Sarah Palin declines offer to model for Weatherproof

*
Sarah Palin has said, "No, thanks" to an offer made by outdoor clothing brand Weatherproof to be the new high-profile face for its "A leader in style" advertising campaign, according to the CNN Political Ticker. The clothier acquired the rights to an AP photo of President Obama wearing a Weatherproof jacket, but never asked permission from the White House to use the image. When it appeared on a billboard in New York last month Obama aides demanded that it be removed.

Weatherproof, in hopes of replacing Obama's image with that of Governor Palin, who has also been photographed in a Weatherproof jacket, asked the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate to be its model, but the governor's attorney told CNN that she is not interested.
