If they could I am sure they would- but blotting out her face and not mentioning her name is the next best thing. I wonder if the name Tzipi will be banned?
So I wonder what is going to happen if Sarah Palin becomes the next vice president. Will the frummies blot out her face like they are doing to Tzipi Livni in Israel. After all Sarah Palin is way hotter then Tzipi Livni!
Thats right folks, regardless of the fact that she is not quite a looker Tzipi Livni will be blocked out from Charedi newspapers, and they won’t even mention her name- because- its Untznius. I wish the Charedim would re-make that battle cry scene from Braveheart and they can yell Untznius as they all go into battle with the dark forces.
Funny because a majority of the Charedim are all about Sarah Palin, in fact most orthodox Jews I speak to are madly in love with her policies, and her figure. I mean who on earth can stand more then a glance at Condi Rice, or Hillary, but now we frummies can look at a decent looking woman and have a good excuse for doing so- instead of getting our weekly glances while doing neck roles in the direction of the mechitza. Don’t get me wrong the Bush daughters are hot, but like cheerleaders at football games you never get more then a commercial break glance.
So I wonder if the Yated or Hamodia papers in America will publish Sarah Palins name or picture? Both papers have no pictures of women in them- which I have no problems with by the way. I do wonder how on earth these frummies can support a candidate who clearly violates the laws of tznius in public. I saw her getting all touchy with John McCain, and if we don’t have standards, who’s to say that a lack of shomer negia on Sarah Palins part will not lead to oval office improprieties.
If Bill Clinton who is younger and way hunkier the John McCain couldn’t resist a large annoying intern, what’s to say that a much older and less cooler John McCain will be able to resist the much younger and better looking vice president.
You know what would be a really cool scandal?
If McCain and Palin had a child together while they were in office. That would be better then every Ricki Lake and Jerry Springer episode combined. But seriously, how can orthodox Jews support an untznius woman for office, where is the heter in supporting someone who they will have to look at on newspaper covers and on television for the next bunch of years. At least Obama’s wife is somewhat frum because she covers her hair some of the time.
I wonder if Tzipi Livni put a turban and bulletproof stockings on- would they then show her picture. Don’t candidates do that sort of thing anyway, kind of like Obama throwing that yarmulke on at the kotel. So Prime Minister Livni can rock the turban and shoulder padded shabbos robe for a visit to Geula.

ha u admitted it: ‘now WE frummies can look at a decent looking woman and have a good excuse for doing so,’ UR ONE OF THEM!
also I can awnser atleast one of ur questions: the yated and hamodia in america will definitely not post their pics, but will post thier names
what did they do for golda meir?
I took a deposition today of a spanish woman in a car accident. The professional attorneys did not stop staring at her chest.
I agree with the papers for not posting pics of Palin.
Shua…according to the article I read the Hamodia used Golda’s name. The “reason” given was that she was a political fixture in Israel for so many years.
The funny reason is that she looked like a man.
The real reason is probably our absurd jerk to the right.
I doubt McCain father kids anymore, he looks way past retirement age to me. Fuuny thing is when you break down the name MC Cain he sounds likes Kayin became a rapper or something.
Anyway, Palin is to young to be his VP, although they make an odd couple just like Obama and his VP candidate.
I don’t think they should ban her pics if she is properly dressed, or maybe just do head shots.
I think Golda was before the knee-jerk silliness of not picturing women, but then so was Indira Ghandi and for them, you really aren’t in danger of people ogling.
Seriously, Sarah Palin’s husband is much better looking than John McCain.
Palin is an isha tznuya. Halevai our girls would dress like her [not referring to her pageant pictures.] None of this pant suit nonsense – she is a professional woman and she dresses the part. She doesn’t feel the need to dress like man.
Yes, very interesting; I also noticed that I haven’t seen Palin even once in a pantsuit. She dresses pretty tziusdik (I hate that word: it’s b’ofen tzanua!) However, when she’s running (her regimen 3 days a week), she wears clothes appropriate to running: not a long skirt or a straight skirt (can’t run in that, can you), but running shorts and a sweatshirt.
I was never one to go horseback riding in a skirt, nor did I try to learn how to ski in one. (I still can’t ski).
The clothing has to be appropriate for the activity; women wearing dresses and skirts all the time, can’t do much of anything other than cooking cleaning or working in an office.
Have you ever tried bungee-jumping in a skirt, for gosh sakes? It’s the most un-tzni’ut thing ever!
Ugh these people tick me off something fierce. I love your scandal idea, that would be one for the record books.
For being un-Tznius or not, Tzipi’s photo and name should be banned because of all the damage she has done and will continue to inflict on Israel. B”H Bibi should win a real election, a national mandate. Very funny post, though!
This week’s yated (p. 61) has a picture of the Chofetz Chaim sitting outside of his house in Radin. The women in the picture have their faces scrambled by the Yated. I guess they are Frummer than the Chofetz Chaim
Bashers, bashers, bashers. Have fun criticizing everyone else while you think you’re perfect. I wrote a long comment on this over at FKM. Feel free to read.
