    My Sarah Palin Crush

    I think I have a crush on Sarah Palin. She intrigues and intimidates me-two necessary ingredients for a crush. I admit, she could kick my ass.

    I think I have a crush on Sarah Palin. She intrigues and intimidates me-two necessary ingredients for a crush.

    I admit, she could kick my ass. But maybe that's what I need. She would provide the kind of structure I need.

    My mom sometimes mentions my check register. I haven't seen my check register in a long time. When I write checks, I just hope that they clear. No rhyme or reason to that strategy.

    I'm late to a lot of engagements. I over sleep my alarm clock quite often.

    I need to be whipped into shape.

    Sarah Palin is just the type of person who could do that to me.

    I must admit, while I don't like guns, Sarah suddenly looked hotter when I saw footage of her shooting a really intimidating firearm.

    One of the coolest things about Sarah Palin is that she has a backbone. I don't agree with all of her politics, but she does state what she believes and backs it up. She is willing to fight for it, and she's passionate about it. I rarely meet girls who are as passionate about things as she is.

    Sarah is successful at nearly anything she tries-which is a sexy characteristic.

    The best thing about Sarah Palin is that she is a hard worker. If I could somehow be married to her, "First Dude" would suit me well. Remember when I said I was too lazy to thrust my hips during sex? Well marrying Sarah Palin would allow me to live out my dream of sitting there. She obviously would make a lot of money, so we could buy a nice TV and all kinds of entertainment. I could just support Sarah, and just sit there looking pretty like a beta male with my alpha female when she came home.

    OK, so I can't have Sarah Palin, and I really don't like guns. But let me spell out how Sarah Palin does embody the type of woman I'd like to end up with.

    First of all, let's take a pretty girl and swap out that intimidating firearm in favor of a guitar.

    Let's keep the passion, the drive, the success and intelligence. And let's keep the ability to whip me into shape. Do I really need to bring something to the table? Can't I just be funny and look pretty when my dream girl gets home?

    Policies aside, I think Sarah Palin is a great example of a strong woman who does what she wants when she wants. Guys are attracted to women like this, though it is intimidating at first. But, like I said: intimidation and intrigue lead to a crush. Once the intimidation wears off and we see the soft side, we start to fall for her.

    What do you think of Sarah Palin as a female figurehead? Politics aside, do you agree that she sets a great example and exemplifies a powerful female personality? Do you have any political crushes?
