The Palin Marriage: Fact & Fiction

by Sarah

Check it out: Huffington Post has a photo gallery and a bio of Sarah Palin, John McCain’s newly anointed VP running mate. She’s a former beauty queen who is currently serving her first term as governor of Alaska.

We’ll learn more about Palin’s marriage in a Tango feature next month, so for now we’ll present some fact and speculation based on HuffPo’s post.

Fact: Palin married her high school sweetheart, Todd, and the two danced together at the Alaska Governor’s Inaugural Ball this past January.

Speculation: As they were dancing Palin whispered, “Honey, that’s inappropriate! Does my power turn you on?”

Fact: Palin likes to hunt and fish and she eats caribou.

Speculation: Her affinity for “manly” activities helps hold the Palin marriage together, although the spousal competition gets tough when Palin catches bigger fish than her husband.

Fact: Palin won the Miss Wasilla competition but failed to clinch the Miss Alaska crown.

Speculation: Todd Palin loves that his wife is a former beauty queen, and they sometimes role play Beauty Queen and the Beast.
