Jay, I agree about, why did she pose for this picture if she didn't want herself seen like that? I didn't see anything wrong with a person in shorts. Maybe they could have been a little longer and looser. She is now saying that the picture was not suppose to be released for a year, so yes, she wanted the picture out there, just not at this moment...... I agree with Susan that women are disected by how they look and what they wear, all the time. Many magazines and TV shows make it a point to show what celeb is wearing what and to where. Guess what, they only do it to the women. I have yet to see photo and comment for what the men are wearing. Hillary has been the butt of many jokes for her clothing, pantsuits. I never seen a comment about what Bill was wearing, and that goes for all of them, not just the Clintons. Until people realize that women are people, not just some object to admire or pick apart, this will continue to happen.

Maybe she should pay more attention when posing for pictures instead. If she didn't want this photo out there, then she should have never put on those running shorts and posed for it in the first place. Rumor has it she doesn't "run" at all. Palin likes to play the victim card - after masterfully positioning herself as the victim. John McCain has created a monster that preys on pasty white, glowy eyed rednecks. Who is it that rally's around a manipulative, lying, hate filled quitter? More of the same I would imagine.
