From the Journal's piece on McCain's choice for vice president: "Striding out of [Palin's] downtown office with just a press aide and reporter in tow one June afternoon, a woman passing by pointed her finger at the distinctive-looking governor and said, 'Are you...? Oh my God! I like you, although I don't always agree with you.'"

"Distinctive-looking"? Why not "incredibly attractive"? That would be more accurate.
