My fellow Tallahassean and blogger extraordinaire, eehard (see the link to his blog on this page) recently posted a blog entitled simply “Sarah Barracuda”. On it there is a very cute picture of a pit bull puppy, referring of course to Sarah Palin’s remark during her speech that the only difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull is lipstick.
Just so you know I can take a joke, here’s my assessment of the candidates and their memorable moments. John McCain: Noun, verb, POW. Sarah Palin: Noun, verb, Hockey mom. Barack Obama: Noun, verb, Change. Joe Biden: Noun, verb, noun, verb, noun verb, noun…
The pit bull with lipstick was funny, but my prediction is that it will not turn out to be the most memorable moment of her speech. Instead it will be the moment when she claimed she said “Thanks, but no thanks” to the Federal government for the earmarked funds for the “Bridge to Nowhere”. Where she claims that if Alaska wanted that bridge, they would build it themselves. It’s a total and blatant lie she won’t get away with.
A maverick who isn’t afraid to take on the demon “Special Interests”? Sarah Palin’s middle name is Special Interests. Just depends on which Special Interests you’re talking about. So far, it seems that the only Special Interests she’s opposed to are environmentalists, scientists, and wildlife experts.
