Did Palin ever actually win a Beauty Contest?

[ThomWV]

I was just looking at some headline at CNN and saw that Palin was being called a Beauty Queen. All I remember seeing about her in the context of beauty contests was that she claimed that one time she was Ms. Congeniality in some small time pageant and that another woman has risen up and said the story was horseshit because she actually won the award that year and had a trophy to show for it or some such nonsense.

Anyway I was wondering, just what Beauty Contest was this VP Nominee the "Queen" of? I don't mean some also-ran spot on the Glamor ticket, did she actually win one somewhere sometime?

6. If she did they must have voted on those Diebold things.

I think she's butt ugly. That big square looking face and all that war paint reminds me of...Clarabell the Clown.

11. I recall reading that she won the "Miss Wasilla" pageant to qualify for the Miss Alaska pageant

As noted, she finished second in the statewide pageant. Not sure how many she competed against in the Miss Wasilla pageant.

12. That's right -just keep attacking her personally!

Didn't you know she was a Prisoner of War?

Wait.

I think, maybe I watched too many Republicans this week. You can't look at that many old white people without getting confused.

13. I can't picture her winning Ms.Congeniality, either

Especially after she displayed that machete mouth of hers the other night.
