Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution – Week #31
Thursday, August 4th, 2011Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #31 puzzle:
| Week #31 | |
| Category: | Politics |
| Difficulty: | Medium |
| Clue: | These two ladies have relied on their vocal and visual abilities to advance their political careers (sort of…) |
| Answer: | |
 | |
 |  |
| The most interesting thing I can think of saying about both Sarah Palin and Nancy Pelosi at this point is that they were both much more relevant to our national political discussion when I created this picture than they are now. Is that a good thing? Well, I’m guessing just about everyone thinks it is for one of them, and not the other… | |
