Sarah Palin Bikini Pictures: Fake Photos Hit The Web

By now you have surely heard of Sarah Palin. If it wasn't because of her reproductive escapades or her daughter Bristol's, then maybe you heard her name mentioned a time or two as McCain's choice for VP? I know, she was inescapable this weekend. As the media is wont to do, and is their job, news sources both high and low (brow) have been digging up old pics of the former beauty queen. We have everything from her college t-shirt proudly proclaiming her possession of breasts:

to pregnancy shots from the '80s:

to the smile-n-wave political standards:

And now we have this gem to add to the mix:

Before you get either all riled up or all excited (slammin' bod for a 44-year-old, dude!), it's Photoshopped. The original can be found here:

So here's my question: with all the real fodder on S. Pallin - Pregnancies! DUIs! Dead moose! Her energy policy! Her lack of international experience! (listed in order of importance, obviously) - why bother with badly Photoshopped pictures? Yes she's a member of the NRA. Lifetime, even. And yes she probably still looks pretty good in a bikini. Are we going to have to endure this crap all the way until the election? Please, somebody, show me another pic of Bristol's "tummy."

Well all ya liberals are backing the the wrong candidate again, so why is it that hes the first black candidate, hes only half black. There will be a black president, but first it will have to be one who is qualified, rather than just having a rock star mentallity. It's his liberal democrate ideas that make him bad for America, not his skin color, oh yea theres that experience thing too. When will the democrates set up and realize that there are far more Americans that believe in self-reliance than life in a socialistic welfare state. America by its strength and freedom is looked upon to help lead the free world and help spread democracy. See part 2

part 2 from rightwingu­nioncountr­yboy
Only by showing force and strength will we be able to maintain our position. At the rate that some are wanting us to lay down and not exert are selves, America and the United States will find are selves in a position of weakness, at the mercy of what were once third world countries. America will only remain America if we assert ourselves and regain our stature as the leader in production of our own products, enough with all the cheap knock off imports. Not to leave out Republicans, its time for them to "grow a set" and take charge of things and put restraints on the government that allow the average man to once again obtain the American Dream without looking to the government for a handout. Let Americans build wealth among its business owners, so long as they pay a fair wage and sell a good product. I've never known anyone who worked for a poor man. If they build wealth they then expand business, but when taxed punitively they withdraw and just make what they need. Thats when they look for loopholes in the overwhelmingly confusing tax code. Lots of which tend to favor some of the democrates favorite donors / puppet masters. Well now that thats out of the way, democrates are just worried because the republicans are the ones with the strong woman for a candidate. I could go on but, I think ya get the point. Thanks for listening

You KNOW that's not Sarah Palin with the gun because its an air gun. An air gun is basically what Putin was holding to tranqulize the tiger.

Palin uses real guns that shoot real bullets.

[garson]

and what exactly is there to be proud about?! real bullets happen to be able to take away real lives.. cho seung-hui ring a bell? how many such incidents does one need to hit realization?!

[Skycop1]

Sarah Palin has generated more response on these pages in one week than any of the other candidates have in six months. Face it, she is changing the balance. Us democrats don't have anyone even close. Palin is a hottie to boot. She makes Hillary look tawdry in comparison. I am very afraid of her.

[nanoscare]

You can't shoop away the fact that the first statement about her political career that came out of her mouth on the world stage was a lie. It's on tape. She did support the bridge to nowhere. The fact that she headed up the indicted Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens' 527 is just icing on that very rotten cake.

[You Must Be This Tall]

Once again another uninformed liberal doesn't take the time to research the facts before opening its mouth to remove all doubt about its intelligence. Sarah Palin gathered all the facts about the "bridge" and then made the informed decision not to support it. She originally thought it was a good idea until it became obvious it was not the best choice for the people of Alaska. That is what intelligent people do. Why is changing your mind on an issue a bad thing? The true problem is when people refuse to change their minds after getting the facts saying, "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up!"

[lawyersRus]

First of all, liberals are not "its". Second, wouldn't it have been prudent for Palin to research the facts before she supported the bridge? Lastly, isn't this the typical "flip flop" conservatives are fond of accusing those who change their mind? All conservatives want is to deregulate business, privatize profits and socialize losses. No thanks.

[zippity]

"Are we going to have to endure this crap all the way until the election?"
Answer - yes. The various forms of media would have it no other way.
It is the accepting the good with the bad of a free nation (BTW - yes this crap is the "BAD!")

[dlbdpb]

Why do we have to subjected to all these pictures of her?????? She is not longer a "beauty contestant", or are we suppose to fall in love with her looks, no matter what's inside her head??? We sure haven't seen alot of a young Biden who is so good looking still.

[NickOhio]

Photo-shopped or not, it still emits the character of the woman, even as she explains herself (pit bull with lipstick, anyone?).

[Miket53]

The fact that you are not appalled by such actions shows the left is freaked out about Palin. You leftists and the press don't know how to handle her. You, like all Americans, clearly see that the McCain/palin ticket is a force to be reckoned with. Obama/Biden is in trouble. Most of us assume Biden will say something really...really dumb or offensive during a debate and the campaign will be over. Then NOW and other organizations will begin losing support because they will be trashing the first woman VP. I see a complete overhaul of the Democratic Party after they lose.

[KBR]

Another interesting photo of Palin was posted on Clay Cane's blog. Is it real? I'd post the URL but each time i try the comment gets removed.

[leela]

Egads. She's pro-life as long as it is bipedal, any other creature forget it. If it is life at the moment of conception then isn't all life worth treasuring? I guess not when it's a baby moose you have in your sites. As far as the unphotoshopped photo, there something sick about it. The photoshop photo presents a sense of irony.

[Daps]

One they're out of the womb, they're free to bomb and turn into POWs.

[paylinforvp]

another stupid comment made without thinking or using your noodle. moose is very good eating and the folks up in alaska like to hunt and fish. they consume many of your four legged friend. remember the animals on this planet are here for us to enjoy and to eat. think about it the next time you eat a cow, chicken( i am sure you can make some up about a two legged chicken),
[pig etc........

[garson]

guess u're one of those who eats dogs and kittens.

[jojochambana]

Here's my photoshop contribution.

I found these too!

Can you imagine a marathon running, fish cleaning, moose gutting , college degreed , Chief executive of a state with a $10 billion budget and 12 thousand employees... woman married to the same man for 20 years with 5 kids.

I'm appalled.
My daughter may emulate her instead of Brittany Spears.
God save us all.

[dlbdpb]

Maybe she'll go hunting with Cheney .

[paylinforvp]

sorry for you fella. you are just ascared silly by a strong woman with a better than average mind
and gusto for life. i have been married to a women for fifty years and we have 5 children

[BruiserND]

I'm a hunter and big Palin supporter and included the hunting pictures to poke fun at the left

[marc h]

"My daughter may emulate her instead of Brittany (sic) Spears."

Too bad her own daughter didn't.

[EdWhite1]

Can we really trust the judgement of a woman who decides to become pregnant in her 40s despite the known risks and produces a child with Downs syndrome? Can we trust a woman who doesnt even realize her minor daughter is getting busy without any birth control to choose correctly for the rest of us? Can the woman from the state with the 'bridge to nowhere' really be different from the normal pork barrel, screw the taxpayer politics of the last 8 years? McCain has become the same as Bush and Palin is just a cheap ploy to get women voters. Republicans need to go away!

[PaAmerican]

You didn't really just try to compare a woman getting pregnant with her ability to handle a job did you? Or try to say that if she didn't put a chastity belt on her so that makes her unqualified? And FYI she was the one that TURNED DOWN the funds for that proposed "bridge to nowhere". Get the facts and try not to alienate every other woman who has had a baby in their 40's or who's child made a decision that they wouldn't agree with. At least her daughter is accepting responsibility for her choice. Actually, in my opinion, that shows what a GOOD mother and father they have been!

[Miket53]

Your comment about deciding to have a baby in her forties is exactly what will cost the democrats the election. Until a republican woman was put on a ballot decisions like those were hailed as great signs of liberation by the left. Now it's a problem? You liberals should watch what you write because each comment like that loses votes for Obama. We conservatives love it....keep it up.
Mike

[thegirlnextdoor]

I agree with Mike53 - back off everyone. There is enough to critize about her actions and her policies and her belief that the war in Iraq is a godly war - leave the kids out of it! This personal nonsense just detracts from the real concerns about this candidate. She is far right and deep into religious extremism!

p.s. I have a cousin who is Downs and he is an absolute delight - so lay off that too! Just back the f... oof!

[Daps]

Do you have any effing idea of the amount of effort it takes to raise an extreme special needs kid?

[olnukkahead]

Hey Ed - You may be right about some things. I've never had a teenage daughter or birthed over age 40 so I don't know much about either. I know both must be very hard and it probably takes a lot of love and strength do either, perfectly or not. But speaking to porkbarrel spending, H. Clinton has requested $2.3 billion in earmarks for '08, Obama requested $740 million, McCain requested $0 (and never has). Pres. Bush has allowed way too many bills to pass over his desk without a veto. But at least on earmarks, McCain is nothing like Bush.. or Clinton... or Obama. And this alone makes me think that he may be the only candidate out there that is serious about reducing out-of-control government spending. You're a good man, Ed. It is good to see a man with passion. I hope this helps the discussion.

[jasbaum]

You probably don't have kids. Liberals are so desperate to find something that could disqualify Palin from office in the minds of voters, that they have gotten very pathetic in the quest for the Holy Grail. Let's put it this way, you can bet she won't have oral sex in the office. You can be fairly confident that she won't turn the Lincoln bedroom into Cathouse 2. I am pretty certain she won't allow American businesses to sell military technology to the Chinese to pay them back for getting her elected.

You don't trust the judgment of a woman who has a pregnant teenager, but you will trust the judgment who took his family, his children, to the church of Rev. Wright and exposed them to his rants.

[realityczech4u]

AND the guy standing behind her is SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!! AND drinking a DOMESTIC beer (looks like a Schlitz). How gauche. How declasse.
