FORMER MISS ALASKA: EVEN IN PAGEANT, PALIN WAS CONNIVING AND CALCULATING


Granted, this item hardly tells us anything new about why Sarah Palin is not qualified to be our country's next vice president. But in a really funny way, it clues us in as to where she learned how to campaign for office and how she gained her broad political acumen and savvy—in a beauty pageant.

And apparently, from the way a former Miss Alaska tells it, Palin was equally smug, manipulative and conniving back in the day. In a way it's unfortunate that Palin didn't win the Miss Alaska title, as her state and the country would've been a lot better off if that was the highest statewide office she held.

And alas, this November, she'll once again be what she was at that pageant—the runner-up. Thanks to People magazine for this piece.
