Is Sarah Palin hiding because she had plastic surgery? Not healing fast enough? Did they remove her ability to wink?
These are very funny speculations, but as a matter of fact, Sarah Palin is not a natural winker. She only winked during the vice presidential campaign. I've watched footage from before and after the campaign and noticed that she doesn't wink at all.
Which means she was advised to wink.

If she had plastic surgery, that's was a stupid idea. She looked quite OK for her age. I suspect she had too much botox at one point, as in the interview with Glenn Beck. But if she altered her looks for good, well... it will backfire.
Unless she had plastic surgery on her brains, it won't make any difference...
