What Did We Learn About Sarah Palin At the Republican Convention, Her First Big Introduction To America?

--*She dislikes Washington types who know what they're doing when it comes to affairs that concern the national interest. People like lawyers and doctors and professional politicians and people who are well read.

--*She and her husband are from working families whose members are in unions. You know, those things that Ronald Reagan spent eight years trying to destroy

--*She doesn't think you can be president if all you've got on your resume is "community organizer." Hell, that's just one step up from Amway salesman. Does Barack Obama even have a degree in anything?

--*She's a soccer mom. She looks just like you. And that means YOU could run the country. Any of you stupid people.

--*She is proud of John McCain who is a maverick and bucks the system and is willing to stand up to oil companies, Republican leaders, special interests, social conservatives, lobbyists ... basically all the people who are in the hall tonight. Now that she thinks about it, what in the hell are you people cheering for?

--*She's happy to start filling Alaska full of holes drilling for oil so that all of you can feel better that you're not funding Arab terrorists ...

--*...even though drilling in Alaska wouldn't even bring oil prices down much, much less stop us from giving money to Hugo Chavez. ...

--*...she just knows how much you conservatives like ridiculous hypothetical imperatives such as "Wouldn't you kill a polar bear if it could feed a man's family?"

--* ... and "Wouldn't you torture an Arab man if you knew it could save a baby's life? Oh no, I guess YOU LIBERALS wouldn't!"

--*John McCain is OK with it evidently, since he caved in on the torture issue in a very unmaverick-like way.

--*Palin is willing to keep having babies to send overseas to fight the terrorists.

--*Palin and Hillary Clinton are practically the same person, since both of them have uteruses. Hint, hint, female Democrats!
