Quite a funny little article in the Sunday Times about Sarah Palin being the subject of much male admiration

Not sure about that it tells the full story though.
'Nothing to do with her shooting moose, then? Nope: the attraction is basic and physical.'
It might actually have something to do with the moose hunting. Although Sarah Palin may not believe in evolution, maybe evolutionary psychology has something to add. According to the theory many impulses and behaviours are explained by being useful to our hunter gatherer ancestors through thousands of generations in the stone age.
In those days men home to bring home the bacon (or moose or whatever), the most successful being the ones being rewarded with the chance to pass on there genes with the pick of the attractive, fertile females. Now Governor Palin is widely considered attractive, and is certainly fertile. But better yet, she goes out in the freezing wastes and brings home the moose so you don't have to. From the cavemen point of view she's as good as Raquel Welch in 'One Million Years BC'.
But whereas Raquel talked the talk (or rather grunted the grunt), Palin walks the walk. Also when she gets home with the moose, there's noting for it but to snuggle up in the bearskin, (bear previously killed and skinned by the divine Sarah) and settle in for the six month Arctic winter night. And how are you going to pass the time, well scrabble hadn't yet been invented in the neolithic age, and would anyway be pretty boring with just the letters 'u' and 'g', so you have to use you imagination.
