Sarah Palin
As the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin electrified audiences with her straight talk and memorable quotes. Like this one, delivered at the Republican convention: "I love those hockey moms. You know what they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is? Lipstick." But Palin's signature bangs didn't serve her well during the campaign when it leaked that her hairdresser got $10,000 for "Communications Consulting" in the first half of October.
