Why does Sarah P wear glasses anyways? Wouldn't they fog up a lot

[Mind_your_head]

going in/out of door in Alaska? Kind of inconvenient, me thinks. Don't they have contacts or lasik up there?

Just wondering.

(Mods, I'm sure you'll move this - and please do - if I've put it in the wrong place)

Thanks for all you do at DU, btw! :-)

1. They make her look intelligent

:shrug:

[happygoluckytoyou]

3. Then WHY does she go and spoil it all by speaking?

16. BWAHAHAHAHA! n/t

[Mind_your_head]

4. Every little bit helps, I guess...... n/t

2. You don't wear glasses do you?

Glasses don't fog over if there is enough air circulating.

Unless you have goggles with no vents or you are sweating like a pig (with lipstick), your glasses won't fog over.

7. again with the PIG thing.... stop comparing PALIN to a PIG... the PIGs are getting pissed off

[Mind_your_head]

10. I DO wear glasses (and contacts too - though not together ;-) )

Glasses are a real pain in the rear in winter. They do fog up going in/out of doors and it's a real pain.

I'm guessing you don't wear glasses regularly or you don't live in an area with sub-freezing temperatures in winter.....but, whatever

[AzNick]

13. Well I do, but I'm farsighted...

I don't wear them all the time out doors, no, but I do wear goggles when I ride my bike and they fog over unless I'm moving.

I agree that those glasses are for show, there are plenty of pre-campaign photos of her without them.

I think it is to look more intelligent, but also look more attractive. Somehow women with glasses make some men tick (not me, I like boobs, but hey to each is own).

18. Hey, at least you're honest and you know what you like

Re: "I like boobs"

Nothing wrong with that!

[Lorien]

17. I wear glasses and contacts at the same time

I hate having to have glasses at all. I live in Florida, and they fog up every time I go in and out of air conditioned buildings. Plus, there's plain old vanity. I take them off whenever I can because most of us look better when we're not wearing them.

5. If she's like me in that respect, she probably doesn't like poking things in her eye

I've never been able to get over the creepy factor on that.

[happygoluckytoyou]

8. is this a reference to First Dude's business partner ? ?

[eridani]

22. Hey, get your mind out ot the gutter--

--and bring it on down here in the sewer with the rest of us. I meant contact lenses.

14. LOL

:rofl:

I really had to read that two-three times to make sure I was seeing/reading that correctly.

[ColbertWatcher]

15. Heh, heh. n/t

[uppityperson]

9. Many people, even in AK, prefer or can only wear glasses. Besides, they are supposed to make you

look more intelligent.

11. Republicans have no body heat - they're cold blooded

I see them laying in the sun pretending to get a tan but they need to warm their blood and digest the baby brains they just ate.

I think so.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. I wear glasses and you are making way too many misconceptions

I had trouble with them fogging when wearing fire gear... but under normal conditions no

[KitchenWitch]

19. I lived in Minnesota for 40 years, and I wore glasses the whole time

They only fog up coming indoors, but there are things you can treat your lenses with that ameliorate that effect.

I can only speak for myself, I found contact lenses to be utterly uncomfortable, I tried both hard and soft lenses. And because I have a slight astigmatism, the regular lenses really did not correct my vision properly.

As for Lasik, nobody, no how, is coming anywhere NEAR my eyes with either a scalpel or a laser. It is NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I know someone who had Lasik when it first came out, and the doctor fucked up his vision, he had to have it a second and third time. After that, he gave up and wears glasses. He has very little vision in one of his eyes as a result of the fuckups.

23. Make sure you check out the link at post #6

And I agree with you about the lasik surgery. I'm glad so many people are enjoying it's benefits, but it's not for me either - couldn't/ wouldn't want to do it.

20. Sarah Palin never could have been elected

Without her Tina Fey glasses.

[fishnfla]

21. maybe she wears glasses to help her see better

crizal lenses with the right rx will do that

[pointsoflight]

24. I read somewhere that they're not prescription...

...that she wears them just to look smarter and seem more professional. Who knows if that's true.
