Palin launches another entertainer's career

First, it was Tina Fey; then Katie Couric, then Adele; and now it's Maryline Blackburn, the singer and former beauty queen contestant who beat Sarah Palin for Miss Alaska 1984.

Blackburn will perform at two inaugural balls in D.C., and says the exposure from Sarah Palin's exposure has been a career maker.

"People have been trying to figure out, 'Who is this woman?' I've gotten tons of e-mails and CD sales have gone up."

Fuck stimulus packages. At this rate, Sarah Palin will have created 4.1 million new jobs by 2012.
