I remember when the Plymouth Barracuda (or as we called it, the Baccaruda) was the “toughest” car on the road and Sarah Palin once again proves that the Barracuda is still damn tough. Last night she did the unthinkable. After a week of being subjected to the most humiliating, nauseating, inhumane treatment by the oh-so self righteous and “impartial” DNC owned and operated press corps, after a week of being chewed on by George Soros’ trained monkey bloggers mindlessly marching in perfect Nazi lockstep, after five long agonizing days where she could only watch in horror as the “progressives” of the hyperventilating left savaged her teenage daughter and infant infant son, after all that it was Sarah’s turn.
And Sarah Palin came Packing.
Swept on to stage in St. Paul by an honor guard comprised of Mit Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Guliani, Governor Sarah Palin stepped up to the microphone, jacked a round in the chamber and opened fire. She slayed them with her smile, she blew them away with her intellect, she mowed down rows and rows of Alan Combs clones with the line “Being a mayor is kinda like being a community organizer, except you have actual responsibilities.”
Rush Limbaugh said it best: “This woman can be so cuddly and the next thing you know you have her fist buried in your gut.”
Sarah also gave Michelle Obama a well deserved bitch slap: “Unlike big city Chicago people, small town people are proud of America every single day.”
To be honest, I was a little afraid at the beginning of the speech because Sarah Palin is just so… nice. And she is nice, but she’s also a mother of 5, a woman whose house is under constant invasion by teenagers and toddlers. In that world nice has a razor edge to it. She gave her tormentors their one and only warning when she informed them that she’s a hockey mom. She reminded them that the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull is lipstick. Then she looked at the camera and showed her teeth. A smile; a smile like a velvet covered sledge hammer on the back swing.
Potential energy became kinetic and for the next 40 minutes she savaged those animals that tried so hard to destroy her and her family, and she did it with a smile. She reminded people that for all his bluster and bullshit the only actual accomplishments that Barak Hussein Obama has actually done was to write two books about himself. As for serving Chicagoens that put him in office he’s done nothing. She reminded us that she’s taken on Machine politics and won, while Obama is still in the spin cycle. And she’s roughly outlined an energy policy that the main difference between hers and obama’s is that hers deals with energy independence, his continues to pour American dollars into Saudi pockets and sell a few tire gauges along the way.
In Baseball parlance this was not a home run. This was a bases loaded bottom of the eleventh grand slam over the center field bleachers and right through the windshield of Joe Bidens pretentious Mercedes limo.
And she did it without a safety net – the teleprompter screwed up and she had to do that speech from memory and did it without a flaw. I am so proud of that woman, and so happy that John McCain picked her as his running mate. It only shows that he’s a much shrewder leader than many people gave him credit for (myself included)
Note to self: never underestimate the Captain.
Of course the only people in the press that she impressed were the ones with enough functioning brain cells to a) notice she was on tv, and b) listened to her.
There were quite a few that had a) covered, but not so many were capable of b). The haters started in first thing in the morning. The mindless drones of CNN and PMSNBC got their marching orders from Obama: whine and moan that someone wrote the speech for her. That kind of cramping and bloating would be more impressive if she was reading it off the teleprompter, but her teleprompter didn’t take applause breaks like she did so she lost that tool early on.
Now they’re whining about her hair. HER HAIR! “It’s out of date.” the brightest and the best of journalism tell us. If so then after watching last nights speech Obama should seriously consider a jheri curl.
I don’t worry about Sarah any more, the Barracuda was a tough car and Sarah Barracuda is a tough woman. She’ll do just fine against these mindless animals and I’ll pay good money to get a picture of her field dressing Alan Combs. Sarah Barracuda proves the history channel right: It’s Tougher In Alaska
