South Carolina Senate candidate Alvin Greene may be campaigning on a proposal to revive the economy with his own line of action figures — but the Republicans have again headed off the Democrats in a key test of private-sector innovation. That's right: Even before a minor-league baseball team in South Carolina jury-rigged a line of Alvin Greene dolls, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had debuted in the form of a voice-enabled keychain, called, sensibly enough, Sarah Palin in Your Pocket.

The gadget is actually the latest in a line of novelty chains that debuted back in 1997. That year, New Orleans-based entrepreneur Steve Winn struck gold with a little toy called Cajun in Your Pocket, a keychain that spouts lines like "you gotta suck da head on dem der crawfish."

As Winn tells it, Sarah Palin was a natural move in his brand-extension strategy.

"I didn't know much about her politics, but she was always coming out with these great catchphrases," Winn told The Upshot in an interview. "Every time I would see her she came out with a great quote, so she fits perfectly with what I do for a living. She's adorable."

So Winn has created Sarah Palin in Your Pocket, featuring audio clips of Palin's many signature one-liners, including "We eat, therefore we hunt," "You can see Russia from Alaska," "Doesn't it split the cheechakos from the sourdoughs?" and, of course, "You know they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull: lipstick."

Is it me or is there a very dirty connotation to this?

That’s half their problem: Look at most of the “ladies” on the Left (Helen Thomas, Hillary, Bella Abzug, etc..)

I want the Sarah Palin action figure with the Kung-Fu Grip, like the old GI Joe dolls, so she can kick Bawney Fwankes ass.

I also want so accessories like a deer rifle and camo clothing so I can take her hunting with me! Don’t forget the moose field dressing kit!
