in what world is this woman good looking?
in the world of politics - where most people look like this:

Have you seen Fred Thompson's wife? Talk about cute!

Not as hot a Dennis Kucinich's wife but still...

That picture is actually a bit misleading as she's actually like a foot taller than him.
Palin is definitely an attractive woman, a bit Tina Fey-ish (with apologies to Miss Fey). Hot? If you're 50 and newly divorced then perhaps.
