Question

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122057410046101771.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries

National paper. Written by a female.

Answer 1

means not many talking points

Answer 2

My guess would be she exercises something more than her mouth. Interesting comparison to Thatcher.

Answer 3

That she exercises and is in better condition?

(Who saw my Gerkin?)

Answer 4

Her angle seemed to be that Palin is younger and more attractive and less qualified than Hillary, thus Hillary must not be happy with John McCain making her the new female darling of politics.

But hip size, bone structure, has nothing to do with age.. and aren't wide hips, so long as their proportional to waist size, supposed to be a good attribute in women?

But it seems like a poorly written way of saying Palin's younger, more attractive, but less deserving than Hillary.

Answer 5

It means Hillary could take her in a fight.

Answer 6

Not much. Different body styles. Not politically relevant.

Answer 7

That could still mean some big hips!

Answer 8

She's trying to say that Palin is younger and hotter.

Answer 9

It means she is a Republican.

Answer 10

Palin has half the hipsize and also half the brain size.
