I think it wasn't analyzed so much as the phrase popped out at him. After our experience yesterday, watching that poor little dog yelping in pain, feeling terrified and certain that he was about to have his face ripped off, the words "pit bull" take on a different meaning to us today. While he was posting, I asked him the topic. As soon as he said "Palin's pit bull comment," I immediately knew what he was going to say about it. We thought nothing much of her joke until we saw a pit bull in action. And then, upon seeing the words again a day later, neither of us could help but think about what we'd seen. Because our experience yesterday was absolutely NOT an amusing one and is still fresh in our minds.

And, yes. It matters what Palin and/or her speech writers use to describe her. It's of interest when considering their perspective and potential campaign direction.

In the endless series of "If the shoe was on the other foot," if Obama had compared himself to a pitbull, bet the farm that we'd see ads with split screens of him and Michael Vick and his dogs.

And everyone on the left would be talking about how ridiculous it was.

Honestly, I hope this becomes a huge media issue and the Obama campaign picks up on it.

"I was taken aback, really, " Biden said to his supporters. "Our government shouldn't be a pit bull. We should be the new yellow lab puppy that every child wants to open on Christmas - soft, cuddly, and loyal to the end. Who could resist that? Certainly not Ahmadinjed. It would be the key to our diplomacy."

Brilliant

Leo, PLEASE consider writing your own political column- you seem more in touch with the "Real World Conservatives" than any of the faces/voices/bloggonauts I've seen anywhere.

I'll second that. I get a lot more from his posts than many a talking head out in the media.

I saw reference this weekend to Sarah Palin's form of religion as "Christianism" and she a "Christianist" just like the Islamic fundamentalist extremists are called "Islamists" and not "Muslim." Interesting.

I see Obama as a golden retriever.
