Wasn't this "pit bull in lipstick" chosen for her veracity and her appeal to the core Republican constituency? Isn't the most common response when asked of her appeal usually something like "she represents us". Why then is it surprising when racist taunts and epithets are screamed during her campaign stops? When reports surfaced of Palin turning on her handlers, why was anyone surprised? It's just her nature.Maybe McCain should have paid more attention to the Vick incident - he would have seen that it's dangerous to be involved with pit bull fights. He would have seen that the one pit bull would draw out many which are of the same breed.
Poor McCain - he's too old and fragile to control a female pit like Palin.

I love the pitbull turnaround.....I have been saying for over a month she is not to be trusted and if they take the white house heaven forbid....she will puch McCain down a flight of stairs.
Great Analogy! She apparently never heard "never bite the hand that feeds you" though.. Cause once the election is over. She's going to be homeless and hopefully euthanized.
Palin can be controlled beacuse she is inept
