Sarah Palin: Miss Alaska Pageant Video

Sarah Palin, long before she was the GOP candidate for vice-president, long before she was the governor of Alaska, long before she was the mayor of whatever that town is called, long before she was a TV sports reporter, long before she was a mother or married, she was a beauty queen. She was in the Miss Alaska Pageant, and this is that pageant. Swimsuit edition.

Mind you, this is not a post of judgment. I'm not a hater of the beauty pageant. I can't say I've ever watched one, other than being forced by my wife to sit through Miss Congeniality, and wait, maybe I do hate pageants. That movie sucked. I digress. I don't believe that being a beauty queen in a life before kids and politics has anything to do with who she is now- although Todd Palin may disagree.

Here, in all her 1980ish glory is Sarah Palin, before she was a Palin:

Sarah Palin: Now She's a Racist?

Obviously I'm not impressed with the GOP choice of Sarah Palin. That's the burden of common sense. However, even I'm getting tired of writing about her.

The thing is, ours is to cover celebrity and parents and poke the fun. Sarah Palin, with all apologies to the Jolie-Pitts, is the most famous parent in the world right now and therefore warrants our attention. The constant soap opera that surrounds her is just too much to ignore. Too much.

Now there is a server at a Juneau restaurant claiming Governor Palin used racist and sexist terminology, loudly and publicly, in regard to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, respectively. From the LA Progressive:

According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.

What did she say, allegedly? “So Sambo beat the bitch!” Nice.

She may not win the vice presidency, but I wouldn't put Role Model of the Year out her reach just yet.
