Sarah Palin In Surprise Runoff For Presidency Of Afghanistan

Former Alaska Governor, Republican vice presidential candidate and swimsuit model Sarah Palin was reported to have received more than 40 percent of the vote in this week's Afghanistan presidential elections, thus forcing her into a runoff with incumbent President Karzai.

"It's an honor," a surprised Palin told a hastily assembled Wasilla, Alaska news conference. "I didn't even know I was running."

Reports have surfaced that Afghani voters were offered nylons and Hershey bars in exchange for writing in Palin's name on their ballots. A spokesman for the Democratic Party denied involvement.
