Sarah Palin Rocks

She was a little rocky at first but then she came across wonderfully. She is genuine and folksy and just a pleasure to listen to. There is something to say for someone who has a wonderful and healthy sense of themself - in that respect she reminds me of President Reagan and how he presented himself in public.

As for Biden, there were times where he looked as if some of his butt hair plugs were bothering him.

These life long pols just don't get it: the approval ratings for Congress are in the tank - at least 75% of the American public disapproves of Congress. Some rankings indicate as low as 9% approval.

The majority party may be celebrating in Denver this week, but the percentage of voters who give the Democratic-dominated Congress good or excellent ratings has once again fallen to single digits.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just nine percent (9%) of Likely Voters give Congress positive ratings, while 51% say it's doing a poor job.

Senator Joe Biden likes to portray himself as a Congressional leader.

Nice job Joe.

You want a sash to go with that "In The Crapper" merit badge, Joe?

Sara's Got Stones

Sara seems to have found what Obama seems to have lost.

A pair.

In her first of three interviews with ABC News' Charles Gibson and the only interview since being picked by Sen. John McCain as his Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin categorized the Russian invasion of Georgia as "unacceptable" and warned of the threats from Islamic terrorists and a nuclear Iran.

The governor advocated for the admittance of Georgia and Ukraine into NATO.

When Gibson said if under the NATO treaty, the United States would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Palin responded: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.

"And we've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she told Gibson.

She is also commenting on a scenario for which she may have to face personal consequences.

It was also the day that Palin, the mother of five, attended a deployment ceremony for her oldest son, Track, an Army infantryman whose Stryker unit is being shipped off to Iraq later this month.

Obama's kids are practicing being bitter.

Now He Did It

From Politico:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra."You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."

"We've had enough of the same old thing."

The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."

Mark my words: she will make him cry.

Michelle, open your purse and give your man back his testicles. He's gonna need both of them to offer as sacrifice to appease the Alaskan Hockey Goddess - Saraswati - 'cause she's gonna swat his balls into 2012.

YEEEEE HAAAAAH!

The last hour of the convention had to leave a mark. Obama and company have spur marks on their cheeks after Hizzoner Guiliani and the Moosinator got through riding their asses all over the networks.

My favorite phrase of the night:

"Change is not a destination ... and Hope is not a strategy."

Adolph gave the Germans a change; Lenin and Stalin did the same for the Russians. Chairman Mao, Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot were also quite the instruments of change.

In fact, between all six of these Grand Masters of Change about 100 million people experienced life changing change themselves - they were murdered by their own government. Throw in Obama's good buddy Bill Ayers and his unrepentant penchant for "change" and we'd better hope that the lipstick on McCain's Alaskan Pitbull is hiding a fearsome pair of fangs.

It would seem so.
