So wait. Does this mean Sarah Palin is dirty hot?

Posted on September 12, 2008
I love Gina Gershon because she's dirty hot. But I've never thought of her as particularly entertaining from, you know, an acting standpoint. I mean, she was in Showgirls for fuck's sake. But she does a pretty decent Sarah Palin,...
