Tough call, but she edges out Dick Cheney for that distinction. Barely.
Earlier today, John McCain named Sarah Palin, the little-known Governor of Alaska, as his Vice Presidential running mate in the 2008 election.
Who is Sarah Palin? Few outside Anchorage know. But we uncovered one interesting fact - she came in second in the 1984 Miss Alaska Pageant!
Here's a photo of Palin now and then ...
That's right. The Thrilla from Wasilla (we just coined that) is an inspiration to many. Who knows, in 24 years, Tara Conner may get her chance to run for V.P.
Anyway, here are some more Sarah Palin pictures ...

She looks like Mary Ann from Gilligan. Young pictures and current pictures are quite similar.

Far more fun and enriching than just seeing the stories that will appear about her in the days ahead, in the new Family Forest® it is possible to just point-and-click and visually explore the generation-by-generation family ties which connect Governor Sarah Palin to each of the people mentioned from the Mayflower, plus Hollywood and media celebrities such as Richard Gere, Cokie Roberts, Katharine Hepburn, Joanne Woodward, Julia Child, Ted Danson, Bing Crosby, Bruce Dern, Clint Eastwood, Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, Tennessee Williams, Robert Redford, Raquel Welch, Don Imus, Christopher Lloyd, Lee Remick, David Hyde Pierce, Garrison Keillor, Alec Baldwin and his brothers, Humphrey Bogart, Sam Waterston, Orson Welles, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Paul Giamatti, and many others.

She does look like Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island. Can you believe has only met this chick once and now she's going to be his running mate. This is an insult to all women. UGH!

Sarah Palin - great choice! Read credentials, then comment-anything less is an insult to all women. She has the intelligence, experience (more than Obama's 140-160 days), and great family values.

It's true that this 'hot chick' ordered open season aerial slaughter on species like Wolves that are barely getting off the Endangered Species List! Totally disgusting and shameless.
But, that's not enough, now Palin wants people to hunt Polar Bears (!!!), even though they are on the Federal Endangered Species list as threatened according to all experts, state and national! She wants to wipe out any animals in our National Parks and Wildlife Refuges for the sake of Big Oil fantasies.
She's lower than a sleazeball. Her husband works for BIG OIL, too... What more do you need to know? And McCain knows better, so that just proves what a sell-out he has become! McCain = not worthy to wipe our boots.

Credentials? A communications degree from Idaho State?
Wow--what a scholar! Producing some kids?
What preparation for National office!
And being the Mayor of Wasilla, AK? Pop. 5,500! Ha!
Talk about backwards! I did my research. That place
has a saloon and a strip mall--that's it.
You've got to be kidding me. Even some of her colleagues think it's a joke.

I think she looks like Peggy Hill.

I'm thrilled. She's a real woman who doesn't fall for the typical envirowacko BS. By the way, her husband is a union worker in oil production, not exactly an executive position. According to some of these posts, Americans that attend public schools and work real jobs don't have the credentials to be public servants at the highest level. I'm thrilled a woman who wasn't raised with a silver spoon in her mouth and an Ivy league diploma on the wall has a chance at the White House. Plus, it shows that not all women are interested in maintaining their right to kill babies. I've been so disgusted that the Democrats think all we want is the right to abort children. How about equal pay? Equal opportunity? Oh, but Hillary can run in eight years, just wait your turn ladies....
We're done waiting.
McCain/Palin 2008!
