A Star Is Born ( Sarah Palin )

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Sarah Palin introduced herself to America last night as "just your average hockey mom," but to the roar of ecstatic Republican National Convention delegates her convention speech rose above the expectations birthed last week when John McCain stunned the nation by choosing the Alaska governor as his running mate.

Making it seem easy to deliver a speech watched by millions worldwide amid a media frenzy over her personal life, she told her story and framed the argument for a McCain-Palin White House, delivering carefully crafted one-liners to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's doorstep with a resolute smile.

McCain's assessment of the speech was clear as he appeared on stage afterward with Palin's husband Todd, their five children, and their pregnant teen daughter's fiancé.

"Don't you think we made the right choice for the next vice president of the United States?" McCain asked. "And what a beautiful family."

WND took a sampling of reaction from the convention floor after the speech, speaking with a dozen delegates, including Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, former Gov. George Allen of Virginia, Rep. Peter King of New York, former Rep. Bill McCollum of Florida and Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett.

Texas delegate Matt Hayes of Dallas seemed to typify the mood at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center.

"I'm more energized than I think I ever have been politically. I'm bubbling, I'm excited, I can't contain myself," he said.

Excellent. Sarah America. America’s Soccer Mom. You don’t get between a bear and her cubs.

.

.

Here’s how I’ve been bumping Palin/Obama threads.

Sung to the tune of “Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me.”

“Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”

I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee;
I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I come from Minnesota,
with my laptop on my knee.

I had a dream the other night,
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Obama dear,
A-coming for The Hill.
The smearing lie was in Duluth,
The tear was in his eye,
Said I, I’m coming for the truth
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

I fight in my pajamas,
It’s plain for all to see.
I aim to be the next Buckhead;
The media all hate me.
I fell in love with Sarah
When my sister bit a moose.
The Guvnor’s family ate it up
And then they set it loose.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

She loves her sons, she likes her guns,
and Trigonometry.
The media will jump the shark
When Juan makes history.
Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls
So controversially,
And Berg will knock Obama down
With friends of Hillary.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I soon will be in Hawaii,
And then I’ll look all ‘round,
And when I find his birth record,
I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find it,
This Freeper’ll surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee

But does she have a liscense for hunting liberal reporters? I think you can only take one per season unless it is a special hunt to thin out the herd.

Steyn’s take on NRO’s The Corner...

Credit where it’s due [Mark Steyn]

I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin - whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin - as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn’t worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.

How’s that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your “devoted husband John Edwards” routine?

I trust even now Maureen Dowd is working on a hilarious new column mocking proposed names for the Governor’s first grandchild. Perhaps Richard Cohen can just take the week off and they can rerun his insightful analysis comparing the Palin nomination to Caligula making his horse a consul. Whereas we sophisticates all know that if McCain were as smart as Obama he’d have nominated a dead horse to be his consul. No wait...

The country can now see that this is a woman who is anything but average.

Before leaving the house this morning I saw Biden on CNN. He looked scared to death. He said a canned response; “I didn't here this, that and the other thing in the speech”, but then he kept on commenting how gifted she is as a speaker, and that he, (get this), “may not be able to beat her in a debate”. Yes he said that and my jaw dropped

"To a person, every Republican I have talked to is excited about Sarah Palin as our nominee, and tonight just pushed it 10 times what it was before," he said. " … I feel sorry for Joe Biden."

LOL!!!

I don’t even listen to what the Lefties say any more...
I apply what my father used to say about politicians to every word that comes out of a Lefie’s mouth...
“If their lips are moving; they’re lying.” LOL

Cartoon of the year.

By the way, remember that famous Bloom County cartoon where they were hunting liberals?

...right now, where the liberals are in full frothing mode is on the 538 website, which I’ve been visiting, and is a supposed polling expert site, and which, a few weeks back, did seem like a breath of fresh air in these partisan battles...what a difference a few weeks make...it has devolved into hatred worse than anything I’ve seen on here (which, in fairness, I must say caused me to seek other sites in the first place...there’s only so many ways to say Obama is a lying POS without becoming tiresome)...so if you want a good laugh, or if you wish to deal with a full fledged stomach upset, go to 538.com and read what the lefties are saying about Sarah Palin...remarkable how politics are so hate driven...

I'm An American Woman

I can wash and feed the sled dogs and have their harness airin' out on the line
I can catch and smoke 2 dozen salmon 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of moose lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out, do my job and be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm an American woman!
W-O-M-A-N,
I'll say it again

I can rub & scrub the State House 'til it's shinin' like a dime
Nurse the baby, grease the 4 x 4, and powder my face at the same time
Get all bundled up, go out and hunt down a 1,000 pound grizzly bear, and then
Lay down for an hour, jump up, do my hair and start all over again

'Cause I'm an American woman!
W-O-M-A-N,
I'll say it again

If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If you're crooked' and lyin', I'll hunt you and catch you and give you the shiverin' fits

'Cause I'm an American woman!
W-O-M-A-N,
I'll say it again

I can stretch a greenback dollar bill from here to kingdom come!
I can drop the tax rate, pay the bills and still end up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make an evening dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you!

'Cause I'm an American woman!
W-O-M-A-N,
I'll say it again

'Cause I'm an American woman!
W-O-M-A-N,
I'll say it again
