### Sarah Palin impersonation

On October 2, 2008, Lisa Ann was confirmed to star in *Who's Nailin' Paylin?* parodying 2008 Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The movie, produced by Larry Flynt's Hustler Video, portrays Lisa Ann in sex scenes with other female porn stars parodying well-known female political figures, such as Hillary Clinton (played by veteran porn star Nina Hartley) and Condoleezza Rice (played by Jada Fire). This movie was released on election day November 4, 2008.

On October 31, 2008 Hustler announced that Lisa Ann was going to star in *Obama is Nailin' Paylin* a scene that continued on the adventures of Lisa as Sarah Paylin except this time Barack Obama would be lampooned as well. The scene is only available through their Hustler members website and on the Blu-ray release of the movie. It is not available on the DVD release. This "bonus scene" was released on election eve November 3, 2008.
