Palin's Sojourn as a Sportscaster (Video)
youtube via Washington Post ^

Video of Sarah Heath (now Palin) as a Sportscaster

... The online Obama backers are also just curious, trying to answer for themselves the question, "Who is Sarah Palin?" And so this morning in my inbox there was the above video clip, courtesy of "JoeJoeJoe," a frequent commenter on political blogs, that was earlier uploaded on the YouTube account of "barackobamaworld," a YouTube user who says she is based in Taiwan and is an "American Canadian and Taiwanese citizen" who is eligible to vote.

The video, of Palin (then Sarah Heath) as a sportscaster giving the news on the Iditarod and college basketball games, is neither here nor there politically. But it is of biographical interest, helping to fill in the picture of a life about which little is yet know. It shows that she has 20 years of familiarity with being in front of the camera -- which is more than many first term governors have -- and also that, like Obama, she knows her basketball. And also, like Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and millions of now middle-aged women, she once had herself some serious '80s hair.

Sarah has had quite a varied background. When this all comes out the RATS won’t know what hit them.

Confident, even in her younger years. I long for my youth, too. Also, in the late 70s, early 80s. Watch out for the LATE Boomers.

Looks as if the promoter is set up wrong. You can see her eyes moving back and forth more than usual. Fun video, though.

I’m 36 and happily married. Guilty pleasures include big haired girls from the 80’s, my youth. :-)

She did a good job as sportcaster. “Tommy Lasorda needs to relax” and in MLB spring training game “the fans ‘wave’ was weak but remember it’s only spring training”

very nice delivery

Reading some of the comments after watching the video I think it is clear that the Lefty Loonies are still tearing their hair out, wrenting their attire, falling on their face, donning sackcloth and ashes, and trembling.

All with good reason..

Now for some video of Obama in the 1980’s doing drugs. You know, for biographical purposes.
