A committee of six decided on the Vancouver Mayor's next eyewear
Sex sells, or so they tell me. But does "sexy" have a place in politics? Think about the reaction to Sarah Palin when she first strutted on stage in those red haute couture dresses, expensive high heels and the beauty parlour treatment. Oh, and let's not forget the costly designer eyewear. She sent GOP hearts a racin'. Men wanted her, women wanted to be her. Palin exuded self-confidence, and she could really deliver all the party's favourite talking points.
And you know what? She might be president in 2012, thus confirming everything you've heard about that apocalyptic point on the Gregorian calendar.
How will Palin get to the top job? It won't be on smarts, or her strength on policy. It won't be because of her vision for the future. Palin will be president because of money, moxy and a carefully managed public image. Moving forward you won't see anymore chicken beheadings or her pulling fishing nets with chest waders hiked up to her armpits.
Recently I heard that a committee of about six weighed in on an executive decision as to which eyewear Gregor Robertson will sport moving forward. You see, Gregor has a bit of a reputation for being an intellectual lightweight. However, the right eyewear can potentially add several points to someone's IQ. Which is why Gregor's latest choice of bifocals makes him look like reporter Clark Kent.
