Smyrna woman beat Palin in pageant

Smyrna’s Maryline Blackburn won the 1984 Miss Alaska beauty pageant. The second runner-up? Sarah Palin, nee Heath – the GOP’s vice-presidential nominee.
“My first impression was, ‘Oh my god, she’s gorgeous, she’ll probably be the one who wins,” Blackburn, a recording artist, recalled Monday afternoon.
Second impression?
“She had this look about her, this look in her eyes that tells you she’s calculating, figuring out ‘How am I going to win this competition,’ ” Blackburn said. “There was a determination there.”
And that became evident when she tripped you during the evening gown competition?
“No,” Blackburn laughed. “Sarah would never do anything like that. In pageants, there’s pettiness and the little claws come out. But if Sarah was anything like that, she hid it very well.”
Instead, the flute player from small town Wasilla, who was Miss Congeniality in the pageant, wrote Blackburn a lovely note on the back of a group photo at pageant’s end: “I do love you. You’re more admired than even you know. And please keep God Number One. He’s got great things for you, baby. Love, Sarah Heath.”

Little by little the truth comes out.
Media reported that when she didn’t win Sarah never said one word to the winner. Didn’t congratulate her.
Clearly Sarah’s heart is there for all to see.

We all know that Sarah Palin is a petty, nasty racist.
The GOP probably used some technology like the one in that Denzel movie to send a sweet note back in time in order to create plausible deniability.

"wrote Blackburn a lovely note on the back of a group photo at pageant’s end: “I do love you. You’re more admired than even you know. And please keep God Number One. He’s got great things for you, baby. Love, Sarah Heath.” NYT reports, Sarah palin was a lesbian in her youth!

Well, I’m not going to the web site, but the little bit here seems to indicate a nice relationship.

She is a lovely young lady and I like she quickly zotted the medias attempt to say Palin cheated. Good interview.

Very suprising, esp from this paper. The editor must still be out on a long weekend binge.
