So I was watching tv tonight, watching John introduce Joe the No Show Plumber and I noticed something. It made me sit up a little straighter. I leaned a little closer to the tv.
Could it be? I wondered. Was I seeing things?
Then they showed the rally where Joe was finally there and I saw it clearly, and I was right.
Now I have never been much of a catty woman. Occasionally, I have been known to pick on another woman. Yes, it's an occasional weakness, I do admit and freely confess and ask for forgiveness for my wickedness.
I have called Cindy McCain a "Stepford Wife" (and if you've ever seen the movie Revenge of the Stepford Wives you might think this is an apt discription). But it was more out of pity than being malicious.
Another weakness I have is for reality TV. No, not Survivor (I had no idea who Elizabeth Hasselbeck was), my foils are "Project Runway," "Shear Genius," and "Top Chef." Which may explain why and how I saw this.
Yes, I sat up a little straighter, I leaned into the tv. . . but sparkles DID NOT bounce off the walls of my livingroom.
Did I really thee what I thawt I thaw?*
Cindy's hair cut/style is now exactly like Sarah Palin's.
The side sweeping fringe (bangs), the puffy retro 60s sex kitten do. They look like mirror images.
A mirror image, an artist's study.
As I said above, I pity Cindy more than I mean to pick on her. At a time when she should be setting her own style, distinct from Sarah's, a style that will be her stamp on the White House, should she be First Lady, she is aping Sarah Palin.
The psychological reasons she may be doing this are probably many. Or it may be that she just likes the hair style. A cigar may just be a cigar.
But I find it very sad, not in a snarky way, in a very sad, compassionate and empathetic way.
