Sarah Palin, Action Figure?

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin now joins the ranks of running mate John McCain and Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama with her own action figure, complete with glasses, trench coat, and bulging biceps, according to the Huffington Post.

The Sarah Palin action figure, created by Hero Builders, comes in three versions: standard, in a smart black business suit; "school girl," a more risqué approach, with high socks, short skirt, and red bra; and "superhero," with short skirt, long black trench coat, and thigh holster.

The six-year-old novelty company boasts more than 40 action figures, including such politicos as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Tony Blair, and President George Bush. (The Advocate)

GI Joe had a kung fu grip. Does the Sarah Palin action figure come with spring-loaded Genuine Moose-Killin' Action AR-15 and a free NRA-For-Life membership sticker? As to her (and her daughter) being of questionable maternal heritage...at least Sarah (and her daughter) actually has what it takes to keep a man interested in her more than once (look at Hillary: it's no wonder Bill cheated umpteen times! And compared to Bristol, Chelsea isn't winning any beauty contests anytime soon, either!). These democrats are all crying because their party leaders have more faith in an inexperienced black man than they do in a worn out bitter old white female who never had any hotness factor other than her flashes....
