Arlen Specter In New Book: Sarah Palin “Radiated Sensuality”


Some of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s political opponents enjoy pigeonholing her as a hot bimbo with no place in politics — but other people of different parties say she’s attractive and smart.

Former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), who raised some eyebrows when he left the Republican Party in 2009, holds such a view of the former vice presidential candidate. In an excerpt of his new book, Life Among the Cannibals, Specter mentions his first encounter with Palin, who had quite the personality:

“Still, she was a total charmer, very friendly. The few things she said were intelligent. We were sitting virtually knee to knee in the cramped bus, and she radiated sensuality. Her skirt rode above her knees — not exactly short, but close.”

I doubt you’ve ever worn a skirt before, Senator, but this occurrence is quite common and in no way indicative that a skirt is borderline skimpy. Besides, she was on an overcrowded bus and still managed to “radiate sensuality,” which I find rather impressive, as I cannot sit on a bus without vomiting within ten minutes.

Believe it or not, Palin isn’t the only person whose appearance is noted in Specter’s nonfiction work. He writes of the way Sen. John Thune looked during workouts:

“John Thune, who looked like a movie star in or out of clothes, was constantly stretching. His lanky body seemed to have some kinks to iron out.”

We don’t have our hands on the book, but hope the body descriptions are limited to these two passages.

    “Arlen Specter In New Book: Sarah Palin “Radiated Sensuality”

    What’s a little icky is that later in the book he says the same about Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

    That’s why he couldn’t figure out if he was a Republican or Democrat.  He was too busy undressing people with his hungry, hungry eyes.

    At the time of the encounter with Governor Palin, Senator Specter was almost 80 years old!  Sounds like the old geezer still had some life left in his loins if he found that she “radiated sensualitity.”  I wonder what he thinks of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann?

    Sounds like he should hang out with Ernest Borgnine.

    I think he’s just being a little too honest about Palin’s appeal to right wingers.  You want her.  That’s okay, just admit it’s about her looks and certainly not about her personality or “intelligence.”

    “I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her
    first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I
    think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she
    clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost
    mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and
    ricocheting around the living rooms of America.”

    To that ugly d**khead Specter, all women are sensual because he is a slimy pig, that probably had to beg for huggings all his life.. Your book ‘Life Among the Cannibals’ will not even sell 1500 copies and it has an appropiate title, for you are the cchieftain of the cannibals.

    Great post, Founders, and let’s not forget how Newsweek ran that photoshopped  picture of Palin wearing running shorts on its cover.

     Roger Ailes hired her because she thought she was hot–only later did he admit that she had no smarts.

    He’s 80 years old, all he’s got left is his imagination.  LOL  Usually it bugs the crap out of me when women are treated as eye candy in politics, usually as a way to marginalize an opponent.

    But as an old man of similar age once said to me when I was in my 20s and I objected to a rude gesture, ‘honey, I”m old but I’m not dead”.    I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t stay mad at him.

    Now the young ones with this sort of attitude, I don’t have any patience for.   If you let men get away with this because it’s your political opposition that is the target, that doesn’t say much for your integrity.  If you do it yourself, you might get a brief laugh, but you do it at the expense of progress for women.  /jmo

    …I’ll give Arlen a speck of credit and say that in her photos she had a pretty hot librarian thing going on, but once your curiosity made you watch footage of her, WOW NOT SO MUCH DONTYAKNOW

  • Cecelia

    The difference lies between a “rude gesture” directly made AT you and  a complimentary description in a book.  

    The only time I think it’s demeaning for someone (pol or not) to be called senuous or sexy is when the suggestion is that this is their chief asset.   Specter did not imply that with Palin.

    Arlen, at one time I liked you as a politician.  I am afraid that is past tense.  By the way, you don’t have the right to even mention Sarah Palin’s name.  She is so far ahead of you in every way.  I would also bet her I.Q. is higher than yours.  You need to find yourself a new hobby.  LOL

  • DamascusGate

    Sarah Palin. The hottest woman in politics today.

    Eat your heart out Pelosi. 

  • DamascusGate

    Sarah Palin.

    So hot, sensual, smart and intelligent the left can’t stand it.

    All that wonderful feminism built into one woman. One woman who is having it all. A husband, children, career, influence. Everything liberal feminists wanted for women, exemplified perfectly…..only in a Conservative woman and not a liberal woman.

    How dare Sarah be Conservative. And hot. And sensual. How dare she.   

  • tegeagent007

    Looks like he’d also like to undress John Thune. Freaky!!.

    You forgot quitter, loser, hater, self-absorbed, chicken head who wouldn’t run for president care about nothing but fame and money.
