Caribou Barbie... so hard to resist...

Sorry folks, but I'm afraid that I just had to jump on the political bandwagon something I usually care not to do, but like I said, I cannot resist. Resistance really is futile.

While the Federal election here in Canada is pretty dull, the situation south of our border (and north and west) is downright titillating by comparison!

I'm referring specifically to John McCain's choice of running mate, Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska. I'm not going to belabour the point but after watching part of the real interview between Katie Couric and then SNL brought back the brilliant Tina Fey to reprise her Palin caricature, I succumbed.

For a few weeks now, the name "Caribou Barbie" has been circulating as a none-too-complimentary description of Palin.

Quite fitting, given the woman apparently can field dress a moose! Heck, I would have difficulty attempting that on a mouse, never mind something the size of a 1960's-era Buick.

I love the image to the right which, by all accounts comes with everything you see here:

- A dead Caribou
- An M-16 rifle
- A snowmobile; and,
- Sexy librarian glasses

She even talks with such fun phrases like:

- "I'm a pit bull with lipstick!"
- "My family is off-limits!"
- "What is it the Vice President actually does?"
- "I can see Russia from my house!"

Imagine the money to be made if McCain succeeds in his run for the White House? And in a unique licensing deal, Palin and Mattel will make a frickin' fortune.

And Palin will be a heartbeat away from that big red button...

Who then, will have the last laugh?
