Sarah Palin Bikini Photos Are Fake
The Improper ^ | 8 Sep 08 | Samantha Chang

Posted on 09/08/2008 2:57:45 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has kicked up a media firestorm since John McCain announced she would be his vice presidential running mate.

In the two weeks since the announcement, Palin, 44, has been attacked for being a bad mom, an inexperienced bimbo and a vapid ex-beauty contestant.

Many people have also been frantically searching the Internet for sexy photos of Sarah Palin, and apparently hit pay dirt when saucy photos of Palin toting a rifle wearing a star-spangled bikini were uncovered. However, those photos--like the rumors that Palin's son Trig is actually her grandson--are fake.

Whether you agree with Palin's politics or not (personally, I don't), attacking her teenage daughter and mothering skills and manufacturing sexist images in order to undermine her credibility is a transparent attack on her gender. Sadly, we as a country just can't move past our prejudices. On the other hand, is this any worse than the New Yorker magazine cover which featured Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as gun-toting Muslim terrorists? Here's a novel idea: Let's just stick to the issues.

Thank you for the head pats. : )

TigersEye...
I'm not Catholic...but I suspect that sort of admission in the
confessional will probably be worth about $100 in the plate
and 100 Hail-Marys.

BUT...don't feel bad.
I just heard Glenn Beck (on TV) ask an associate of Palin
(in Alaska) if Palin has voiced any comment about guys calling her
"The Hottest Governor from The Coldest State".

The long-time associate tried to stay calm, professional and
non-committal about any sort of comment from Palin on the topic.

I will contemplate the appropriate penance for that and submit it during the next FReepathon. ; )

I'll bet the presence of Todd Palin keeps Alaskan guys a bit more respectful than journalists in the lower 48 are.

THANK YOU for posting this. I kept getting this (and the other one with her in a blue shirt, mini skirt and heels) and KNEW they were fake, but needed a source/citation.

Thanks. I didn't even want to post it, but when I heard all the e-mails and people who believed it, I had to.

I don't see much of a problem with ANY of this! (Maybe a bonus - she's shooting spotted owl.)
