LOL! Palin Lied About Winning Miss Congeniality.
Palin was a high school star, says schoolmate

ALASKA PIPELINE: Amy Gwin, 43, of University City, grew up in Alaska and competed in the Miss Wasilla, Alaska, competition in 1984 against GOP vice presidential choice Sarah Palin. Gwin said Friday that she won the Miss Congeniality award in the competition, although Palin's Wikipedia entry says she won the contest — and the Miss Congeniality award. Gwin was a year behind Palin, now 44, at Wasilla High School, which had about 800 students. Gwin said Palin was "a high school star in a good way," a beauty who got good grades and excelled at athletics. Gwin, who was president of her class, does not recall Palin holding school office. The Wikipedia entry on Palin said she was head of the school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes and captain of the basketball team. Gwin said she was not surprised when Palin became the governor of Alaska, but is astonished that she got the GOP nod for vice president. Asked whether she would support Palin because she knows her, Gwin said: "I wouldn't support her if she was my very best friend. I support Obama and don't share any of her (Palin's) politics. She's very shallow." Gwin is the director of agency relations for the Rodgers Townsend advertising firm. Her husband, Brad Nuccio, is executive VP of the St. Louis Science Center. The couple have two children, Mia, 9, and Max, 7.

25. Shakespeare wrote puns and was proud of it. Puns
can be clever and witty. Some are dumb, sure, but many are very cool. I liked yours.

14. Something missing here
The Miss Congeniality fraud might be taken from the blogger fraud on Wikipedia. (Suspicious origins) Do you have anywhere where Palin herself or somebody official says she was Miss Congeniality?

18. Stop it... she made a mistake... HONESTLY people you need to read this.
She's guilty of a lot of things but don't waste your time on this one.

Miss Alaska 1981, Laura Trollan, worked in local television as an Anchorage weather broadcaster. Miss Alaska 1982 became an award-winning realtor and business woman, achieving recognition for The Kristan Cole Team. Miss Alaska 1984, Maryline Blackburn, pursued a career in music and has received critical acclaim as a recording artist. Sarah Heath Palin, the 1984 Miss Alaska runner-up (and Miss Congeniality) is the current Governor of Alaska and Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate. Miss Alaskas 1985 and 1986 went on to establish successful careers in modeling: Jerri Morrison as a plus-size supermodel, most recognizable for her catalog work for Nordstrom and JC Penney, and Kristina Christopher-Taylor as a TV and print model featured in several national campaigns.

24. Hold on . . . not a lie
For what it's worth, from the little evidence I've been able to gather, I understand Palin won the "Miss Congeniality" title in the "Miss Alaska" contest, not the "Miss Wasilla" contest.

I'm glad to hear her former classmate is supporting Obama though.

30. Ok, we're moving from minor misstatements to wholesale image manufacturing.
Looking forward to this info being bandied about. We're only 4 days into her selection, and a LOT of bad info has turned-up... much of it refuting the basics of her supposed "resume."
