Sarah Palin, Aristocrat?

"Aristocrat” has become such a pejorative term that I think Sarah Palin would be uncomfortable with it, but she’s definitely a natural.

Maybe politics will finally learn what business has learned a long time ago--there are women who are natural leaders, natural entrepreneurs (entrepreneuses, I guess), natural stars.

Tupperware, Mary Kay, Avon, and Pampered Chef have mined these talents for decades--taking “ordinary housewives” and unleashing their hidden talents. (I was a Pampered Chef “kitchen consultant” for a year and met some truly stellar women who’d come out of nowhere.)

Maybe it’s about time the rest of the world noticed it, too.
