My Guv’s Prettier Than Your Guv

From Tammy Swafford’s blog:

“I recently picked up the February issue of the magazine “Vogue” at my local newsstand. The glossy ad-filled pages are not my usual choice of reading material, but this month’s issue features an interview with the glamorous governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. This woman is down-to-earth enough to wear bunny boots, but she also could have been one of Hef’s bunnies. The editors must have thought so, too, but still requested that she remove her trademark eyeglasses for the photo shoot. Sometimes I don’t understand fashion. I think her glasses add to her appearance, but what do I know? She’s an attractive woman, either way. Like anyone in politics, and in other professions, I believe there are different aspects of the human personality that allow us to function in the many facets of our lives. In this instance, we’re talking about Sarah, the family-oriented wilderness woman, and Palin, the no-nonsense, fair-minded businesswoman.

Sarah represents the true spirit of Alaska. The only pedigree she lacks is that she wasn’t born here, but you’d never know it. She is an outdoorsy, grounded gal who enjoys both seasons of our state, summer and winter. “Rugged” is a term that brings to mind Davy Crockett or the Bounty lumberjack, not a stylish woman with a glimmering smile. Let me tell you, there are many Alaskan women who enjoy hunting, fishing (including commercial fishing) and winter sports, but few who enjoy these
activities with the gusto and good style that our Sarah models.”
