Slog - Comments on Sarah Palin, Swimsuit Competition Edition http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/sarah_palin_swimsuit_competition_edition It took this long for video from the 1984 Miss Alaska Pageant to surface? Or did I miss it earlier? In any case, here it is, via Sullivan (and with a 50-second intro by some guy in Juneau who apparently keeps VHS tapes of such things). UPDATE: That first video was removed, so I've swapped it out with a new one:...

I'd like to skip the obvious technical possibilities here and go straight and headlong into a conspiracy theory.

The Obama/Biden smear monster has already moved to block the viewing of this. The fear is that, once the American people see Palin in a swimsuit, the race is over.

Geezer and Gidget 2008!

not that's even worthy of note (at all) next to her repugnant policies and views, mind you. i just don't understand why so many news stories seem to insinuate that.. are there actually people out there who find her attractive?

I beg to differ. Sarah Palin circa 1984 has a serious deficiency in the ass department, if you ask me.

jubilation was a damn lot closer to it when he said FAT ass..
so, ok, maybe it's somewhere in the middle.

but.. i'll be damned if i can see how this is beauty pageant material..

I have lots of reasons to not respect her; the fact that she paraded around in a swimsuit doesn't even hit the radar.

Yuck. When I bend a lady over, I'd like for there to be some nice meaty buns there, otherwise what's the point. But she definitely makes a better model than she would a candidate for national office. WF Buckley would never have approved of her. For VP that is.
