Maver Icky

McCain Campiagn: Ooo bugga klor puft.
Media: Yup, yup, okay, yup.

Current headline at CNN.com: "Palin's Maverick Trail".

" the 44-year-old became known in Alaska as a popular maverick" . . .
"Some similarities between Palin and McCain were clear Friday -- both have been termed mavericks and both have taken on the GOP establishment at times."

She's a maverick. He's a maverick. Every Republican is a maverick!

What is she a maverick from?

Here's my favorite:

"On Fox News Sunday, McCain said Palin knows what it means to lead troops.
'She has been commander-in-chief of the Alaska Guard,' McCain said."

I wonder where she led them? Was there some horrible crisis in Alaska that I missed? Did Sarah Palin scoff at the pleas of her aides that she command from the safety of her command tent, and go out to the front lines to lead the troops to victory? Was it victory against all odds?

Another thing: I thought it was only some Fox chowder head that opined that she's good at foreign policy because Alaska is the closest state to Russia. I was wrong: Cindy McCain said it too. Colbert nailed that one last night - said Mt McKinley is closest point in America to outer space, so Palin's an expert on space exploration.
