Henry Payne at the Detroit News notes that the voters of Michign
There were two contestants, because…:
The poll comes in the wake of Governor Granholm’s joke at last weekend’s Gridiron Club dinner that her Alaska peer, and former vice presidential candidate, “really set back the cause of hot governors.”
That’d be Jennifer Granholm…:
…who’s a tax ‘n spend liberal who has the Detroit, the calamitous Michigan state budget, and (judging by the photo) messiah complex to show for it…
…and Sarah Palin…:
… whom the relevant authorities have measured at a whopping 955 milihelens, and who damn near made John McCain palatable.
Oh, what do you think?
Part A of our poll asked who’s hottest, and the Belle of Alaska won in a landslide, polling 7:1 hotter over the Lansing beauty.
And you know what they say. As goes Lansing, so goes…
…well, I don’t know what they say. But speaking of which:
Part B asked “What should be Palin’s come-back line?”

Vox populi, vox dei.
UPDATE: Yes, Mr. Emailer, I could have called it “Hot Governor Friday”. My bad.

Yeah, no question. Palin’s hot, Granholm’s not.
“I can see Ontario from my house!”
Wow, he does make sense every now & again.
What kind of complex must Grand(dma)holm have to not only think she’s hot, but to then publicly say so?
Probably the same complex that allows her to see the results of her policy & still think she’s on the right track.
She’s a pleasant enough looking woman, but hot?!?!?! Certainly not on the Palin scale.
[Paraphrasing a repeated line from “The Castle”]
Tell her she’s dreaming.
Hot Governor Friday? You would have to get pictures of them in bikinis (or less). The would also have to be an automatic exemption for Haley Barbour.
Palin’s hot, but there’s something about a broken phallus over the shoulder that just doesn’t do it for me.
It ain’t broken, Yoss… just not primed and loaded.
She’s got her hand on it, though. Ready for action.
It’s break action, so nyahhhhh!
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
By the way, wingnuts, what happened to the big wedding we were promised between Sarah’s slutty daughter Bristol and that high-school dropout dude? They sure looked like a happy couple at the Republican convention last summer.
This obsession you lefties have with Palin’s family is unseemly, AC. Perhaps you might want to visit Andrew Sullivan’s site. He has written many posts on just this topic.
Gee Terry, thanks but no thanks to that invitation. Seems to me your argument was weakened somewhat when the Republicans cleaned poor Levi up, put him in his first-ever suit and flew him in a private jet from Wasila to St. Paul so they could turn the Republican National Convention into a shotgun engagement party. Also, when you prattle on about family values as much as you far-right kooks do, don’t you think it’s a little disingenuous to whine cause somebody checks up on whether you practice what you preach?
Excuse me, angryclown, but exactly how does the actions of one young woman reflect on the Republican Party?
I’ll agree with you that “family values” prattling is simply that, but it certainly isn’t limited to one party. It is synonymous with “good values”, and neither tell exactly what those values are. Absolutely useless.
You can talk about “Bristol” all you want, but please do expect to get lumped in with the other sick freaks who think this topic is _really_ important in American politics. You will deserve it.
