Not your ordinary vice-presidential candidate

Here's Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, in the Anchorage office where she works as Governor of Alaska. According to this morning's New York Times, her father shot the grizzly bear.

And as long as I'm posting about pictures of Palin, here's one that I can't copy and save, but is worth a look. Check out the expression -- and the tiara -- on Palin's youngest daughter, Piper.

I sure was surprised! I was thinking Lieberman would do anything to get himself another veep and a shot at the white house.

I think that if I could have a woman-crush it would be on Sarah Palin!

She may be a looker, but she sure is a liar:

Okay, so she actually wanted all kinds of federal funding for public works projects in Alaska. Quite a contradiction from someone who also supported the Alaska Independence Party (secessionists):

To be fair, that last accusation may not be ENTIRELY true, but it's certainly pretty darn fishy. And she is still a liar when it comes to that stupid bridge. None of this is surprising, however, when dealing with a whole fleet of pragmatist politicians who say, (to quote a popular pin worn around congress, and no I'm not kidding) "Reality is negotiable."

Okay, so put your money where your mouth is and try to "negotiate" away a bus flying 55 mph down the road right at you. Pfft.

Another thing, all this criticism of the "Bridge to Nowhere" begs the question: would this somehow have been acceptable if it was a bridge to *somewhere*? Well they did it in the Soviet Union and it worked for them! Ohhh, wait, duh.

Sarah Palin has been caught with her principles down.

yeah? Well, once Sarah Palin bit the head off a live osprey snatched from the air as it was taking off with a fish she'd just caught.

Also, Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point north.

Are you sure you're not thinking about Chuck Norris?
