Sarah Palin finally is on Rush.

This is a mom, and the best part of the interview:

HH: Last question, Governor. Have you and Todd heard from your son? And how is it on your nerves having your son deployed?

SP: That little stinker, I guess he’s called his girlfriend a couple of times, but can you believe he hasn’t called his momma yet? He’s over there. They were just leaving Kuwait heading into Iraq, and I am just so extremely proud of Track, my son, and all of the men and women, of course, serving in the military. I’m proud that my son made this independent and very wise decision as such a young man at 18, deciding you know, he realized there’s something he can do to help, to contribute, to help protect our nation, and I couldn’t be more proud of him and all those who choose to serve in our military. They’re serving for the right reasons. God bless them, God love them.

That little stinker

Here is a picture of Sarah Palin that is a Pulitzer winner. As a semi-pro photographer, you cannot do much better than this.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin examines the New York Fire Department memorial on the side of Engine Company 10 next to the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan Sept. 25, 2008. During the governor’s unscheduled stop at ground zero, she took questions from reporters traveling with her for the first time since she joined the GOP ticket.

I am showing this photo as an editorial example of fine photography. It truly is outstanding.
