[ecstatic]

I just thought this was rich :D

Martin spokesman Matt Canter also said the Democrat will have “Georgia’s own Miss Alaska” on hand to sing the national anthem at a 5:30 p.m. rally at the Capitol.

Atlanta-based recording artist Maryline Blackburn won the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant — the one where Palin finished as a runner-up.

5. I'm glad Miss Blackburn made her presence known.

It's also nice that Sarah gets shown to be the loser that she already is. The MSM keeps on pretending as if Sarah won Miss Alaska that year. :sarcasm:
