Well, she is a lawyer \*and \*a dentist. There’s no reason to think there’s anything she can’t do if she puts her mind to it! Maybe she can super-notarize Palin’s birth certificate? ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > I hadn’t heard that one. It came up in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=534800&page=2). Okay, actually I brought it up. I base it a quote from [this article](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/05/AR2009100503819.html) from the Washington Post. > [@](#): > > The man who would become her husband, visiting from the United States, asked her to marry him on their second date, something that didn’t surprise her – she says, blushing – because “he wasn’t the first one” who had asked. I observed that this quote positively _screams_ “we met through an ‘introduction service’”. Not a dating service. More like the type of arrangement that was going on in [this classic SDMB thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=212249). Now I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Either way, it’s still funny to call her a mail-order bride. ---
