Does a US Marine in Afghanistan Really Have a Sarah Palin Tattoo on His Butt? You Bet’cha!
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers
We spend Memorial Day weekend honoring our heroes past and present, but I thought an “on the lighter side” story would be appropriate, provided it featured one of those heroes.
Via HotAirPundit, here’s one Marine who’s pretty impressed with “the hottest cougar in the Republican Party”:
So it is, however. Within minutes of meeting Marines who patrol this former Taliban stronghold from the Yellow Schoolhouse, a rundown former Afghan school here, I was asked my opinion about Palin, a hero to many politically conservative Americans. Before I had a chance to answer, however, I was introduced to fun-loving Gunnery Sgt. Benjamin Lepping’s left butt cheek.
Sure enough, there’s a realistic caricature of Palin there, perhaps four inches wide and five inches tall. She’s wearing her trademark glasses and smiling, her hair in a bun.
Lepping is attached to India Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. Lepping, a technician with 1st Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company out of Camp Pendleton, Calif., said he got the tattoo last June while on a routine assignment in Alaska. He and a few colleagues were sent there to clear ordnance from Air Force bombing ranges, and apparently had quite a bit of fun enjoying the nightlife after work each night.
“On the way back, I decided I wanted to get a tattoo that reminded me of Alaska, because we really had a good time,” said Lepping, currently attached to India Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. “I decided, ‘What could be better than getting a tattoo of the hottest cougar in the Republican Party?’”
So, how’s it look?
From this point on, it’s difficult to tell what will be Gunnery Sgt. Lepping’s greatest challenge: Fighting the Taliban, or trying to keep Joe McGinniss from tattooing his likeness on the neighboring cheek.

That looks like Palin in about 20 years. He should have gotten a better artist to do a more accurate picture. I would still hit that, but then again, I would hit anything that is female and under 160lbs.
That’s good stuff right there!
Hope he had a good time because when his girlfriend/sig other/wife gets a peek at that he’ll need to reenlist for life.
Gotta wonder what Mr. Palin is thinking about that tatoo as well….
He might be building another fence.
Well, the way I look at it, it is better than having this bho tattoo on any part of your body! It seems this Marine knows who stands by the military!

Ha! Too many comments come to mind, and I’m trying to keep things honorable this weekend… aside from showing a picture of a Marine’s ass of course…
As for the tattoo itself, I think it’s a good idea that the artist went the “caricature” route instead of trying to make it life-like, because nothing but bad things ever comes from that.
It seems this Marine knows who stands
bybehind the military!There, much better.
OregonConservative,
Thanks, you are right to edit my post.

Funny! Although an argument could be made that a likeness of Mr McGinniss is already neighboring that tattoo, because I’ve been referring to him as an a-hole for days now.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend folks, and God Bless America and all those who keep her free.
What could be dishonorable about a Marine’s ass? Wait. Don’t answer that.
The selection of location for the artwork intended to honor Palin is, well, questionable.
This cheeky Marine must be one of those “crack troops” we hear so much about!!
Yes, something on the lighter side.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Too much information.
Ha, I think the Governor has a good sense of humor and, like the rest of us, is willing to allow our Marines some fun.
*A better tattoo would be of P-BO’s smiling face around his rectal orafice; Two of a kind, you betcha!
Pander time.The Gunny has his own opinion and I agree but MM is just as hot as any in the Republican party. I don’t see any cougar in her or Sarah.
MM is a woman of mythical qualities. She is a dreamwoman times one thousand. She is the epitomy of everthing perfect and beautiful in the world. I thought I knew awesomeness, but it wasn’t until I knew of MM that I really understood the meaning of the word perfection.
Poor guy… I think he accidentally ended up with a drawing of Tina Fey!
Too much information
A Palin tattoo was $120. The Fey was only .30 cents. So, you know. Marines don’t make a lot of money…
Lord forgive me and bless the pygmy’s in Africa!
I have noticed that tattoo parlors tend to be in the bar district. All in good fun but he will have some ‘splanin to do. And bless the pygmy’s in Africa!
I’m sure he needs a good strong symbol on his asscheek to prevent the obamaites from trying to cornhole him!
This should protect him when DADT is removed from the military and all the John Effin Kerry wannabes come out of the woodwork.
Andrew Sullivan just posted that he is going to be looking into this man’s butt for a long time…there could be a hidden message regarding the paternity of Trig or he just likes the cut of that man’s jib!
Tattoo aside, that is one ugly pimply hairy cheek.
The tradition continues:
I agree. Let’s just hope that if Chris “Tingle Leg” Mathews has a similar tattoo of his idol it remains his own little secret.
ot/ Another Larry the Cable Guy lover!!!
Love it – Marine! Put that tatoo anywhere YOU want to….you earn the right every day you’re humpin’ the boonies with the Corp in the Afghan. Come home safely, tatoo and all.
