Sarah Palin Goes Whole Hog on American Chopper

Alaska's Republican governor welcomes loud bikes, big guts and one awesome mustache

If there's one thing Sarah Palin likes, it's the great outdoors, as seen from a snowmobile, a helicopter, a motorcycle…pretty much anything with a motor and a spot you can shoot from.

Thus, it was a summit made in nature-crunching hell when the galoots from American Chopper brought their gear, guts and that disturbing mustache to the office of Alaska's hottest governor.

The occasion? Paul Teutul Sr. is building a chopper to commemorate Alaska's 50 years of statehood. Despite the stench of an obvious PR move (and his refusal to take the hint that it's a "snow machine"), Palin welcomes the biker boss, who for some reason wears his shades throughout the meeting. Make of that what you will.

One question: Did Palin kill that couch herself?
