Wokka wokka.Thank you, loyal readers, for sending us a few thousand tips about this YouTube video of Sarah Palin walking on a beauty-pageant stage in a very ’80s, unflattering one-piece. We are not posting it here because HALF THE CLIP IS SOME GUY TALKING ABOUT HOW HE HAS THIS VIDEOTAPE. OH THAT ONE IS REMOVED BY USER. (Okay, we’ll post the pure-beauty walk video after the jump.) And now we must prepare for our live coast-to-coast Mississippi debate pre-coverage, coverage, and post-coverage, so go ahead and watch this video for the next couple of hours, again and again. (Also thanks for the “McCain Wins Debate” ad tips; yeah dudes we got that at like dawn today, here, check it out.) Okay, go to the liquor store, buy firearms and firewater, and we’ll see you in a few! Oh yeah, OPEN THREAD, type like crazy!


(Via everybody, really, so stop it. Thanks. UPDATE: Thanks to Rodney Badger for finding the live clip.)

PS – Just because Sara K’s on vacation doesn’t mean the BAN-HAMMER is broken. We are tired of seeing things here that we KNOW you wouldn’t say in a million years, to your (pretend) girlfriend or Mom. Stop making us be ashamed for you.

Yay! We have our Bible Spice thread! Mission accomplished.

Now I can go hit up the liquor store. Later for the debaters, dudez!

Why is this video no longer available? The GOP really has their sh*t together.

According to the HuffPo, the video has indeed been removed. They’re promising screen grabs, over there: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/26/sarah-palins-beauty-pagea_n_129667.html

Finally, a view into the vetting process.

I knew I would end up feeling sorry for her again.

I felt sorry at the beginning, suspended my sorry,

and now after the Kathleen Parker thing I’m sorry again.

For Walnuts, it was obviously all the residual Ben-Gay that Sarah used to keep her swimsuit from riding down that made her a clear winner in the veepstakes over Mittens.

StrangelyBrown September 26, 2008 at 5:28 pm

Well, yesterday we saw the question-and-answer portion of the competition, and now finally the swimsuit portion. All that’s left is the talent portion, which, given what we know about the Governor’s superhuman anatomy, I’m guessing must involve some ping-pong balls.

“We are tired of seeing things here that we KNOW you wouldn’t say in a million years, to your (pretend) girlfriend or Mom.”

Just for the record, I’m very open with my mom and my make-believe girlfriend. I don’t think I’ll be discussing this video with them though, as there are things in life even worse than being banned from Wonkette, like being banned from my sexy-time bed (with the fake-girlfriend, not the mom).

Apocalypstick borrowed that suit from Farah! It’s the one she wore on her poster. I spent a lot of time staring at that poster. My parents wouldn’t let me hang one up, so I spent a lot of time at my friend’s house. That was a big summer.

Bible Spice’s teeth are almost as pretty as Farah’s. In my childhood the preoccupation was with mutually assured destruction. So staring at Farah was a good distraction.

Now, being distracted by Caribou Barbie’s pretty teeth IS mutually assured destruction.

I am usually inclined to give politicians a break on dumb things they did when they were young and impressionable. But then when I was sixteen I almost signed up for a local beauty pageant with a $5000 scholarship, and then backed out shortly thereafter because it occurred to me that I would never be able to hold my head up in public again if I knew I had paraded around like a fucking prize sow for the chance at $5000. Guess not everybody thinks like that.
