Sarah seems happily oblivious that she benefited from Hollywood casting techniques. Just as movie directors have beautiful young actresses playing nuclear physicists and Harvard professors, knowing the fusion of sex appeal and a heavyweight profession will excite, the novelty of a beautiful former beauty queen and TV reporter cast in a powerful role that has featured dour, gray old men like Dick Cheney was thrilling. At first.Now, look at the photo of Maureen Dowd that accompanies her column. Compare to a much less glamorous more current photo of her at her Wikipedia entry. Hmm, is somebody else exploiting her (past) good looks?
As for the limited factual content of her column, Dowd writes:
Obama advisers say privately that the president truly respects the woman he ran against, and that they have a good relationship, so good it has even surprised Hillary. ... In a funny way, he’s the man of her dreams.It will be interesting to see how Hillary fares as Secretary of State, both in accomplishments and longevity. I have no insider information about her relationship with President Obama. But when "advisers" "privately" say something, hold on to your your wallet, it's usually just as reliable as information from people who say "trust me".
