I saw the kangaroo so I went for it. *L* Besides Koala bears remind me of Palin- cute to look out, nonthreatening from afar, but p*ss it off and you’ll have h*ll to pay.
From another thread, an Australian editorial:
Blinded by their anti-American prejudices, progressives outside the U.S. mistakenly treat Mrs. Palin as a country hick who has simply roused evangelicals and gun-loving and hunting Republicans. They miss the significance of her nomination. The Governor from Alaska is attracting so much positive attention outside the beltway of American politicsand indeed 10,000 miles away, where ordinary Australians are cheering her on even as their elites pour scorn on herbecause she is the real thing. She is a sassy, happy, straight-talking mother of five who has succeeded, not through affirmative action programs or family connections, but through sheer dint of hard work and conviction politics. If Australias left-wing elites dont understand Mrs. Palins attraction to middle America its because they dont or wont ever understand middle America.
