While Joe Biden was doing the typical VP duties last night, appearing on every cable network post debate, you will never guess where the pitbull with lipstick was:
Perhaps it was coincidence that the song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” was playing as Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin worked the crowd at the Irish Pub last night.
But her amorous fans were definitely ready to let the moose-hunting Alaska governor rule.
“I expect her to be president of the United States one day,” said Suzanne Haney, the Republican leader for the 2nd Ward in South Philadelphia, who gave Palin a $2 bill for luck.
Palin appeared at the bar on 20th and Walnut streets last night to shake hands with her fans for about an hour before the first presidential debate. While the crowd inside was friendly, hundreds of people lined the street outside in protest with signs that read things like “Palin is Santorum With Lipstick.”
Now I can understand the need for some liquid confidence after that disastrous Couric interview, but with only a few days to go before the big debate, now might not be the best time to be doing kegstands in the Irish Pub.
