I really do try to find something to like in everyone I encounter, but this one was a toughie.

My loathing of Sarah Palin was so well known, that during the election season, while all of my friends and family were sporting cool pro Obama attire… I was given an anti- Palin cap sleeve tee for my birthday!

Nice Toes!

But low and behold, only seven months after she and her grandpa were trounced on election night, I found something the crazy, Christian, gun toting, illiterate, hillbilly governor of Alaska and I have in common, our toes!!

Now let me be clear, I am not talking about the ugly coral colored polish with white dots on her big toe. I mean her toes themselves.

From this photo is it apparent that Ms. Palin has what is commonly referred to as Greek toes (as opposed to Egyptian toes where the big toe is longer) or Morton’s toe, named for American orthopedic surgeon Dudley Joy Morton (1884–1960).

Sarah Palin and I have the same toes. Her second toe is longer than her big toe! Common ground, finally.

Maybe there is hope for Obama’s non-partisan vision of America after all.

*Note- This is a distinction I also share with Kill Bill star and QT’s favorite toe fetish model, Uma Thurman. Mr Tarantino… I’m ready for my close-up!

UPDATE: I want to make it very clear, that my second toe is only VERY slightly longer than my big toe. Still, I feel that my chances of a second date with Diddy are slim.
