Sarah Palin as a Beauty Queen
People dismiss the women who participate in beauty pageants as mindless drones enslaved to makeup and plastic surgery.
I beg to differ. I would suggest that the fact that Sarah Palin participated in beauty pageants enhances her qualifications for the office of Vice President.
It’s called a competition for a reason. The girls and women compete. That takes a certain amount of training and “game day” preparation.
You don’t just decide to compete and walk on. You have to study, learn what is expected, and learn how to present yourself in the way the judges expect. And every pageant is different.
It takes drive and determination. It takes adaptability and an ability to think on your feet. You learn a set of skills, practice them and then present them in a public forum where you are judged on that presentation.
I have flatly stated here and in other venues that the things that make a woman successful in beauty pageants are those qualities and traits that make them successful in the military. I have devoted an entire category of posts to those women I have discovered have been both beauty pageant participants and have served in the military.
Several of these women have been awarded medals for their courage under fire. Facing beauty pageant judges might be very similar to surviving an al-Qaeda ambush.
Please do not underestimate Sarah Palin on the basis of her participation in beauty pageants. The character traits she developed during those experiences are exactly those we ought to have in our Vice President and President.

For those of you who have seen “Miss Congeniality” staring Sandra Bullock will know where I’m coming from. Those who have not seen the movie rent it, watch, and learn. The lesson learned by Sandra Bullock’s character (Mary-Lou Freebush) and I quote “These women are just trying to make difference in the world.” Just because Sarah Palin is beautiful does not disqualify her for Vice President.
