McCain aides whose judgment I trust are impressed by Sarah Palin. One was particularly amused by this exchange: 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.: 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."

Ok, here’s the deal: either excerpt the Washington Post cartoon or forward your Bar Association registration number and an address where you will receive service on behalf of FR. Got it?
Before Obama used it, at least two other operatives did along with Bob Betchell. Why they obsess on Palin I do not understand. When they switch to McCain later they will have zero credibility left. Bless Wingman Sarah for taking the first flak. This may be her finest service to the campaign.
I think Mr. Obama is going to have to come out and denounce the name calling.
Bar-hack’s flippant remarks hit a nerve and were repulsive (the “old fish stinking” is as bad as the “lipstick”). It is, IMHO, just as odious IF someone in the McCain campaign had said something along the lines of: “well, you can take the boy out of the Chicago ‘hood but you just can’t take the ‘hood out of the boy!~”
