Sarah Palin loves the catchy slogans. At the 2008 Republican National Convention it was "drill, baby, drill!" Now it's "mama grizzlies" -- a phrase she uses to describe today's conservative female political candidates.
"If you thought pit bulls were tough, you don’t want to mess with mama grizzlies," said Palin at an anti-choice conference in May.
But Palin is no mama grizzly.
Female grizzly bears, you see, are aggressive only when threatened. Unlike Sarah Palin, the bears do not kill for sport. And, unlike Sarah Palin, the bears certainly wouldn't advocate for the unfettered oil drilling that threatens the future of their habitat.
So, if I were a real mama bear, I'd be insulted.
But then Palin, of course, wouldn't care. After all, what good is propaganda if you have to really think about it?
