Morpheus ones that clip on the bridge of her nose.

Kill the media!

If McCain/Palin loses, will she do a Playboy spread??????

Ah, the fluffiest of fluff pieces. They used Downey to write up that article.

What? American glasses aren't good enough for her? Do they sell these at WalMart?

I can't read or write...

Hey nice glasses. By the way Gov Palin when you were mayor of Wassila what your intentions when you asked the town's llibrarian about banning books? But hey those are really nice glasses.

And they sell for $375, without the lenses. I don't know what vision insurance pays for $375 glasses. She's an elitist.

Its the masses obsession with the new face in town that driving it all. Add to that a simple flame is being fanned into an inferno by her intentional avoidance of the media.
Its getting out of hand.

None of it would be happening if Obama played his cards better.
With his popularity in a democratic year he could have won with almost anyone in the VP spot, and then he picks an old man with chronic foot in mouth disease.

Bleh.

I bet her vagina has teeth.

Time for me to take off my receptionist skirt and put on my Barbara Streisand in the Prince Of Tides ass-masking therapist pantsuit.

I wasn't trolling for anything. That's the truth. These farkers were total assholes about Democrats finding someone they actually wanted to vote for. They were crying that Dems weren't paying attention to the issues. Now they're falling all over themselves to talk about how great Palin is, without saying a word about her accomplishments or her politics - and now there's this Jackie Kennedy-esque fashion following. Makes me sick. But do I expect the Republicans to not be hypocrites? Ha. Ha. Ha. No.

That's sexist.

I hear Palin is a cunning hunter.

She will never be Jackie Kennedy. Not in style, certainly not in substance. I don't even know why anyone would write an article about someone's glasses. Say, when is that new article about Barack Obama's underwear hitting the interwebs? That should be fine reading.

Hey! Don't you dare knock her foreign policy experience!

Romney has magic underwear.

Why does Sarah Palin hate American eyeglass designers?

the thing is, there's nothing else we can talk about with regards to Palin. She is being held in a bunker for the next two weeks while she's taught neoconservative foreign and fiscal policy.

We're pretty much left to stuff like this so long as a state governor is being hidden from the press for a few weeks.

Is her total lack of qualifications the new Hillary cackle?

Are reporters 99% brain dead?

I'm outraged that the media is more or less letting this slide. They should be hounding the Republicans, demanding to know why they won't allow the media to talk to Sarah Palin.

Your "liberal media" at work.

What a vapid industry this "media" is.

Because nothing says smart and sophisticated like imitating something you saw on the boob tube. I think I see why ABC has been shut out of the presidential debates - they report crap and pass it off as news.

Hey if I had realized how big the librarian look was these days I would have set up a web cam focused on me reading a long time ago. $19.95 a month of nothing but hot page turning action!

Hawt but not rimless

What about Palin's bear-skin rugs? Or her hatred for Moose? PalinForAlaska.com

Thumbs down

What a ridiculous price for frames! I can find hand-made acetate frames (manufactured in France in the early 30's and never used) for under $50. Just as distinctive-looking and unique, but fiscally smarter.

Send her back home! She's still in training, horned rim glasses or not.

As an optician, I can say that rimless glasses sort of suck, from a structural point of view. They're delicate and a pain in the ass to repair. Most of the time, you simple can't repair them-- Once broken, they're done.

With that said, I've noticed a drop in patients looking at rimless glasses since Darth Palin's introduction as VP candidate. She's not making them cool... She's making them seem like the requisite uniform for a conniving politician.

Sorry, but NOBODY emulates politicians' fashion. They're the least fashionable people in the world.

Right now, titanium rectangular frames are all the rage with people over 30. Plastic rectangular frames are still very popular with people under 30. Half-frames are still popular with people (particularly older women) who only need prescription reading glasses.

And my prices are a LOT better than what I've seen in this thread thus far. If you people knew the actual cost for frames and lenses, and how much Pearl Vision, RX Optical, LensCrafters, and most of the other national chains mark them up, you'd feel sick.

Let's just say that the lab cost for the Transitions process isn't anywhere near triple digits, as Pearl Vision or LensCrafters would have you believe.

You're getting robbed... but they'd certainly bring the price down if they weren't blatantly gouging insurance companies.

whizbang: Hawt but not rimless

If she needed help with any rims, I'd be there for her.

GoodasGold: If McCain/Palin loses, will she do a Playboy spread??????

Larry Flynt is not opposed to driving several dump trucks of money to her front door....I'd bet we'll see her in Hustler first

/Of course she must lose for this to happen....American public, your mission is clear.
