In her speech today, Gov. Palin used a new phrase that describes Washington DC perfectly: Cocktail Party.

Brilliant. That's one of Sarah's strengths. She can boil down an issue, and shine a light on liberal hypocrisy with one phrase, better than anyone out there.

The "Cocktail Party" label is a MOAB dropped squarely on the ruling class. Just brilliant.

She went further and contrasted it with the Tea party who is for the little guy. She is going straight for the reagan voter....

Hillbuzz is the one that came up with that...that is what they have been calling them for a long time.

I suspect she does read Hillbuzz.

Not only that, but it brings to mind all Hussein's little cocktail parties in the WH!

“death panel”
“cocktail party”

Palin’s two words have more impact than Obama’s big-words speeches.

Give me a break. We are seriously going to suggest she has coined the phrase "cocktail party". Hell, Rush has been saying that about the Washington DC crowd for years now...

And this notion of "fighting for the little guy". It is such garbage. We are grown adults. I don't need people in Washington "fighting for me" or suggesting that is what their role should be. It is suggesting weakness about the American people. It is wrapping oneself in some type of superhero role for the rest of us dimwitted fools.

But don't you understand that issues are much more complicated than that. You can't boil down weighty problems of everyday life to a bumpersticker slogan or a soundbite. Ivy League-strength intelligence is needed to nuance blah, blah, blah.

I crack myself up.
