Who knows if Sarah Palin will be the next Vice-President, or even President, but one thing is certain, she will be in next year’s calendar market. The Sarah Palin 2009 Calendar: A Personal Look at the Vice Presidential Candidate is now available for your viewing pleasure.
The calendar was commissioned by Judy Patrick, her friend, Wasilla Vice Mayor and professional photographer. The calendar includes some 50 shots of Sarah Palin and her family. The cover is certainly patriotic, with the American flag in the background, but her fully-dressed photo shows her slinging a shotgun over her shoulder!
