Face Values

Who would you choose? British MP Ann Widdecombe or

the lovely Sarah Palin

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that Republican VP Sarah Palin looks like one of those characters in a film who pulls a pin out of her hair, shakes her head, takes off her glasses and whose boss says: "But you're beautiful, Miss Jones?"

Do you think her stylist told her to put her hair up and glasses on to detract from her beauty queen image?

As you can see, I'm fascinated by the shallowness of American politics. Of course in England our female politicians look like Margaret Thatcher and Ann Widdicombe, so it's never been an issue....
