Just hours after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin voiced her support for embattled Miss California Carrie Prejean, Biblical scholars noted that the alliance between the former and present beauty queens is prophesied in the Holy Scriptures.

While many observers have called the Palin-Prejean link-up predictable, few suspected that it was in fact predicted in The Book of Revelation.

“The unholy alliance between Sarah Palin and Carrie Prejean is explicitly stated in the Book of Revelation as a harbinger of the End of Days,” said the reverend Dr. Davis Logsdon, Dean of the University of Minnesota’s School of Divinity.  “They’re right in there, after the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”

But Dr. Logsdon was quick to point out that the first person to notice the Palin-Prejean reference in the Bible’s book of prophecy was actually the sixteenth-century seer Nostradamus, legendary for his predictive powers.

According to Dr. Logsdon, in 1555 Nostradamus predicted the alliance between the two right-wing beauties when he wrote, “The slayer of beasts shall meet the barer of breasts.”

When asked whether the alliance between Gov. Palin and Miss California means that the world is about to end, Dr. Logsdon was unequivocal: “That would be the best-case scenario.”
