I watched 30 minutes or so while getting ready for work and the entire time, Lauer was giving her shit. Just constant digs and jabs. One such example: From Time
The little bit I caught was entertaining as hell, just because Lauer couldn’t even pretend to hide his absolute loathing of Palin.
For me, it’s all psychological. I don’t find her hot, but I do think Tina Fey and Julianne Moore are smokin’, smokin’ hot. And they aren’t really parodying her looks when they enact her - they really look like her. So it’s got to the bias I have - that bristling sensation when I recognize Sarah Palin is because of her proud, sunshiny ignorance-is-strength philosophy, and not because she’s objectively unattractive.
