OMG Old Video of Sarah Palin In Ugly Swimsuit

Wokka wokka.Thank you, loyal readers, for sending us a few thousand tips about this YouTube video of Sarah Palin walking on a beauty-pageant stage in a very ’80s, unflattering one-piece. We are not posting it here because HALF THE CLIP IS SOME GUY TALKING ABOUT HOW HE HAS THIS VIDEOTAPE. OH THAT ONE IS REMOVED BY USER. (Okay, we’ll post the pure-beauty walk video after the jump.) And now we must prepare for our live coast-to-coast Mississippi debate pre-coverage, coverage, and post-coverage, so go ahead and watch this video for the next couple of hours, again and again. (Also thanks for the “McCain Wins Debate” ad tips; yeah dudes we got that at like dawn today, here, check it out.) Okay, go to the liquor store, buy firearms and firewater, and we’ll see you in a few! Oh yeah, OPEN THREAD, type like crazy!


(Via everybody, really, so stop it. Thanks. UPDATE: Thanks to Rodney Badger for finding the live clip.)

PS - Just because Sara K’s on vacation doesn’t mean the BAN-HAMMER is broken. We are tired of seeing things here that we KNOW you wouldn’t say in a million years, to your (pretend) girlfriend or Mom. Stop making us be ashamed for you.

    Yay! We have our Bible Spice thread! Mission accomplished.

    Now I can go hit up the liquor store. Later for the debaters, dudez!

  2. whore4hope says at 4:55 pm, September 26th, 2008

    This video is no longer available?!

  3. Why is this video no longer available? The GOP really has their sh*t together.

  4. bitchincamaro says at 4:55 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Wow. Suddendly, I’m tongue-tied.

  5. HomoPolitico says at 4:56 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Dude, you can totally see her “Cindy”!

  6. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:57 pm, September 26th, 2008

    …screw the bating suit portion, I wanna hear the Q&A section!!! Such as Iraq!

  7. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 4:57 pm, September 26th, 2008

    According to the HuffPo, the video has indeed been removed. They’re promising screen grabs, over there: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/26/sarah-palins-beauty-pagea_n_129667.html

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 4:58 pm, September 26th, 2008

    whore4hope: The video has suspended itself until this bailout thing is resolved.

  9. Rodney Badger says at 4:58 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Here it is without the dorkwad blabbing about nonsense:

  10. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:59 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: …hehehehe, beat you to it! I snuck out of work early and I’m laying in bed with my first drink of the night! CHEERS!

  11. Babs Hula says at 5:00 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I think she looks good.

  12. Hmmm an ad for abstinence!!!

  13. looks like she has one of those tall hairdos like those 10-wives in Utah.

  14. Finally, a view into the vetting process.

  15. Babs Hula says at 5:03 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I knew I would end up feeling sorry for her again.

    I felt sorry at the beginning, suspended my sorry,

    and now after the Kathleen Parker thing I’m sorry again.

  16. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:04 pm, September 26th, 2008

    we must prepare for our live coast-to-coast Mississippi debate pre-coverage, coverage, and post-coverage

    Just don’t get so drunk that you boys can’t type now.

  17. SixThirty says at 5:04 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Am I the only one who REALLY wants to see the Interview portion of the competition? Do you think she brought the same oratory fireworks she loosed on Couric?

  18. Babs Hula says at 5:05 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: Nice spelling on Mississippi

  19. j6n: You DO NOT want to see the video of Mittens in a swimsuit and heels.

  20. In what way do you mean ’swimsuit’ charlie?

  21. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:06 pm, September 26th, 2008

    j6n: Win. Where have you been all of our lives?

  22. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:06 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Wait, it’s been removed? How can this not help the McCain campaign after this week? There you go again, John.

  23. weaselplasty says at 5:07 pm, September 26th, 2008

    errrggh, ken. must you say “open thread?” now we’re gonna get 13,900 stupid “first!” posts from kos-ists and freepers alike.

  24. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:07 pm, September 26th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Aww, man! I’ve been trying to leave for about an hour now! This time, I’m REALLY going, dammit!

  25. Babs Hula says at 5:08 pm, September 26th, 2008

    SHE LOOKS FINE IN HER SWIMSUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Lazy Media says at 5:08 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Man, that trumpet player is STONED.

  27. Ken, we will never doubt you again.

  28. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 5:09 pm, September 26th, 2008

    This and the hillbilly clip have driven me over the edge. Do emergency rooms perform lobotomies?

  29. flashdance.

  30. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:12 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: Ole Miss will be much easier after they finish their “debate preparation.”

  31. The Jackson Five says at 5:12 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Wait’ll the after-pageant “party” footage with Mario Lopez leaks.

  32. She looks like my mom did when we went to the Jersey shore when I was a kid.

  33. Hit me in what way, Charlie?

  34. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:14 pm, September 26th, 2008

    For Walnuts, it was obviously all the residual Ben-Gay that Sarah used to keep her swimsuit from riding down that made her a clear winner in the veepstakes over Mittens.

  35. Babs Hula says at 5:15 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: I have no idea what that means.

  36. Politicalchef says at 5:19 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Oh, c’mon, stop complaining that people want to share.

    Wonkette: “wah wah wah, we’re popular and people want to send us stuff. We have to look at emails and we’re tired. wah”

    You sound like John McCain.

    Nest time, just post the damn vid or link or explanation earlier and solve your own problems.

  37. I wouldn’t mind greeting her as a liberator.

  38. You have to admit, that high-heel pivot thing she does is pretty impressive.

  39. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:24 pm, September 26th, 2008

    facehead: From her Christianity?

  40. Johnny Zhivago says at 5:25 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Open Thread?? Where the hell is Diary Rescue.

    Is John McCain over at Kos rescuing diaries??? And if not, why not?

  41. Harvey Birdman says at 5:27 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I wish the world was absurd enough that every candidate had to pivot in a one piece.

  42. Babs Hula says at 5:28 pm, September 26th, 2008

    arf: Just standing up there and smiling is pretty impressive.

  43. StrangelyBrown says at 5:28 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Well, yesterday we saw the question-and-answer portion of the competition, and now finally the swimsuit portion. All that’s left is the talent portion, which, given what we know about the Governor’s superhuman anatomy, I’m guessing must involve some ping-pong balls.

  44. Johnny Zhivago says at 5:29 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Recognized by Whos Who?? Get out!

    “Who’s Who in Alaska Pagentry?”

    “Who’s Who in Wassila Valley 4H?”

  45. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:30 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: Then perhaps Wonkette is not for you.

  46. “We are tired of seeing things here that we KNOW you wouldn’t say in a million years, to your (pretend) girlfriend or Mom.”

    Just for the record, I’m very open with my mom and my make-believe girlfriend. I don’t think I’ll be discussing this video with them though, as there are things in life even worse than being banned from Wonkette, like being banned from my sexy-time bed (with the fake-girlfriend, not the mom).

  47. Babs Hula says at 5:32 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: I think it’s impressive!

  48. Babs Hula says at 5:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    StrangelyBrown: Ping pong balls?

  49. paolaccio says at 5:34 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Politicalchef: Then perhaps Wonkette is not for you.

  50. (in my Andrew Dice Clay voice) “That fuckin’ whore - ohhh”

  51. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:38 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: I was attempting to imply that the “debate prep” in which Ken and Jim would partake would include alcohol. Having to explain it, though, desnarks it and hurts my pride a bit. I will get over it.

    Carry on.

  52. HomoPolitico:Too bad they hadn’t discovered HDTV back then.

  53. PoliTacky says at 5:41 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: I think this question might prove that, in fact, Wonkette is not for you. lol.

  54. This is such a scam. She put the video out there today. Don’t tell me you didn’t see the news about her postponing her financial doxxx until after the VPILF debate? I can only imagine what kind of money launderers who are scrubbing that thing to put those oil concessions into offshore accounts in Tajikistan

  55. I think I have to reassess my standards of feminine beauty.

  56. Babs Hula says at 5:44 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: I thought you were talking about my spelling comment.

  57. Lazy Media: Let’s get lost…

  58. I still say women wearing white high heels and swimsuits at the same time are hiding something. Or not hiding something at all. America, you be the judge of that, I did my part in DC.

  59. Babs Hula says at 5:45 pm, September 26th, 2008

    PoliTacky: I don’t think I have to explain why
    I’m trying to

    1. get drummed up about something so I’ll care about it

    2. I’m trying to be fearless

  60. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:46 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Geez, all I can say is, what an ass!

  61. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:47 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Sorry, I meant “what an ass, Charlie…”

  62. Babs Hula says at 5:49 pm, September 26th, 2008

    And at least she didn’t fall down

  63. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:50 pm, September 26th, 2008

    PoliTacky: I concur.

  64. Datsun510 says at 5:50 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Apocalypstick borrowed that suit from Farah! It’s the one she wore on her poster. I spent a lot of time staring at that poster. My parents wouldn’t let me hang one up, so I spent a lot of time at my friend’s house. That was a big summer.

    Bible Spice’s teeth are almost as pretty as Farah’s. In my childhood the preoccupation was with mutually assured destruction. So staring at Farah was a good distraction.

    Now, being distracted by Caribou Barbie’s pretty teeth IS mutually assured destruction.

  65. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:51 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: Not at all. Spelling is optional here.

  66. Clyde Midia says at 5:51 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I can see her moose toe………heh….heh

  67. Babs Hula says at 5:52 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Who was Farah?

  68. PoliTacky: Hmmm. Less said the better about this.

  69. PoliTacky says at 5:52 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: I’m just yankin’ yr’ chain a little bit, there, Babs. Don’t be scared, just have a shot of instant courage a.k.a sweet sweet alcohol! It’s the American Way!

  70. Gopherit v2.0 says at 5:55 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: I think he was implying that an appreciation for crassness is mandatory for long term happiness here. The ping-pong balls…..well, there’s no way I’m going to explain that.

    Enjoy your stay.

  71. Babs Hula says at 5:59 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I knew the ping pong balls should make me nervous

  72. PoliTacky says at 5:59 pm, September 26th, 2008

    d4g33z: Ping pong balls? What? Where am I? Are we talking about the Chinese again? Forrest Gump? What’s happening?!?

  73. Babs Hula says at 6:01 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Don’t worry. I won’t be here much longer.

    My crassness isn’t what it used to be.

  74. pdiddycornchips says at 6:01 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I think ’80’s videos should be off limits. I used to dress like MC Hammer and my girlfriend was a red head with freckles and faux cornrows.

  75. Gopherit v2.0 says at 6:04 pm, September 26th, 2008

    paolaccio: Hey now…

  76. Babs Hula says at 6:09 pm, September 26th, 2008

    I loved the 80s

  77. Gopherit v2.0 says at 6:10 pm, September 26th, 2008

    arf: Thanks for doing what I could not.

  78. Johnny Zhivago: Who’s Who is quite impressive. They recognized me twenty years ago, and I hadn’t done shit with my life. Amazingly enough, I’ve accomplished about the same in the past twenty as well. Unless you count learning that MGD is piss water as an accomplishment.

  79. HomoPolitico says at 6:22 pm, September 26th, 2008

    “A Cameltoe in what respect, Charlie?”

    …I know I know…Im sorry.

  80. I’m waiting for someone to make a mash-up of this video set to “Swing” by Savage and Solja Boi or whatever.

  81. Conspicuous Bulge says at 6:25 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Who remembers The Notorious Bettie Page? She’s in the acting class except she can’t act so when it’s her turn to do a scene she just starts taking off her clothes, as if to say, ‘this is my talent!’

    By the end of the VP debate, Sarah Palin will be stark naked.

  82. Beer4Prez says at 6:26 pm, September 26th, 2008

    So, the announcer goes on and on about her “Leadership” — the GOP re-dubbed it. Smart, those guys.

  83. wasn’t “who’s who” a lame scam where high schoolers would have to order 10 books to have their name printed inside? not that i would ever have been so stupid or anything. i heard from a friend…

  84. StupidGeek says at 6:26 pm, September 26th, 2008

    It’s pretty sweet that her resume hasn’t changed much since 1984. Makes it nice and easy to remember.

  85. ManchuCandidate says at 6:30 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Ah Right Said Fred
    Sarah Palin’s I’m Too Sexy

  87. Datsun510 says at 6:37 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Babs Hula: Farah Fawcett. I guess you have to be about forty years old or so to get the joke. I apologize for being old.

  88. Gopherit v2.0: Happy to help.

  89. Babs Hula says at 6:44 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Datsun510: Sorry. I forgot about her.

    I always get her mixed up with Suzanne Somers.

  90. thwanger: It’s like the company that will publish your poem in ananthology (that no one will ever read) for the small sum of $700 billion.

  91. KublaKant says at 6:49 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Were the ping pong balls part of the talent competition. I missed that part of the video.

  92. Sweet fancy Jesus. We’re doomed.

  93. Close race + Bradley Effect + McCain’s early death from skin cancer = holy fucking shit

  94. j6n: best. re. ever.

  95. teebob2000 says at 7:40 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Fuck it, she’s got a primo ass!! I’m votin’ for her.

  96. sailingthestyx says at 7:41 pm, September 26th, 2008

    hunters and gatherers across this glorious nation are telling “Mr. Right Hand” that he’s gonna have SEX tonight…yeah, boy…this is the kind of VP “Mr. Right Hand” can vote for…

    dig it…earlier this evening I forgot where I was and posted this comment on Huffington Post…it didn’t seem to get through the censors…thought I was still at Wonkette; laughed out loud…thanks Wonkette…think I’ll go comment on NYT now…

  97. scarface1950 says at 7:51 pm, September 26th, 2008

    i ll have what she s having!!!

  98. Hedley Lamar says at 8:10 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Two words. Nipple Bandaids.

  99. teebob2000 says at 8:10 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Conspicuous Bulge: By the end of the VP debate, Sarah Palin will be stark naked.

    Not totally naked, she’ll slide her camisole top down to her waist and leave it there to hide the stretch marks, like the MILF chicks in the porn videos.

    Or so I’m told.

  100. Jonny Lieberman says at 8:13 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Isn’t the music from whenever the Simpsons are hanging out with animatronic friends?

  101. Babs Hula: This is why we fail.

    We worry about the same peoples’ “feelings” at the same time as they posture over dead things and people. !@*# them. I hope they cry every night. I hope they’re haunted by the dead. And you know what? They never will be. They dislodge empathy, they continue the process that involves collateral deaths and bombing wedding parties, and we’re busy worrying that they might feel awkward for saying stupid shit when they already claimed that they were born to politic.

  102. NotLaughing says at 8:55 pm, September 26th, 2008

    Maus: Are you lecturing her?

  103. Her thighs could crush all of the russias, and maybe have. This is what the US needs in foreign policy experience.
    — John McCain

  104. Great sigh of relief: okay, for 1 brief shining moment, this twit has at least ONCE shown up with her original parts: right breast smaller than left breast–tada! That, ladies and gentlemen, is natural.

    Now, we deduct points for (a) appearing in a “beauty pageant” (It’s a SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST!!), and (b) awful hairdo, to which she seems addicted to (yuck!!) —

  105. Clay Aikin on the cover of this week’s people is wearing Palin glasses.

  106. Soggy Duchamp says at 2:36 pm, September 27th, 2008

    I wonder if anyone called the police to report the theft of Sarah’s ass? Is it too late?

  107. yellowbug says at 5:33 pm, September 27th, 2008

    I am usually inclined to give politicians a break on dumb things they did when they were young and impressionable. But then when I was sixteen I almost signed up for a local beauty pageant with a $5000 scholarship, and then backed out shortly thereafter because it occurred to me that I would never be able to hold my head up in public again if I knew I had paraded around like a fucking prize sow for the chance at $5000. Guess not everybody thinks like that.

  108. Yellow:

    I always wanted to be in beauty pageants but Dad was fixated on my becoming an Eagle Scout.

  109. wrenchdevil says at 9:13 pm, September 27th, 2008

    I heard she did a Charlie McCarthy ventriloquist act for the ‘talent’ portion of the show. Maybe she’ll try and razzledazzle us debate night with the same act.
    Sarah: Well Charlie, would you like to take that question?
    Charlie: No, you stupid bitch, you answer the fuckin’ question. I’ve been put away in that friggin’ trunk for 24 years, you pull me out now to try and save your ass? I don’t thiiink sooooo..By the way, nice tits, woowoo.

  110. ihatepolls says at 2:38 am, September 28th, 2008

    Conservative bloggers going ballistic over SNL skit.

    Perhaps Palin can be redeemed by conservative outrage?

    Dam, due to Michelles’Bowell problem she hasn’t worn a Swim Sute in years.

    I’ve got a close up headshot of Miss Sarah in my Where Would Sarah Spa post at http://spaaroundtheworld.wordpress.com and her beauty and spa tips too! Gotta have some comic relief with this election, Tina Fey notwithstanding, right?

  114. thefrontpage says at 10:36 am, September 29th, 2008

    Where are the beauty pageant vidoes of that sexy Louisiana woman in Congress and that Helseth or whatever Congresswoman? We needs those videos.
