Oh this day just keeps getting better and better.
You have GOT to see these pictures to believe them!
"Look at me everybody! Aren't I the cutest Governor in the whole US of A? Can you believe I am the mother of five, count them five, children?"
Actually no I can't Governor. Four? Yes. Five? Not so much.
Actually no I can't Governor. Four? Yes. Five? Not so much.
(By the way I "borrowed" this picture from Runners World so please click the title and visit their site so they do not sue me for copyright infringement. That would totally harsh my mellow.)
Update: Okay I set up a new Yahoo mail account so that all of you can contact me without having to go through the comments section. The e-mail adddress is Gryphen2009@yahoo.com. But let's try not to abuse it, okay my friends?
Yup yup, these pictures sure show everyone just how adorable and pretty and full of pulchritude Sarah is! (I had to look up the word, someone else used it in a blog somewhere..!)
ReplyDeleteI too, also and whatever, took the liberty of desecrating one of the Runners World photos, up now at Hypocrites and Heffalump Traps.
This woman has no sense whatsoever. She verily and truly must think she's still in high school and wants to run for prom queen...
You are wicked funny, Gryphen. Still laughing. "Harsh my mellow" ?????
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't resist - those poses are just incredible.
ReplyDeleteGov Sanford is giving her a run for her money, but for longterm assinine behavior - she still takes the cake.
The look on her face.....!
When did see return to Alaska from her photo op tour of Kosovo? She did Germany, too? Where are those shots?
ReplyDeleteThese poses are too funny.
Using our flag as a photo accessory (or, in my neighbor's case, a yard decoration) should be a hanging offense. Before I was just sick of her. Now I offically hate her.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand much more of this brainless, egotistical twit. That said, I think she looks great in this photo - when was it taken? I ask, because in the photos I have seen in the last month or so she appears skinny and drawn. She looks healthy here.
ReplyDeleteAlso, too, wonder if she got any financial perks from wearing the various outfits!? The frightening thing is that some portion of the electorate hasn't progressed much beyond high school, so this display of pulchritude is nothing to scoff about.
ReplyDeleteOh cripes what a ridiculous fake she is.
ReplyDeleteShe's such a runner, I bet she's running like hell from that Vanity Fair article about her.
Now that photo is photoshopped. Iconic! Reaganesque!
ReplyDeleteCommander in Peeps!
What a freaking idiot. LOOK AT MEEEEE! If I can't be president, I can still be Mrs. Alaska. Unless Kristan competes too. But I still have Dairygate, so she better not!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, trying to appeal to the younger crowd. Looks funny posing that foot in a tennis shoe. Ain't I cutesy? Far enough away so the wrinkles won't show, huh?!
ReplyDeleteCan you say photoshop? Her face, legs, waist, -- well, everything is photoshopped to within an inch of being a live person.
ReplyDeleteShe's living the dream of a failed beauty queen. Photoshoppers across the land lending a hand to make the second runner up finally a contender.
Just so long as she never runs for public office again...
I saw the runner's site where this picture came from and I take exception to the last picture in the series. This cow is seen leaning with her elbow on my flag. A flag I swore to protect and defend with my life. That my friends died for. This cow (no offense to the bovine family) has desecrated my flag. Pissed me off - bitch
ReplyDeleteOK, these photos are old--like when Trig was a hippie.
ReplyDeleteThe last photo of the series with the flag is just so awful. What is with the poses? and she looks shiny plastic in the flag photo.
ReplyDeletethat photo is a prime candidate for photoshopping
Nice camel toe Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThe Runner's World photo with Gov. Palin and the scrunched up American flag is absurd. What a low budget photo shoot. No art director for sure.
ReplyDeleteCome on Letterman. This is just so easy!
ReplyDeletehey look! another picture of trig-the-prop-baby without those glasses he got when he was eight months old and has never worn....good thing DS eye problems resolve spontaneously in alaska.
ReplyDeletethe last pic with the flag was the most unreal to me, how very unprofessional. it looks like a cover-shot for a sexy-teacher/personal trainer themed porn dvd...
Damn. I'd hit it.
ReplyDeleteluna1580, I was just about to make a similar comment about that last pic. I showed it to hubby, and he thought the same thing.
ReplyDeleteFunny how in the first photo she says she asked Todd for an hour to go running on Mother's Day. This was 3 weeks after giving birth to Trig. She went 6 miles that soon after her 5th kid? Please.

An excerpt:
ReplyDeleteAlaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she'd come out ahead if she went one-on-one with fellow jogger President Barack Obama in a long run, according to an interview published online Tuesday.
"I betcha I'd have more endurance," she told Runner's World magazine.
A message seeking comment Tuesday from the White House by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.
--------------------------
SHE IS DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION. DOES ANYONE THINK OBAMA WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO SWAT AT THIS GNAT? IT'S HILARIOUS HOW SHE TRIES TO PRESENT HERSELF AS AN EQUAL RIVAL (OR ANY RIVAL) OF OBAMA'S! WHAT A NUTCASE.
If you ever wondered just how mentally ill Sarah Palin is, you can wonder no more with all the information released today.
ReplyDeleteShe could be one of Hef's "girls next door" considering the boobage hanging out of that top on the bendover shots. LOL
ReplyDeleteO/T: Halcro's new Mansour slam! http://www.andrewhalcro.com/ramras_bp_stock_much_ado_about_ignorance
ReplyDeleteFirst, the faux military video. Now desecrating the American flag. Clueless and unfit to serve. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou don't go running when you are nursing. Sorry, it just doesn't happen.
ReplyDeleteAnd according to Runners World, they did the photo shoot around May 10 this year, I think.
So very.very sad. But at least Vanity Fair (thanks, Thackeray for Becky Sharpe) had a decent article.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm- I wonder who the mean lady blogger is that she refers to. Ask around would you Gryphen? There could be a funny story there if it is true.
ReplyDeleteShe has ruined my view.
ReplyDeleteI see those mountains when I look out my windows.
Is she wearing hose in the picture with the flag? Just hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHer baby jogger did not look like it has been used.....
ReplyDeleteI don't think she's been jogging with it.
Aging beauty queen with wrinkly knees. Perhaps these are her audition photos for her new job at Fox.
ReplyDeleteFurther evidence that Palin truly has the mentality of a 14 year-old Junior High school girl.
ReplyDeleteShe is - without question - the most immature 45 year-old woman in America.
Boy, talk about desecration, an American flag thrown over the back of the chair, rather than properly folded into a triangle and stored away from food and beverage? Tut, tut Sarah P. You been hanging out with those secessionists again?
ReplyDeleteOT - Politico has a new article, Palin story sparks GOP family feud. Finger pointing time!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this a form of advertisment, sort of like arnold lifting a brand name of bar bells. How many other Governors are out there modeling and posing. Did she get money for this photo shot?
ReplyDeleteShe is sooo ridiculous.........meanwhile in Emmonak.......
ReplyDeleteRun Sarah Run!!!
ReplyDeleteStupid is as stupid does...
(What an absurd attempt to be relevant)
She is all about her looks. That is all she has and she knows it, which is why she goes to so much trouble to make herself look like she does.
ReplyDeleteShe has no experience outside of a small town in Alaska, she gains her knowledge out of magazines, and it shows. She is trying so desperately to maintain her only asset, her looks, for fear that when those looks go, like they always do, people won't pay attention to her any longer.
How far would she have gotten with her lack of knowledge if she was unattractive or even just plain looking? No one would have given her a second thought.
She does women such a HUGE disservice by using her looks for attention and distraction from her knowledge. Women everywhere have fought long and hard to be taken seriously and to be treated equally in the world, without looks being taken into consideration. Women everywhere should be shouting down this woman simply for the fact that she is a living example of how things should NOT be done.
Women should not be elevated in status simply because they are good looking, yet that is exactly what has happened with Sarah Palin.
Favorite running movie? "Chariots of Fire," of course, is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIn her ignorance I'm sure she has no idea one of the leads in that movie, Ian Charleson, was gay, and died of AIDS-related causes 9 years after the movie.
Jerry Prevo has proably had an attack of apoplexy on reading what what she said. They've probably been in a prayer vigil all day, and that's why there's been no reaction to Vanity Fair, Chuck Todd on Hardball, or Keith Olbermann.
Quotes from article: SP: "You can see the largest peak in North America, Mount McKinley, and active volcanoes on the horizon. You can see whales out in the water. It's absolutely heaven. I see God's hand all over this place. As I get out there and run I see the most beautiful signs of this evolutionary process that has created the mountains and the glacial retreats that have left the valleys and the rivers..."
ReplyDeleteI thought SP was a creationist. Maybe nrxt week she will be...
"Q: Tell me about a memorable run during the campaign that really stands out.
SP: Oh, my gosh, the one that really stands out I'm embarrassed to death to repeat. I went for a run at John McCain's ranch a couple of days before the debate with Joe Biden.
My favorite thing in the world is to run on hot, dusty roads. I don't get enough of that in Alaska. So I was in heaven and there were plenty of hills so I knew my thighs were going to just throb and my lungs were going to burn and that's what I crave."
So, in addition to the beauty-pageant-queen/runner picture poses, SP throws in a little verbal titillation, just to get all the sedentary slobs' heart rates going. Cute. Calculated?
Someone at Politico commented, "That sounds like a line from some kind of creepy conservative soft core porn movie."
Can anyone figure out what she is holding in the flag shot? As in old oil paintings of nobility, with this kind of photography you know it is not something casual, but symbolic.. or dare I say "iconic"!
ReplyDeletepalingates commenter has it: Blackberries (snort).
ReplyDeleteHow did I not guess?
She's putting her pageant posing talents to good use!
ReplyDeleteLike she is the only person who runs. Give me a brreak. The Mall is loaded with runners morning, noon and evening.
ReplyDeleteTime to drop subscription to Runners World folks.
10cats
Re-freaking-diculous.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the Sarah up-do in the photo, I realized what it looks like: A soft-serve "Dairy Queen" cone from the 50's!
ReplyDeleteThat flag pose is a secessionist signal. Message received?
ReplyDeleteSo she admits she normally wears "troughs of makeup" and without it she is unrecognizable? She is weird. Just weird. Maybe growing up this was one of her fantasies, to have a photo spread in Runners World. I've got to admit, she's dieted herself down to a great looking body. But these cheesecake photos are embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a runner. Running is great. Then my running days ended with torn tendons and torn knee cartilage. Ah well. Now I'm just a dumpy middle aged woman. When I see these pics I miss running. But that doesn't stop me from laughing at the twit. What these pictures make me think of is that running is a lot like praying (no, I don't do that, but some of you probably do). It is best done alone, without fanfare, without shouting it from the rooftops, without photo-ops. When I see runners, I can always tell whether they run for health and peace as their primary motivation, or if they run because it is cool. The "cool" runners run down busy streets during rush hour, breathing car exhaust so that they can show off their sexy legs and butts. They say, "I'm a runner" as often as possible. Same with those fake Christians, like the Prevo crowd. They are more interested in people knowing that they are Christians than actually PRACTICING being Christians, and they think that prayer should be a group sport with a videographer and reporter in tow.
ReplyDeleteSarah apparently has been a runner for a long time. Good for her. It is probably the only thing that reduces her stress load (I miss that). But she obviously has the "cool runner" disease too. She mentions it frequently, as though she's the only one smart enough to run. She acts competitive about it, as evidenced by the Obama remark. And she does stupid stuff like this photo op. Not to promote running as a healthy form of exercise, but to promote HERSELF as the running babe of Alaska. I'm so tired of this kind of bs.
I read all the comments before clicking through to the Runner's World slide show. I did not think the rest of the photos could be as bad as the comments indicated.
ReplyDeleteI was wrong.
They were worse.
This reminds me of how well all tried to pose like models every time we had pictures taken of us - in the sixth grade. Just when you think Sarah Palin could not get any dumber, she does
AKPetMom said...
ReplyDeleteNice camel toe
---------------
LMAO!!! I almost choked. She is soooo classy.
Why is she wearing pantyhose in these photos? Looks weird...especially in the shorts shots.
ReplyDeleteNot a Palin fan. Not a troll. And I am not trying to play Devil's Advocate here either, but I do want to say a few things that will hurt. . .
ReplyDeleteI was 11 weeks along when she revealed her seven month 'pregnancy' on the news. I thought to myself "Bitch" only cause I was a jealous hater, I looked it and she didn't and she was further along than me. Truthers have a reason, but being 10 years younger than her, I wish I still looked as trim as her.
Ennealogic, I am nursing my child, and I run. It is possible. Although her breasts never seemed enlarged (sorry Bristol to bring you in) Bristol showed more enlarged glands than her mother ever did with Trig's pregnancy.
Sarah is terribly thin and flat. It is curious. But every woman's body reacts differently with pregnancy.
I would rather see Palin in this light, meaning, lightweight press that is innocuous.
But please, quoting Plato? Hilarious. How long and hard did she work on memorizing that quote? She didn't mangle it and its intent the way she did with Lincoln (God on our side) or Reagan (that shining city on a hill? and all of the Gingrich article.)
Sighting Runner's World editor as one of her favorite authors? Keep it coming, ROTFLMAF.
But what of the people who only need to read fluff to throw their support behind a talking head just cause they 'relate' to them? One commentator said she'd take up running now. LOL.
Look at Politico's article today - Kristol, Palin's other loverboy, "frequently offered unvarnished assessments of McCain’s campaign from his perch at the Standard, on Fox News, where he is a contributor, and in his then-New York Times column.
“Bill Kristol, going back to the time of the campaign, has taken a lot of cheap shots at the campaign without ever offering a plausible path to victory,” Schmidt said. “He’s in the business of ad hominem insults and criticism.”
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/24392_Page2.html#ixzz0K17hSheZ&D
Sound familiar? That is Sarah's unwitting MO (Told ya so) - but no solutions. Generalities that carry no weight but plays to the base's talking point comfort zone.
Why should Sarah stay in the news when people beg for her to go away? As long as she has her political ambition, we need to keep exposing the lunacy of her viability. Those jerk-A$$e$ Murkowski, Kristol and McCain gave her the notion she is worth something, voters need to keep sending her a message that we were only fooled once.

4:49 PM
Thanks, Anon 4:49 PM and Gryphen! Logged on this morning with a killuh migraine that already had harshed my mellow, and got a glorious laugh!
she looks tilted...........leg cramp?
ReplyDeleteI just noticed something reading Wonkette's take on the article in Runner's World. I didn't read the "interview" because the photos were already too much for me. But apparently in the interview she recounts how she fell running in AZ while preparing for the VP debate and how she swore the secret service to secrecy because she was embarrassed and how they've kept her secret all these many months. This is a total lie. On the day of the VP debate I remember the news showing her walking down the stairs off the plane in whatever city that debate was held in and she was carrying Trig and you could see a big white bandage on her hand. The news person - I think I was listening to Wolf Blitzer - said that the bandage was because she had fallen while out for a run.
ReplyDeleteTo the posters who write about her great figure-- yes, plastic surgery will do that for anyone, as will photoshop.
ReplyDeleteNo, she is not a miracle mother of sacred proportions who is graced by good genes that no other mortal has ever had. she is human, just like the rest of the world, and after 5 babies, she would have some fat, some skin hanging, etc.
she's had a "mommy makeover", and I don't begrudge her of it. she clearly also exercises and that's great.
it isn't her physicality I have a problem with.
I do have a problem with her celebrity like sale of herself as the sacred mother who gains no weight....whose body is not human or mortal...
and I have a bigger problem with her focus on her physciality, and her decided lack of focus on her mental and spiritual development.
she is photoshopped here, and that's fine.
but you can't photoshop a spirit, a heart, or a mind. And all three things are vital in order to be a good leader.
camel toe and vulgar references to throbbing thighs are not the stuff of which world leaders are made. the idea is hysterical, actually.
please, Alaska. Keep Palin out of office in the future. John McCain, where is your apology to Americans???
read the caption with the photo:

Tell me about a memorable run during the campaign that really stands out.
Oh, my gosh, the one that really stands out I'm embarrassed to death to repeat. I went for a run at John McCain's ranch a couple of days before the debate with Joe Biden. My favorite thing in the world is to run on hot, dusty roads. I don't get enough of that in Alaska. So I was in heaven and there were plenty of hills so I knew my thighs were going to just throb and my lungs were going to burn and that's what I crave.
I like running alone and having the Secret Service with me added a little bit of pressure. I'm thinking I gotta have good form and can't be hyperventilating and can't be showing too much pain and that adds a little more pressure on you as you're trying to be out there enjoying your run. Then I fell coming down a hill and was so stinkin' embarrassed that a golf cart full of Secret Service guys had to pull up beside me. My hands just got torn up and I was dripping blood. In the debate you could see a big fat ugly Band-Aid on my right hand. I have a nice war wound now as a reminder of that fall in the palm of my right hand. For much of the campaign, shaking hands was a little bit painful.
I don't remember news reports about it.
Heck no! I made those guys swear to secrecy. And I probably should have gotten a couple stitches. But I was insisting with these guys, "Absolutely not, let's just wash it out." I appreciated how much care they took to help me out. So anyway, I have a little scar on my hand, and I've seen a couple of pictures from the debate or of me waving to someone on the campaign trail with that Band-Aid and I think, nobody else knows about it.
So the Secret Service guys kept silent?
They did! And I have this great respect for them that they've kept silent all these months later.
Back to sarah's wild ride..........why did she ended up going to a hospital anyway?.......she kenw she wasnt in labor and took on that wilde ride back to Wasilla...why not just go home, stay in your own bed, talk to the doctor the next day it is not like she put Trig in danger by flighing and HAD to induce labor..is it?...... whatever it was, it had to happen at nightime.
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the whole article. I just couldn't read any further than the comment about having to turn around on the trail because a moose was blocking her way. Yeah, I guess it's hard to run with a high powered rifle isn't it? I am dissapointed in Runners World. With so many, many wonderful, inspiring women runners, they pick this dimwit. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteIf you are a a fatty photoshop can do so much but I suspect most of these photos (especially the Dairy Queen one :D) is highly photoshopped
ReplyDeleteNOT to compare bobble head to Rachel Ray
But FHM magazine? did a photo spread of Rachel Ray a few years ago.. she looked good! But not at all like her.. the wonders of that tool
compare: http://www.rachaelraypictures.com/rachael_ray_pictures/FHM/image5.htm
ay ve.. too much time on my hands
ReplyDeletebut just Blow up the photos in photoshop..'specially the flag one..
gobs of odd shading going on especially down the middle of her legs and over to that left thigh where that dimply thing is going on
It is almost a large Brown Triangle shadow..and the outside of her left knee is all squared off.. or trimmed
Im not photo expert.. a few zooming in and you can see it
Youd think by now people wouldnt gush over something in a magazine.. you want the real deal then you get the infamous NewsWeek cover..
Palin lies again. Everyone knew about her fall when she showed up with bandages on her hand while carrying Trigger down airplane stairs. Blitzer said she fell running. so maybe no one in the secret service wrote a blog post about it, but it was no secret.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh, how truly awwwwful it is that she desecrates the flag! And how truly awwwwful it is that she looks so good in those pictures!
ReplyDeleteNot the best way to attack her girls. You're just being catty and it doesn't look good on any of you. You all need to just bite the bullet on this thing and concentrate on getting her for her lack of brains. Attacking her for how she looks is a sure loser. (chuckle)
You know, she does look "good", outside the parameters of reality and context. She is fit. But she's the Governor of Alaska, was almost VP, and wants to be President in 2012. She is not a cougar porn hopeful, she's not a celebrity and she's not young or pretty enough to pull off this latest round of full body shots.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Sarah Q., it doesn't always take a catty woman to think a 45 year old in high red hooker shoes and lots of makeup is sexy or attractive, even more so if she's good looking. It's pathetic and just the opposite of sexy, especially in context of who she is and what she says she represents. She reminds me a bit of Tammy Faye Baker. Clownish. Kind of pretty, appears in good shape, but is clownish, like a drag queen. Not hot.
When you get lonely and you want to get troll-y you can always go, DOWNTHREAD.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know about that, Sarah Q (@ 9:52 AM)
ReplyDeleteShe has monkey ears. Ever notice in side views how much her ears look like the ones on Dr. Zira?
She has a nose that's heavy towards its end. Maybe that's what her aesthetition does when she applies the "trough" (I think Palin means "trowel") of makeup -- hides that little flaw.
And the best way to describe her knees is "elephant knees" -- wrinkly. I can see why she got into the "pageant pose" for one of those outdoor shots and the one inside with the flag desecration. Hides flaws like that (which is why she should never wear miniskirts).
(meow)
Hey, Sarah Palin! Act your age!
And I might think about acting mine, and not be so catty towards you...
And if anyone was offended by my previous post just above, well, go to Wonkette -- hobospacejunkie @ 6:57 pm said it much better than I did...
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 2:38,
ReplyDeleteNo need to lecture me sweetheart. I know very well that she's dumb as a f--king gatepost. All I'm saying is that Americans buy into this kind of bullshit. So just bite the bullet and stop whining and help to change your countrymen's political priorities. Face it, this is very heavy stuff for Palin and the nitwits who don't understand that brains and sensibilities in a political are important are going to buy it. It's your problem not mine, and we Canadians are so far capable of at least rising above this kind of nonsense most of the time. You people, on the othere hand, could make her your president for looking like a precocious teenager on an ego trip.
And you Americans are just not 'getting it' yet are you.
TEAM CANADA!
ReplyDeleteThe flag pic: those are not her legs. She has wrinkly old woman knees. Those aren't. FAIL!!!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes, the stroller, the clothes all appear brand new....are they from her own closet or supplied for the photo shoot? Yanno, like a gift?
ReplyDeleteShe has her two blackberries in her hand. I think your gov has a contract with that company. Why would she pose with them in a magazine unless she is getting paid to advertise them. I think someone needs to ask gino about all her outside contracts. Open and transparent my foot.
ReplyDelete
