She kicked butt:
So this is "Pit bull Palin."
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin --in the GOP convention's most anticipated appearance -- asked the delegates Wednesday night who got their first look at John McCain's surprise pick as a running mate if they knew "the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull."
"Lipstick," said Palin.
"Pitbull Palin" was talking about herself as she made history by becoming the second female in U.S. history to be part of a major party presidential ticket.Palin did not flinch as she sliced, diced and mocked Barack Obama in her debut speech on a major stage. "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities," she said to a roar.
The hockey mom needled Obama for writing two memoirs and not passing much major legislation. The presidency, she dryly noted later, getting back to an important chapter in the Obama story, "is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery. This world of threats and dangers, it's not just a community, and it doesn't just need an organizer."
"Don't you think we made the right choice," said McCain, beaming when he popped on stage at the end of Palin's speech, in a stage visit the night before he makes his acceptance speech.
Yes John, you've made the right choice. In fact, the following image speaks for me (thanks to Morgan):
I am so pumped!
Sarah Palin is me and millions of other women.

This is hilarious. I just have to laugh at the current state of politics in this country. The choice of words in the speech is sophomoric to the point of embarrassment for the speaker. I know fifth graders with more mature skills of linguistic expression.

The Republicans have been putting lipstick on a pig for 8 years. Will the pitbull wearing lipstick keep us from noticing the pig?

When a little far for that one Dugan. Nice try though…have no idea WTF you’re babbling about…but nice try.
Too convoluted, keep it simple. Example; Obama’s is such a buffoon he thinks there’s 57 States. Oh, wait a minute…he actually said that. You get the idea though, no?
BTW, pig… lipstick? Are you referring to Hillary?

In July 2008 I had to have my 1 year old pitbull put down, because of vicious behavior toward children.
