Several left-wing blogs are all atwitter about a picture of Sarah Palin from a rally in Reno, Nev., Oct. 21 which shows her wearing a red, white and blue scarf with what appears to be donkeys on it. Anyone know the story behind this? I did a Google search and gave up after 5 pages of left-wing sites commenting on it.

Linked is one example from a site called Jezebel at http://jezebel.com/5067233/is-sarah-palin-making-an-ass-of-herself

You have to look closely but the figures on the scarf are of a female moose.

This kind!!!!!!!!!.......

Those look like horses to me, not donkeys.

I was at the rally and saw it around her neck. However, even though I was close to the front, I didn’t get to see it up close as the crowd was packed like sardines when she was signing autographs. I believe someone knitted it for her and she put it on her neck afterward. I will look through the photos I took and see if I can catch a glimpse of what was on the scarf.

Correction...I thought it was knitted, but upon closer examination it is a satin-type woven scarf. I looked at my close-up pic when she was signing tickets and it is indeed what is shown on the other website.

They look like donkeys/horses. Someone played a dirty trick indeed. Because of how chaotic it was at the end, she probably didn’t get a chance to notice and put it on as a gesture of goodwill. Unfortunate.

The offending scarf, and it has the word "VOTE" on it.

Obviously it's from Saks Fifth, and cost $2,900. </sarc>

Did she get that on her big shopping trip to Neiman Marcus?

blue scarf with what appears to be donkeys on it.

You obviously know nothing about Alaska. Those are caribou during the off season when they have no antlers, aka horns. During the "ON" season, they have antlers and are thus horny.......

She appeared onstage that day with (I think) 5 PUMAs. The scarf was a gift from a Democrat who is voting for McCain, and she was gracious enough to wear it. As far as I know she was not wearing it when she was onstage, only afterward in the palm-pressing. The photo was posted in Newsweek, and the idiot lefties actually think she is so dim that she does not know her own party mascot. Can you believe it?! I only wish stupid were painful.

Maybe Sarah is launching the "Cow Moose Party".

Is that what a female moose is called?

[ColoCdn]

Either cow moose, or ‘moosen’.

[Corin Stormhands]

Do you have a link to a story about that? I can use it for my blog.

[Defiant]

“Cow Moose Party” might not be the best name for a new political outfit, even if it evokes Teddy Roosevelt. It would be a good one for Peggy Noonan, though.

[Sisku Hanne]

NO link that I know of at this point, just using good old common sense. The PUMAs shared the stage with her that day, and there are lots of Dems for McCain at all of their rallies, often they are given spots very close to the podium.
This rally would have really attracted local PUMAs, specifically because of them being invited to share the podium. I read she did not have the scarf on when she gave her speech so it must not be hers. If it is not hers, it had to be given to her as a gift. People hand her gifts as she works the crowd after the speech. (My cousin gave her a children's book for Piper).
Personally I think it's a nice gesture of reaching across the aisle to embrace the disgruntled PUMAs. Without them, we very well might have no chance to win.

Maybe you can find out more info by calling the GOP headquarters in the county where the rally was held. You could scoop this story!

Those are rare PUMA mules, freed from the tyranny of the oppressive Obama-Odinga tribe. They are famous for their motto “Victory Over Tyranny Everywhere” (VOTE)

ping to Corin Stormhands' post 14.
Can you FReepmail the contact info for that local GOP headquarters?

Thanks for the best laugh I have had all day!

I’m following some of the P.U.M.A. blogs and find them very “articulate” on their feelings about Zerobama. Some of them would gladly do the Lorena Bobbit procedure on Baaaarrrrraaaccckkk.
Is there any polling on how many will in fact vote McCain-Palin? Do we have any that will admit it on FR?
