There was a lil' bit of righteous feminine indignation over from this tent when Huffpost started carrying on about Sarah Palin's lipliner perhaps being of the permanent, cosmetic surgery variety. This is a dangerous road to go down, because it adds more fuel to the RNC's fire that Palin is being discriminated in the press because of her gender, which is an unfair accusation: the real reason Sarah Palin is being discriminated against is because she is terrible. Like, the worst.
But looks like all is fair in love and presidential races: guess which candidate is on the chopping block for perhaps adding a little Botox to his brow:

Celebrity rags are always ragging on famous ladies who get an (alleged) nip and/or a tuck. Well, now we’re giving it to a few of the men.
We’ll start with Thierry Mugler, who has done gone lost his mind.
Cynthia Nixon, denying rumors she got her breasts done after shooting Sex and the City: "We got a call from the [New York] Post (the paper that ran the story) asking if I'd had a breast augmentation, and my publicist laughed at them and said, 'No, of course not.' But they printed it anyway. If I was going to get a boob job, wouldn't it make sense that I'd get it before Sex and And the The City (the movie)?"
The problem with the term “beautiful girl” is that girls are rarely, if ever, beautiful. Girls are pretty and girls are cute — and that’s fine because there’s a time and place for cute (the age 16 and prom, respectively) — but they’re not beautiful. Women are beautiful. Women are sexy.
We’re reminded of how many people ignore that important distinction around this time every year: the lad mag “Hot List” season, when Maxim et al group together the names of every sad, drunk, Botoxed, sutured, bleached, commodified and infected girl in Hollywood and try to pretend the resultant stable has sex appeal. We’re sick of it, so we’ve compiled our own lineup of truly beautiful women.
Donda West, the woman who gave birth to Kanye West, who we all love, died following a tummy tuck last year. Knowing all the Freudian issues Kanye had, everyone was super sad for him, and blamed her plastic surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams. But it wasn't really his fault
A coroner report could not settle on a cause of death, and implies it was a combination of heart disease and post-surgery problems. As a precautionary measure, let’s make sure Dr. Jan Adams never practices medicine again.

Not surprisingly, the surgeon (who, as we now know, is no stranger to brushes with the law) is denying any/all wrongdoing. [Stereohyped]
