“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.””
This should be incorporated in her speech tomorrow night.
As someone who has been very involved in youth hockey for over 30 years (and married to a “hockey mom”), there is another difference: A pit bull would not DARE raise its voice to a hockey mom.
If you ever have any doubts about what kindof special woman this is, imagine getting up for at 3 AM for a 6 AM game, 100 miles away at an outdoor rink. Then tell her she’s unqualified - then duck. Better yet, run.
"I am the governor of a big state where we don't run away and hide when things get rough. You may have read that my daughter is expecting a baby. She isn't married and is finishing high school. It wasn't what I wanted for my baby, but it is the way it is. I believe in abstinence. Had my daughter practiced it, she would not be pregnant now. I won't run away from my daughter, who I love, or my beliefs."
"I am an adult woman who is no one's victim. I am tough. I think America is finally ready for a strong woman as Vice President."
If she worked in the pit bull line after that, I bet a $1000 bucks it is the lead story on every network the following day.
