Palin, pageants, and porn


By the way, it's awfully rich of Sarah Palin to criticize Levi Johnston for "aspiring" to "porn" -- he's apparently going to pose for Playgirl -- given her own beauty pageant past.

She made the comments on Oprah yesterday -- for more on that, see my long post from last night -- but she's made similar comments before. See my recent post "What price, Sarah Palin's butt?" for more.

Is being in a beauty pageant the same as posing for a softcore "porn" magazine? There are differences, to be sure, but Palin herself has admitted that she "did the beauty pageants to earn money for college," and that the pageants were explicitly sexual: "They made us line up in bathing suits and turn our backs so the male judges could look at our butts."

Should we all pray for you, Sarah?
