Palin on difference between hockey mom and Pit Bull dog

Evidently Sarah Palin was warned about the potential for vicious attacks from McCain's opponents. She is no shrinking violet though. William Kristol posted this:

"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." Here is what she had to say,

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."

You have got to say she has chutzpah!

I am eagerly anticipating her speech tonight. Will we see the same confidence we saw in her on Friday?

Now you know you are my favorite stop on Santa's list Ms. Kyle, and I always make sure your stocking gets extra goodies. But I'm afraid Sarah is in for a tough go of it.

She may have chutzpah, but is she inedible? You can bet that old Joe Biden is just waiting for their debate where he fully intends to swallow her whole in front of 100 million people. And that before the first commercial break.

I just hope that McCain doesn't fall asleep during his debates with Obama!

Kyle, Palin is dynamite! What a speech!

Allow me to amend my previous comment by suggesting that it would be well for old Joe Biden to eat a little something prior to engaging Gov. Palin in debate!

Kyle's reply: She was something else. Joe Biden might be tempted to wear body armor and chain mail!

My Two Cents   

Elf, I'm so happy you amended your first comment.  I think Biden is the one who will be eaten alive!  She will need a little time to learn the Sunnis from the Shias, etc. but I'm confident she will hold her own. The CNN, MSNBC, etc. teams were blown away by Sarah's speech.  They could only eat crow last night.  I loved it! The critics better concentrate on issues, not teen-age pregnancy. (It was great to see that young couple with their heads held high, despite the attacks from the left.)I can now run to the polls with a huge smile, confident of our team. Now I'm sending my check to McCain.
