OH DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!
Topless Sarah Palin lookalike contest
Exhibit one: Club Paradise across the street from the Hard Rock is holding an “official” Sarah Palin lookalike pageant on Oct. 23, advertised with a flier that includes a doctored photo of the candidate. I have no idea what is meant by “official” in this context, except that I was assured yesterday that it does not mean the event is in any way endorsed by Nevada’s McCain-Palin campaign. No surprise there. According to the manager of Club Paradise: “We have invited girls who resemble Sarah Palin from clubs all over the country to join us for the pageant.”
The press release notes: “The guests will cast their votes based on the contestants’ debating skills in addition to how well they match up to Sarah Palin in a swimsuit. The winner of the contest will be awarded over $10,000 in cash and prizes, including a trip for two to Washington D.C. for the presidential inauguration in January 2009.” This is politics Vegas style.
