It's bad enough she's pirating Barack Obama's Pakistan strategy. Does she have to rip off a Democratic icon's fashion sense too?
The elbow sleeve jackets:
The big button blazers:
The trademark side part:
I know you're trying to shed your frumpy Alaskan frontier-wear image...

But you will never be Jackie. Jackie had class, a natural elegance that can't be learned in two months. She was brilliant in foreign policy, outshining her husband at state dinners and on trips to other nations. She never mispronounced a name because she made a point to study and learn each name in the accents of its native tongue. She believed it was a sign of respect.
"I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris."

Sarah Palin outlined her policy for Pakistan in a cheesesteak joint:
"It’s working with Zardari to make sure that we’re all working together to stop the guys from coming in over the border," Palin said. "And we’ll go from there."
Whereas Jackie hosted a dinner for the President of Pakistan in 1962, and he was so impressed he gave her a horse.
Jackie was an accomplished woman, but she was first and foremost a mother:
"If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much."
"There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all."
"Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it - but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together."
-Jackie
Sarah Palin decided to seek the second highest office in the nation while raising an infant with a disability, among four other children, one of whom is a pregnant minor.
Clearly no one expects Sarah Palin to be Jackie. All I'm asking is that she stop dressing like her.
Oh, and by the way, if John McCain could stop looking like Gollum, that would be great also.
