It's not a photograph of Sarah Palin it's an image that has long been circulated as a picture of Seinfeld actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Likewise, much attention was paid to a supposed nude shot of a much younger Sarah Palin, seen at the bottom center of this Chinese newspaper article:

It, too, was a fake, one similarly created by clipping the head of Sarah Palin from the photograph below and pasting it onto someone else's body shot:

It's purely a digital manipulation, however, created by pasting an image of her head onto this original photo (of a bikini-clad woman holding a BB gun, not a rifle):Īnother widely circulated photograph was this putative pose of Sarah Palin in a short skirt and high heels (which was also fashioned as a Playboy magazine cover): The image displayed above, of a bikini-wearing, rifle-toting Sarah Palin, began circulating on the Internet within days of the announcement that she had been tapped for the vice-presidential spot on the 2008 Republican ticket. American Legion/VFW frown on garments made from US flag.Īlaska governor Sarah Palin quickly became the object of such attention when Senator John McCain selected her as his running mate for the 2008 presidential election. If it's real it's dynamite! She's a Life Member of the NRA yet is at a pool where guns and alcohol are mixed. There is a third person behind the beer/cig guy holding another rifle. Behind her a male is holding a can, possibly beer, and in the other hand a cigarette. She is wearing a stars and stripes bikini. It shows Vice Presidential candidate Sara Palin holding a rifle. It's an unfortunate aspect of modern life that just about any woman who enters the public sphere at a national level is presumed to have posed for risqué photographs (anything from cheesecake shots to nude pictures) at some point in her past, and that (whether she has or not) examples of such photos will inevitably be fabricated and put on public display.
