Sarah Palin!

“[Sarah Palin] was put on this earth to do two things: kill caribou and kick butt. She's all out of caribou.” Jonah Goldberg.


Yep, she killed in last night’s speech. And the only photo from the speech Time magazine could think of posting is her blowing a kiss? Are you freakin’ kidding me? Do they have Joe Biden in charge of the photo selections now? Daniel Henninger at the WSJ is right: “The impulse in acceptable political society to condescend to lovely, ebullient Sarah is palpable.” (Update: 2 hours after Time accompanied their story with a photo of Palin blowing a kiss from the podium, the photo was changed to her waving at the crowd. Maybe someone at Time reads GetAnchored? <grin>)


Cracked. Me. Up. “Bill” at The Thinklings links to Sarah Palin Facts. A good reflection of what the Palin pick has done for the McCain campaign. A few:

* Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point North

* Sarah Palin is what Willis was talkin bout

* When Sarah Palin booked a flight to Europe, the French immediately surrendered.

* Sarah Palin’s enemies are automatically added to the Endangered Species List

* Sarah Palin will give birth to the man who will lead humanity’s war against the machines.

Of course, not everyone's thrilled. Palin “is a real and present danger to the American left, and to the Obama candidacy," wrote Peggy Noonan. "She could become a transformative political presence. So they are going to have to kill her, and kill her quick. And it's going to be brutal. It's already getting there.”
