“Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes time and annoys the pig.”
-Mark Twain

Comments on On Hockey Moms and Vice Presidents
Cheap shot and misquoted on top of that; Sarah Palin's comment was about pit bulls, not pigs.
1) A cheap shot? Yes it is. It's also ironic that we're speaking of a vice presidential candidate that has dealt largely in cheap shots.
2) Whom did I misquote? The only quote is from Mark Twain. But thanks for playin'
Yes, this was perhaps a bit mean-spirited. Welcome to election '08. Sorry it was lost on you.

Funny how a hard truth is considered a "cheap shot" depending on your political persuasion!
