And again I ask, who is the Celebrity Now?

September 13th, 2008

From the Wall Street Journal:

Fashion companies have discovered a lucrative new marketing vehicle: Sarah Palin.

Since John McCain chose her last month as his running mate, Gov. Palin’s personal style has sparked a buying frenzy. Many women are snapping up her choices of shoes and eyeglasses and blogging about which brand of lipstick she wears. Hairstylists and wig sellers report sudden demand for her trademark up-dos. Indeed, the brands behind Gov. Palin’s fashion taste have gone into overdrive seeking to cash in on the association.

If you hop over to The New York Times, in Bob Herbert’s column, you’ll find evidence that this celebrity may be intelligent enough, but she doesn’t have what it takes to lead our nation.  Herbert says she may have traits that would suit her well in the American Idol contest, but she’s a reckless choice for Vice President.
