If they want the pit bull moniker, they can have it.
LSPE and I were out yesterday morning and saw a pit bull nearly kill another dog. We walked into a little cheese store and there were some dogs with their owners milling around outside. After being inside for a few minutes, one of the dogs outside, a pit bull, attacked one of the other (smaller) dogs there, latching its jaws onto the dog's face and NOT letting go. It took several minutes of several people struggling with the two dogs (the smaller dog yelping in pain and terror the whole time) before someone was able to pry the pit bull's jaws open and free the other dog. LSPE and I were seriously afraid that the smaller dog was going to have it's face ripped off, or worse. Luckily, the only damage I saw after they were separated were some puncture wounds on it's snout, but we were literally shaking for a long time afterward.
I hadn't thought of Sarah Palin calling herself a pit bull until I logged in to this thread this morning, and it was jarring. Now it sounds to me like Sarah Palin is calling herself someone who viciously attacks the weak and helpless. Someone who will explode into violence with little or no provocation. And someone who is psychotic and needs to be put down. I know she didn't mean any of these things, and I don't think them of her, but wow, that line took on a whole new meaning for me this morning.
