Quote Of The Day

Forget the quote they picked to headline a TimesOnLine report from Sarah Palin's home town of Wasilla: "She's like a moose going after a cabbage."

Meanwhile, at a table directly underneath one of the TVs, Lu Sackett, 70, wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the image of a grizzly bear and a floppy hat decorated with flag pins waved his burger in appreciation when Palin laid into the Democrats' tax plans.

"She's like a moose going after a cabbage," he marvelled.

You have to read quite a ways down to get to the real money quote from the woman who mistakenly claimed Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.

Among those who couldn't make it to the Tailgaters bar was Lynette Clark, chair of the Alaskan Independence Party, who last night issued an apology for incorrectly claiming that Palin was once a member of the pro-separatist group. In fact, only Todd Palin was ever a member.

Ms Clark lives just north of Fairbanks, a six hour drive from Wasilla. "My husband and I are both gold miners, and right now we have water flowing through our sluice box, and when that occurs we don't do a lot of socialisin'," she said.

No doubt many Americans can relate to that one ... somehow.

So she has the "sluice box" vote sewn up? Damn, I know Obama was counting on them to help him carry Michigan.

Bully for her, I say, that's right bully!

A woman and a leader who rightly gives glory to God. I just might be inclined to vote (R) this year after all.
