Forget lipstick -- what about Pit Bull?
Sarah Palin compared herself to a PitBull. Really? What do we know about PitBulls?

Some people find them adorable pets (apparently John McCain does), but they're unpredictable (probably the cause of poor breeding and poor training), they will attack without warning and without provocation, and they will savage their victims, who most often are children.

Is this what we want for the president of the United States?

In most countries, PitBulls have to be registered with the police and must be leashed and muzzled in public.

Not a bad idea for Sarah.

1. There are a good many Pit Bull lovers here
Misunderstood animals and Sarah added to the misunderstanding by calling herself one.

3. I know people love pit bulls, but
they still account for the greatest number of dog attacks on humans.

4. I dont believe that statement...
Generally, smaller dogs account for more attacks. Pit bulls account for lesser attacks, but they are usually more severe and more reported.

2. I spoke with a former Republican fund raiser this morning, and her take on
Palin is that she's the kind of person who thinks she knows everything, but really knows nothing. She'll do as she's told to do.

This is from a woman with lots of Republican connections, so I'd imagine her thoughts are being shared with her friends as well. She's an older lady, is now a registered Democrat (in the last couple of years), and supports Obama!
