Sarah Palin runs half-marathon incognito in Iowa
L. A. Times ^ | 9/4/11 | Robin Abcarian

Doug Adams, the former potato chip salesman who founded the Iowans4Palin website last year, was asleep Sunday morning at home in Storm Lake, Iowa, when his wife, Diane, woke him up with a panicky phone call.

“She was squealing,” Adams said Sunday night. “I was kinda scared.”

Diane told him to get down to the lake post-haste. Sarah and Todd Palin were there, and Sarah was about to run the half-marathon. Diane had risen early to walk the course.

Adams thought his wife was joking at first, since they had just returned the night before from Indianola, more than 150 miles from Storm Lake, where they’d trekked to watch Palin’s "tea party" speech Saturday afternoon. On Friday, they’d also attended a Conservatives4Palin meetup in Urbandale, where the Palins made a surprise visit. At both events, though, the Adamses were pretty disappointed that they’d been unable to get through the crowds to meet the former Alaska governor.

“Gawd, she’s HOT!”

I was going to post the same thing, but figured I would be labeled a sexist.

My wife’s hotter. I confess I saw her in church this morning and had lust in my heart.
