Why would Palin describe herself as “a pitbull with lipstick”? Aside from the fact that she equates herself with a female dog, she also chooses a breed responsible for killing or maiming more than 700 innocent children and adults over the past 25 or so years? What does it say about her self-image? She has called herself what no one else in public life or the media would dare to call her: a vicious, murdering bitch. I guess we oughta thank her for her honesty, huh?</p> Why? Why would Palin describe herself as “a pitbull with lipstick”?
