After this reader-submitted photo was published in the Anchorage Daily News, featuring Sarah Palin surrounded by high school boys and possibly flashing the peace sign, the McCain campaign released this strong statement:
The left-wing liberal news media seeks to belittle Sarah Palin’s character by implying that she was exhibiting the peace sign. In fact, she was merely showing her allegiance to an Alaskan youth gang called Virginity Now, whose official motto is “Abstinence until marriage, unless your boyfriend is a hot high school hockey star.” To hint that Sarah Palin is a proponent of peace is flat-out wrong and, quite frankly, sexist; shame on the media for attempting to portray this courageous woman as a peace-seeking liberal. The fact is, and her record shows, Sarah Palin will not blink if her instinct as a God-fearing hockey mom tells her that she needs to start a nuc-u-ler war with Russia. After all, she can see Russia from her house, which is more than we can say for Barack Obama. Furthermore, the presence of an African American teenager in this photo should not be read as an endorsement by the governor of black people in general or Barack Obama in particular.
(In related news: recent polls show that 9.4 out of 10 youths think Sarah Palin is awesome.)
Also today, the McCain camp released this photo as evidence that Palin has met with foreign dignitaries. Said Palin, via an email from her persona Yahoo account which has since been deleted: I’m not sure who this guy is but I know he must be important in Russia! Why else would he be wearing this hat?
