What price, Sarah Palin's butt?

By Michael J.W. Stickings

TNR's Chris Orr exposes yet another glaring example of Sarah Palin's hypocrisy:

In her latest ill-advised broadside against Levi Johnston, Sarah Palin accused the soon-to-be Playgirl model of "sell[ing his] body."

It's a peculiar complaint for a former beauty queen to make, but particularly peculiar for one who told People, "I did the beauty pageants to earn money for college"; who, by placing in the Miss Alaska contest did, in fact, earn a scholarship (of which she reportedly said, "that's what got me through college"); and who described the process thus in Vogue: "They made us line up in bathing suits and turn our backs so the male judges could look at our butts."

She's so full of herself, so convinced of her own righteousness, that she probably doesn't even recognize just how full of shit she is.

We'd all be better off if she'd stuck to showing off her butt for money. (Not that she was ever a whore or anything. You know.)
