Attractive Alaska Governor Sarah Palin ‘Rear-Ended’

Surprised from behindHere is an update on that affable mother of five who the mens are always licking their chops over: She almost died the other day. Unlike other fancy-pants governors who have personal drivers to get them into car wrecks, Governor Sarah Palin drives her own self around in a Chevy Suburban. On Tuesday morning she was sitting at a stop light on her way to work in downtown Anchorage when some silly fellow ran into her, and now that guy gets to say he rear-ended the governor, wokka wokka.

The rear-ender has gotten speeding tickets before, and he is also a certified EMT who drives fire trucks and stuff, so look out, Anchorage!

Anyhow, the governor is totally fine, due to her enormous vehicle. It bumped the car in front of her, and that car bumped another one. In total, four cars were involved in this little accident. The driver of the first car had a funny little anecdote about the whole thing:

“It was really just a quick bump,” said Jason Goodenbery, the driver of the fourth vehicle hit, a Toyota Camry.

He went to the driver of the car behind him, Amanda Peterson, and realized two other vehicles were involved, he said.

“She asked me, ‘Is that Sarah Palin?’ And, I had seen her and I had noted some resemblance, but I was like, ‘No it’s not her.’ ”

“So I went to speak with her and the gentlemen in (the car behind Palin’s), Mr. Brown, and we were just trading names and phone numbers, very polite, and I asked her (for) her name and phone number and she started to say, ‘Sarah,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, man, you are Sarah Palin, aren’t you?’ “

Governor Palin will probably see many more rear endings in her future so that dudes in Camrys can get her phone number.

    Alaska has a lot of heavy drinkers, she’s lucky she hasn’t been rear-ended a lot more.

  2. sanantonerose says at 10:56 am, July 10th, 2008

    She’s Tina Fey hot.

  3. teebob2000 says at 10:58 am, July 10th, 2008

    Jeebus, I’d love to get her up on the lift to check out that undercarriage just to be sure…

  4. Read-end: the Alaskan pick-up.

  5. freakishlystrong says at 11:01 am, July 10th, 2008

    And by “rear ended” you mean the butt secks, no?

  6. V572625694 says at 11:03 am, July 10th, 2008

    Ted Stevens had better appropriate another $500 million or so to cover any potential liability.

  7. SayItWithWookies says at 11:05 am, July 10th, 2008

    “Previous governors have used chauffeurs. Palin, as part of her no-nonsense take on the job, does not. Palin has also shed perks like the governor’s jet and personal chef.”
    Uh-oh — a pragmatic, perk-shedding Republican? Ted Stevens’ star is definitely fading.

  8. The rear-ender may have been a true American Freedom-Lover, attacking the hated symbol of aRab oppression she was driving. Then again, it may have been a American Freedom-Hating Whack Job, attacking the oppressive climate changemobile she was driving. Or it may have been some asshole who was desperate for any back-door Chevy enema action he could get. Or maybe an ass-ass-inatation attempt? I dunno…so many issues these days…I do — however — find her completely SNARKOLICIOUS!

  9. Jewdishoowary Square says at 11:12 am, July 10th, 2008

    Wait, she was driving to work in Anchorage? Wouldn’t a governor typically work in, y’know, the state capital, Juneau?

    P.S. Grade school geography FTW. Now ask me what the capital of Delaware is.

  10. Serolf Divad says at 11:13 am, July 10th, 2008

    But did she have any junk in her trunk?

  11. She’s not that hot. Liz Glover is hotter. :p

  12. WadISay says at 11:17 am, July 10th, 2008

    I bet this was great on the local news, with the air quotes, like, there was no “penetration” of Ms. Palin’s “passenger compartment” by “Mr. Brown.” (Lips purse, eyes cross, stuff comes out of reporter’s nose)

  13. gurukalehuru says at 11:18 am, July 10th, 2008

    No golf clubs, no story. Move along.

  14. The Neoskeptic says at 11:19 am, July 10th, 2008

    Jewdishoowary Square: What’s the capital of Delaware?

  15. Sean O says at 11:22 am, July 10th, 2008

    sanantonerose: that is *sacrilege*. Tina Fey >>>>>>>>> Wingnut Palin.

    Anyway, ridiculous conservative driving a giant suburban. total shocker.

  16. The Neoskeptic: Fuck Delaware. What is the capitol of the Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros Islands? No Googling!

  17. @Q capital. FUCK.

  18. johnbpt says at 11:32 am, July 10th, 2008

    Forget the GILF. I want to know more about “Homing in on Halibut.”

  19. AfghanVet says at 11:35 am, July 10th, 2008

    You know, she has that look that says, “I am not opposed to back door action if it is done right.”

    Just sayin’.

  20. randomsausage says at 11:36 am, July 10th, 2008

    She’s definitely got that repressed librarian fox vibe going on with those glasses.

  21. sanantonerose says at 11:38 am, July 10th, 2008

    Sean O: I’m merely pointing out the physical similarities. Don’t go dragging politics into this!

  22. DangerousLiberal says at 11:47 am, July 10th, 2008

    Jewdishoowary Square: Anchorage has been the defacto capital for 20 years. Juneau still thinks its the capital. I loved in AK ten years and never once set foot in Juneau (I was in Los Anchorage). Palin avoids Joon-oh like the plague–she was sworn in in Fairbanks, and I think she’d rather move the capitol to Adak than be in Juneau. Folks flying to Juneau can usually be assured of one thing–a diversion to Sitka, Ketchikan, or Seattle.

  23. Iggy Plop says at 11:49 am, July 10th, 2008

    I want Palin and Corzine competing in a state governor demolition derby.

  24. FreshCliches says at 11:52 am, July 10th, 2008

    Given that Guv Hottie used to play basketball, I’m confident that many have taken it to the hole on her.

  25. WhatTheHeck says at 11:54 am, July 10th, 2008

    In the muslim state of Al Aska, women are allowed to drive?

  26. Clovis says at 12:00 pm, July 10th, 2008

    Listen, don’t talk about drinking in Alaska, because eventually that leads down that slippery slope to the native population. And they did my family a very good service one year when we were hiking up on Deer Mountain near Anchorage, albeit unintentionally. We became lost, not being able to tell down from up, so at the foot of the hill we knocked on a door featuring Native Alaskans, who would’ve probably answered the knock had they been able to find the door. Anyway, we caught a ride when a taxi showed up, hooray! Why was a taxi coming out to that particular shanty? To deliver more booze, of course!

    So don’t talk about drinking in Alaska. Drinking in Alaska is your friend.

  27. Truculent says at 12:04 pm, July 10th, 2008

    Did he push her bumper in? Or did it just spring back out after the initial impact?

  28. Lascauxcaveman says at 12:12 pm, July 10th, 2008

    sanantonerose: Damn, Rose. I’m not sure if even Tina Fey is “Tina Fey Hot.”

  29. Banzai77 says at 12:13 pm, July 10th, 2008

    I’d hit that guber-gash.

  30. sanantonerose: I just spent a little over a week in Alaska and I believe she is one of 7 hot women in the state.

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:17 pm, July 10th, 2008

    I appreciate that the BREAKING: HOT DISH SARAH PALIN GIVES BIRTH, KID link is still flashing. Awesome.

  32. Cape Clod says at 12:26 pm, July 10th, 2008

    Boring story. But anything involving Sarah Palin automatically makes it Smoking Hot!

  33. anabellum says at 12:29 pm, July 10th, 2008

    johnbpt: looks to me as if Alaska is some kind of creepy ‘hunting’ oriented fetish sex mag…

    other recent articles include..

    The Bears of Steep Creek…
    Chasing Rainbows…
    and Whale Watcher [which i assume is for fans of BBWs]…

  34. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:36 pm, July 10th, 2008

    Isn’t she the only woman left in Alaska?

  35. ShortShadey says at 1:02 pm, July 10th, 2008

    Meh. Fat hands.

  36. Mr.BorgtoYou says at 1:07 pm, July 10th, 2008

    DangerousLiberal: Ah you loved in Anchorage, but did you leave after loving there or did you stay for breakfast?

  37. ReelectTilden says at 1:14 pm, July 10th, 2008

    After she gets nominated for VP, WALNUTS(!) can rear-end her on the Straight Talk Express across the 48 non-freak states.

  38. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 1:28 pm, July 10th, 2008

    As long as she didn’t get rear ended by a Ford Probe, I’d still tap it.

  39. shortsshortsshorts:
    You have to look harder. There are more, but they look like Geddy Lee with missing teeth and smell like ketchup and cigarettes.

  40. teebob2000 says at 1:43 pm, July 10th, 2008
  41. DangerousLiberal says at 6:42 pm, July 10th, 2008

    Mr.BorgtoYou: Alas, I lived in Anchorage. I couldn’t get laid in my late teens/early 20s if I paid for it, and it was available in wholesale lots in Skanchorage back in the day. Sigh

  42. SayItWithWookies says at 2:13 am, July 11th, 2008

    teebob2000: Um… are you trying to make me feel better about Obama’s FISA vote? Because it’s working — if that’s what you’re trying to do.

  43. sanantonerose: But is she “Slim Slack” hot?

  44. The 3-Legged Man says at 9:10 am, July 26th, 2008

    There’s a reason you’ll never see her in a mini-skirt. Her hotness sort of cools off when you get down to the tree trunks she calls legs. Her high school basketball pictures are the last ones she ever allowed that showed those twin obelisks.

  45. rastamick says at 2:47 pm, August 30th, 2008

    I’ve had 3 Suburbans unless she got reared ended by a loaded cement truck at 140 mph there’s no way in Junea that she’d be injured driving that rig !
