So, uh, yeah, Sarah Palin. And boobs. The question of implants was raised when Palin appeared at the Belmont Stakes in a white t-shirt looking fairly well-endowed. The Huffington Post has a did-she-or-didn’t-she poll going on, and the rumors are spreading like wildfire.
On the subject of rumors, here’s the “scoop” on from whence the story came. From Newsbusters:
The most recent symptom of Palin Derangement Syndrome has now been discovered in media members: speculating on whether or not the former Alaska governor has purchased breast implants.
The rumor started Tuesday on the liberal website Wonkette in a posting entitled, “Did Sarah Palin Buy Herself a Couple of Luxury Items?”
“We got a political news tip on our Facebook page from Wonkette operative ‘Laura,’” the piece began.
“And, having just now checked our tipster’s hunch with another woman (also, coincidentally, named ‘Laura’), we can report with confidence that at least two people with experience in having breasts say that Sarah Palin sure looks like she was trotting out some new work at the horse races on Sunday.”
Okay, it is no secret that I am not exactly a Sarah Palin fan—and my distaste with her has more to do with her feeling entitled to slam other women BECAUSE she’s a woman and her manipulation of her special needs baby and that sort of thing than with her politics. However, my bottom line on this particular “news” story is twofold:
1. No, I don’t think she got implants. I’ve looked at the pictures, and push-up bras are wonderful things. Also, different women gain weight in different areas (no, I’m not saying Sarah Palin is fat) … personally, my cup size fluctuates depending on my weight. So yeah, I think either of these possibilities are much more likely than implants. Even Sarah Palin Sarah Palin’s PR folks wouldn’t be that stupid. And tips via Facebook? Uh, yeah …
2. Even if I’m wrong on this (and I could very well be … stranger things have happened), who the hell cares? Sarah Palin has the right (and evidently the money) to augment her chest should she choose to do so. Leave her the hell alone about it.
I have very little respect for the vacuous Ms. Palin, but when a woman is given shit just because she’s a woman, it becomes a feminist issue … and those I respect deeply. (And yes, it’s hard for me to stand up for Sarah Palin, but the right thing to do is the right thing to do.)
So what do you think? Did Sarah Palin get implants? And, more importantly, does it even matter?

As far as I’m concerned,thats just two more reasons to vote for her!
I think that it doesn’t look like she’s wearing a push up bra..it looks like she isn’t wearing a bra at all. And no, it doesn’t matter if she got a boob job. She’s allowed to do whatever she wants with her own body. It doesn’t affect anyone else.
I think the pictures comparing “before” and “after”: namely, the red running jacket and the white t-shirt are pretty bad for comparison. Women with Cs or bigger tend to look bigger in white cotten t-shirts, and the jacket isn’t exactly showing them off. I don’t think she got implants, and, more importantly, I honestly don’t care.
Much as I dislike Palin, I think this fascination with the size of her tits is ridiculous and discredits the few things she does that are actually worthwhile of notice.
It looks to me like she did. But, it’s her body and politics or not, she can do whatever she pleases. It also doesn’t change my opinion of her, I still don’t like her.
looks like somebody got the new VS Bombshell bra
Interesting,I might buy one of those!
Hmmm…that’s actually a valid guess. That thing has like 2 inches of padding; it’s crazy! I was poking one earlier today…
I doubt it. I don’t care.
But I appreciate the reasonable tone to the article and the restraint from extra unnecessary bashing.
I do not like the word “tits”, don’t know why. There aren’t too many words that I don’t like….but this is one of them. I’m not just blabbering on, I guess I was wondering why I hate it. Any thoughts?
I am not a fan either, though don’t tend to make a thing about it. I don’t think anyone every says ‘tits’ if they mean something nice. It’s only used in a sexual manner, and seems a little loaded.
I think it’s usually used by college guys who are judging a female’s fuckability by her rack. It’s generally not used in a respectful manner.
I don’t think she got implants. She’s wearing a completely different outfit, is at different angles, and could have put on a couple pounds. Everyone’s breasts look small in a sports bra and huge in a push-up.
Maybe it’s just the rum talking but she does have a nice rack. Doesn’t look like implants though, and boobs are ALWAYS important, that is all.

I’m going to say this about Sarah,she may not come across as a blazing intellectual,but maybe thats a good thing. Maybe we need to be governed by someone with a bit more of commonality. She isn’t stupid,by any means. William F Buckley used to say he would rather be governed by the first 100 names in Boston phone book than the entire faculty of Harvard,and he was a brilliant dude. She can’t possibly fuck it up any worse.
