The female Pit Bull

Action Caption: Headline from London Daily Mail on-line:
Watch out Obama - I'm a pitbull in lipstick, says barnstorming Sarah Palin
By David Gardner Last updated at 10:12 AM on 04th September 2008

Sarah Palin recast herself as John McCain’s ‘pitbull in lipstick’ early today to defy her detractors and crown a rollercoaster week with a barnstorming speech to accept the Republican Party’s vice-presidential nomination.

~~~

After Sarah Palin's speech, I wondered... who wrote it for her? No matter. And I knew I was witnessing personal history, watching a fellow female pit bull. Love her. Hate her. She is HERE. Now. And she has brought John McCain back, like a phoenix, back from 2000. Back from being nowhere man, from the Cult of Obama.

Yes, my favorite quote when Ms. Palin, Gov. of Alaska made her speech at the Republican's convention last night (after Mr. Huckabee and Mr. Guiliani) was the sheer confidence and exuberance of her being a "Hockey Mom"

She said it before her speech, and it went right in to the text of her speech:

McCain aides whose judgment I trust are impressed by Sarah Palin. One was particularly amused by this exchange: A nervous young McCain staffer took it upon himself to explain to Palin the facts of life in a national campaign, the intense scrutiny she'd be under from the media, the viciousness of the assault that she'd be facing, etc.:

Palin: "Thanks for the warning. By the way, do you know what they say the difference is between a hockey mom and a Pit Bull?"

McCain aide: "No, Governor."

Palin: "A hockey mom wears lipstick."

Gov. Sarah Palin and I have something in common: you see, I have been called a "pit bull" many times in my career, the past 15 years, oh, my God. Why? I was opinionated -- still am--and tenacious in my career in consulting, with a steel will and tenacity for the needs of my federal clients. And I have had some mighty difficult clients: attorneys who do not want to pay a high enough retainer for me, and dangerous ones: attorneys who curry favor with lobbyists in DC and then go right into jail. (Tom Delay, Neil Volz, Duane Gibson, Terry Martin, Tony Rudy, George W. Bush, Bob Ney, Jack Abramoff --who led the hearings? John McCain!)

Gov. Sarah and I both have blue collar guys, we have long-term marriages to. My guy loves his motorcycles. He is Mr. Blue Collar, who does my books. I love my boy fiercely. Damn. She is me. damn ----OMG, I must be a REPUBLICAN! A rock - ribbed, steak loving, vodka--swilling pearl-wearing republican! I am a Jew Broad from the Northside of Chicago! Who woulda thunk this!

Sarah Palin is making an impression to many women -and surprisingly (to me), to men!. She is a comely pit bull, and that's how the dogs truly are. They are sweet animals, but when they get a hold of your leg, the simply do not let go------they just hold on........and on......and .......don't/won't let go of that leg!

My shade is plum, or deep claret. And I favor Max Factor.

Those Red Shoes - or, this ain't no Hillary Clinton. Methinks pure (HV) PR - PROMO Strategy for Presidency

Note to mah self: gotta get me those shoes! This chick has legs! I can say that! I am a chick!

--from the HUFFington Post-it note: (L M F A O !)*

Van Jones: Palin: You're No Hillary Clinton (((( now bear in mind, Jones is a man. And he is black. But like a good journo, he sought out the feminists. -- hvpr ))))

"One female friend did some quick internet research and said, "Sarah Palin has a great deal of surface appeal, at first. But once America's women look behind that cheerleader smile and see at her extreme social agenda, they will run the other direction."

Another said, "It just seems desperate and calculated."

She added, "Palin makes McCain look ancient, out-of-touch and totally yesterday. McCain makes her look like a perky kid. Each one dramatically and perfectly underscores the other's weakness. At least, nobody can criticize Obama's alleged youth and inexperience now. But this is not the best team America could produce, by any stretch."

John McCain has gone from maverick to "me too" -- trying to out-Democrat the Democrats and pick up some Hillary voters.

But it ain't working."

I would not be so sure, sir. 66 Days left to the finish line. Let's see what those lovely Gov. Sarah Palin legs can do. Shoes, do your stuff!

Fred Grandy, hometown hero, WMAL and his posse, Parks, Neiman 630 WMAL Salute!

If you don't listen to the crass and vulgar Stern, or Opie and Anthony, or placid Bill Press, or find Bill Bennett on some far-off syndicated or XM wasteland, what do you do, where do you turn in the DC Metro area? To WMAL's (630 AM) "Grandy & Andy" Of course! And who are Grandy, Andy and Neiman? (as in Seinfeld's "New-man"!) They are, respectively, Fred (yes, that Fred!) Grandy, former Congressman of IOWA, whose airport SUX (for Sioux City) and of the television show of my youth "The Love Boat" (where has-been stars board, but do not depart! Sort of a pergatory ship of show tunes!). Fred is the renaissance man, famously vegan, funny, bright, smart as a whip unless he mispronounces things he can't read without his glasses (I know the feeling!) and is the rudder of the show. I tune in for him to slam OBAMA, Hillary, Dick (he is) Cheney, The Montgomery County Public Schools, Immigration Issues between ICE and my neighboring town of Manassas, VA, being over 50, you name it, Fred chats it up! Then there's Andy Parks, who enjoyed Fred Thompson as much as I did (he nicknamed him "The Cobra", replete with 'snake charmer music'!) who has been broadcasting for around 30 years - Parks is a department store Santa Clause (sic) type with a rotund republican sensibility that says, 'back off my property or I will shoot you, you SOB!' - AND HE MEANS IT! Bryan Neiman rounds out the trio and the sidekick's sidekick, a foil as newsreader with younger senibility (33-35 ish) nice young man who does not remember Fred's inferences to 'Glenn Ford" and "Chuck Heston" - a pity that Neiman wasn't born in 1-9-5-6! LOL!

Here are some of the boyz "hot topics"

Here are just some of the stories Grandy & Andy are talking about:
