Hollywood Everafter

Richard Roeper took a break from film commentary to try his hand at political commentary about John McCain’s running mate.

Roeper wrote of Sarah Palin’s “Suzanne Pleshette-circa-1975 attractiveness.”

The film critic noted that Palin’s biography makes her sound “more like a Hollywood star than a GOP poster figure.”

One of the things he focused on was Palin and her husband’s choice of names for their family of five.

“She has given her children names straight out of the Demi Moore-Tom Cruise-Bob Geldof playbook: Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig,” he wrote.

About the Alaska governor’s leisure activities of hunting and fishing, Roeper wrote, “Palin sounds like Ted Nugent with a uterus.”

He also found it “hard to believe that one female voter in this country would switch from the Obama ticket to the McCain camp just because of the Palin factor.”

Yep, and if you believe that one you believe that there’s no such thing as the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuit.
