Please Sherry Palmer, (don't?) hurt me

Goddam but Sherry Palmer on 24 is hot. Penny Johnson Jerald was not this hot 10 years ago doing Larry Sanders. How does a 42 year old woman get to be unmistakably sexier than her 30 year old self?

OK, maybe it's the badass Lady Macbeth thing that makes her so desirable. But even in her prime evil Macbethness over the first two seasons she was never this hot. When Sherry Palmer walked into the room last night, I swear to Rand I about blew...uh, a gasket.

The sound of her voice and the rhythm of her talk make me want to hollar yee-haw so hard it would scare even Howard Dean. She gets a combination of feminine sensuality with an unmistakable tone of calculation and control. You can feel that urge to power.

I know better. If lightnining should strike and Sherry Palmer showed up on the farm, she'd kill me and eat me like a black widow spider.

But it'd still be worth it if I got some of that first.

    TV makes folks look taller. I saw her on that 24inside show and it surprised me how short she was.

    They have glamorized her more this year for sure - I think it's called a makeover, but she was TRYING to be appealing and seductive as well. That makes a big difference.

    I thought she was pretty hot on Larry Sanders.
