Sarah Palin The Unready Fatal Cancer
ROD Dreher responds to David Brooks’s take on Sarah Palin the Unready.
Oh, oh, oh, when McCain loses this thing, the recriminations orgy on the Right is going to resemble an all-you-can-eat chum buffet in a shark tank. In fact, as this Brooks interview demonstrates, the recriminations have already started. I have no doubt that David Brooks believes what he’s saying, but I do wonder if he would have said it publicly had he not been convinced by last night’s debate that McCain is going to lose this thing. For my part, I would not have chosen that cruel phrase — “a fatal cancer” — to describe Palin and what she represents. But I do think that she represents the dead end of sloganeering, attitudinizing and tribal identity politics among Republicans, as a substitute for compelling ideas and vision.
Palin - she’ hard not to like…

The line goes like this……..”you can dress that pig up and sell it”….the lipstick on a pig thing is all wrong - the Obama camp was trying to be clever by integrating the pit bull/lipstick/hockey Mom joke of the RNC speech Palin made w/ the age old “Let’s dress this pig up and sell it”….which is EXACTLY what the McPain slimeys are doing….but sadly, Tina Fey is the only one who is boosting Sarah Palin’s image - and will probably end up giving her a guest spot on SNL right after the general elections. Joe Six Pack, this one’s for you all “MAVERICK” ;-D

You can put lipstick on a pig…..
