sarah degenhart update

That last entry was both a statement of fact and a little Internet experiment.
Sarah Degenhart, you see, was the second-to-last questioner at the town-hall presidential debate. She’s the one who asked the question about federal funding of abortions. She was also pretty cute, in a sad, wounded puppy kind of way.
Anyway, I was curious to see how many Googlehounds would be searching for information on her — so I threw her name up on crabwalk.
The answer: Lots of Googlehounds. Nearly 200 so far. Not bad, considering that her name was mentioned once on television and never spelled out. (I’m sure there are several dozen other folks out there searching for Sara Degenhart and Sarah Degenheart.) Anyway, this site tells us Sarah is a Catholic school teacher in St. Louis (and second-cousin-in-law to a blogger).
Wlady Pleszczynski of The American Spectator certainly seemed smitten: “But has there been a lovelier and sweeter young American at such an event than Sarah Degenhart, who asked the second pro-life question? You have to wonder what tax bracket she’ll end up in when she gets to heaven.” (Dude, there are taxes in heaven?)
The Most Freaky Degenhart Response award, however, goes to one Alfredo Jacobo Perez Gomez, who within a few hours of the debate’s conclusion had posted a fan page dedicated to her. “Thoughtful! Cute! Adorable! She has soul! Okay, politically she seems anti-choice but she’s still highly kissable!”
It’s kinda creepy — particularly the note up top that warns: “Don’t worry! It’s Just for fun.” That and the “if you are Sarah Degenhart” note at the bottom, in which Alfredo seems to think his site will convince Sarah to leave her husband and run away to San Francisco with him.

  1. Yeah, it sure is a creepy internet. I hear Sarah likes vanilla ice cream with saltines. Man, those other people are creepy.
