Baby named Sarah McCain Palin
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) — A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president.
Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl’s birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier.
“I don’t think she believes me yet,” he told the Kingsport Times-News. “It’s going to take some more convincing.”
Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to “to get the word out” about the campaign.
“I took one for the cause,” he said. “I can’t give a lot of financial support for the (McCain/Palin) campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little.”

what a douchebag. reminds me of story i heard about a guy who named his kid kobe. this was before kobe raped that chick. well…before he got caught, at least.
“i do have a sign up in my yard, but i can do very little.” you’re right about that, at least.
Oh, shit. This is embarrassing: I grew up thirty minutes from Kingsport and my grandmother was born and raised in Elizabethton. My roots. Yep, just another reminder of why I moved 15 hours away.
i’m afraid that’s not the only place in this great land where people are so stupid … but i hope you don’t know that guy. that would suck. don’t forget those cd’s …
