Country Music Star Tries To Pick Up Sarah Palin

The scene: John McCain, Sarah Palin, a NASCAR venue, in the capital of the Confederacy, tens of thousands of hardcore Republicans, a performance by country hobo Hank Williams Jr. If your skin had higher melanin levels than, say, Bob Barr's, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A SAFE DAY TRIP. Otherwise, it seemed to be a pleasant affair today in Richmond. Williams sung a delightful song for Sarah Palin about how she is a woman. The lyrics included, "How can you be so smart and be such a good lookin’ dish?" ABC News adds, "The song compares Palin to a 'momma bear in Idaho' protecting her cubs, ready to protect America." The senior senator from Idaho, in contrast, does not favor bears in Idaho protecting themselves. [ ABC News ]
