Sarah Palin, The Moose Hunting Barracuda, V.P. Nominee

My friend Dick MacDonald wrote the following;

Sarah Palin was the point Guard on the state’s winning basketball team. The team members nicknamed her “Barracuda”. She and her father are big “moose hunters”. Her son will be fighting in Iraq soon. She opted to keep her new baby son with “Down Syndrome” at the same time the woman was the Governor of Alaska. Her first act as Governor was to sell the Governor’s private jet. She won the race promising to clean up the corruption including destroying Republican Senator Ted Stevens and his “Bridge to Nowhere”. Today John McCain has chosen her to be the nominee for Vice-President of the United States.

She must be something special she has five kids and was runner-up in the Miss Alaska contest in 1984. She has the toughest job in America – a mother. She is married to her high school sweetheart and they celebrate their 20th anniversary today. Right at this moment she is speaking for the first time and she is one powerful speaker who will make mincemeat out of many of her detractors. She is a reformer with a record and she has all those attributes men celebrate - and sometime wither under - a phenomenal memory and an ability to make us tow that line we so often want to cross.

I am learning more about her as the minutes pass. My first impression is that we may have found our Margaret Thatcher. Her spirit shines through her face and the visage is much more attractive than Margaret’s. The 2008 race has become a lot more interesting just when you thought it couldn’t get any more interesting than Obama’s love fest at Mile High. She will be the pit bull for McCain and boy she sounds as if she will be effective. As a woman she will be a softening influence on his administration – she was Miss Congeniality in 1984.

She is a hockey mom and the wife of a commercial fisherman, a [lifetime] member of the NRA and a pro-life advocate. Can this election be more different. Her approval rating in Alaska is above 80% which is totally phenomenal in any state. Apparently her reputation with the people is that the countryside is littered with the bodies of those who challenged her. Wow! McCain you did it again. You found an attractive and effective women – I can’t wait to for this to all play out.

The left is imploding over at Kos (I refuse to link those dinks) and I’d wager the Obama campaign excreted enough clay based building blocks today to build a temple to the failure the Obama campaign is shaping up to be.
