Sarah Palin's legs
Update: Greg Mitchell at E&P picks up this post and improves it with video from the FoxNews morning show. (Although the Fox crew isn't nearly as incisive as this post.)
This is either proof that men run the AP or that Gov. Palin comes by her aversion of the media elite honestly.
Supporters watch as Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, legs visible in foreground, participate in a rally in Allentown, Pa., Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008
For some reason, AP photographer Gerald Herbert snapped this shot, and for, I guess, the same reason, AP sent it out.
He wasn't the only photographer interested in Palin's gams. So was Carlos Barria of Reuters.
But maybe it wasn't her legs as much as it was the young male supporter in the pink shirt!
Guess not.
It will be interesting to see if any newspapers run the photos. Incidentally, the AP didn't move any snaps of Joe Biden's legs. Thank goodness for small favors.
Update: Brian Cubbison says it's the shoes, not the legs.

I am more impressed with how she run the state of Alaska. She must also have brains and guts. Wonder if she ripped off 748 million dollars of school funds, are borrowed 680 million dollars without tax payers approval?
Must be nice to have beauty and brains.

she didn't need to rip off her own taxpayers, she ripped off the US taxpayers with the bridge to nowhere money, not to mention the other earmarks Alaska benefitted from.

Did anyone ever shoot Hillary Clinton's legs like this? Probably not. So why the 'shoe' (cough, cough) shots now?

They don't make a lens big enough to shoot Hillary's elephantine calves...

The second image you posted here is among the most-emailed and most-viewed photos at Yahoo.

Any photos of the zombie swooners from the angle of Obama's ass crack?

Goes right in line with Killian's BS as well.

Easy, Jaycee. Hill had calf-enhancement surgery done to try to keep Bill at bay. Let's be fair.

I think the first two were interesting shots if within a body of coverage.
