Sarah Palin posed for a photo spread in Vogue, but that's about as far as the glamour goes. She piles her hair up in a librarian's bun and wears what she calls "schoolmarm" glasses (one blogger compared her to "Tina Fey's sexier sister"). She was at one time a beauty queen, Miss Wasilla 1984, in her hometown, population: 7,000 or so. "We were really surprised when she wanted to do it," her father, Chuck, told the Vogue reporter. "That wasn't her thing." Basketball and hunting were more like it. Palin regretted the whole beauty pageant experience. "They made us line up in bathing suits and turn our backs so the male judges could look at our butts. I couldn't believe it!" she told Vogue.
She tried being a sportscaster for a while, but ended up as a politician, or rather an anti-politician. She seemed to love to take on the good ole boys, to get in the face of the state's Republican political establishment and Big Oil, the two dominant forces in Alaska, at least until Palin came along. She smiles a lot and has a thick skin, laughing off reporters who write about her black go-go boots or leering bloggers, like the Washington, D.C.-based Wonkette, which dubbed her "the hottest governor in all 50 states."

“I never ate beef till I was over 18. 10,000 wolves can’t be wrong, eat moose.”
I see you are up to your usual wit - 10,000 wolves can’t be wrong ;-) ;-) ;-)
Ingrid Newkirk won’t forgive you for that one. /sarc off
Sometime before noon on Friday, over an hour before noon in fact, I heard someone say about Palin vs. Biden something like, “Her answers will take 30 seconds, will answer the question, and you’ll understand what she said. His answers will take 15 minutes, won’t remotely address the question and you won’t have any idea what he said... besides that, you’ll have to cut him off or he’ll keep talking!”
Possibly Glen Beck.
“Which would you rather read, the adventures of Sarah Palin, bear hunter, or yet another piece of empty Obama worship?”
You don’t think the commute from Wilmington to DC is exciting?
VEGETARIAN—OLD INDIAN WORD FOR “BAD HUNTER.”
LOL...
That is a bumper sticker I sure could use!
The more I hear about Sarah palin, the MORE I like her, the complete opposite of Obama.
