I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch [SCHWING!] and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile.

Turn on, tune in, drop out. I'm trying to imagine how Norman Rockwell would have illustrated these scenes. Or better yet, Peter Max.
