Palin’s shoes, and firing guns

UPDATE
CORRECTION: I just heard from the store who sold her the shoes!
You can read about it here

Larwyn has broken her silence to point to Sarah’s shoes, which Allahpundit posted:

Red shoes for the acceptance speech. Perfect.

As a public service, a quick search through Zappos.com yielded the Apepazza Musa – how appropriate:

As you may recall, McCain wears Ferragamos.

Well golly gee! Travis & Jonathan clutch their guns and their rifles:

Speaking of guns, the first unofficial McCain/Palin ad, via Lucianne, brings out the gun:

Flopping Aces takes aim at Palin’s Trooper’Gate: Beating MSM distortions to the truth. The WaPo refers to Monegan as ” a respected former chief of the Anchorage Police Department,” while Flopping Aces points out that Monegan fired for budget, recruiting and enforcement performance. The WaPo ends by saying

The allegation against Palin, “undercuts one of the points they are making that she is an ethical reformer,” said Democratic state Sen. Hollis French, who is managing a $100,000 investigation into the firing of Walter Monegan.

Let’s see:
1. Running on a clean-government campaign in 2006, Palin upset then-Governor Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary.
2. Ending the bridge to nowhere and the gubernatorial private jet.
vs firing Monegan, her appointee.

Weigh that against Ayers, Rezko And the Iraqi Billionaire, if you are all for hope and change.

Bonus:
Sarah Palin makes Chuck Norris tremble, at Palin facts:

Sarah Palin poses more danger of creating world-destroying black holes than the Large Hadron Collidor.

Sarah Palin makes Andrew Sullivan regret some key life choices.

Sarah Palin will give birth to the man who will lead humanity’s war against the machines.

Sarah Palin knows how old the Chinese gymnasts are.

Sarah Palin wears glasses lest her uncontrollable optic blasts slaughter everyone.

Sarah Palin’s presence in the lower 48 means the Arctic ice cap can finally return.

More, much more where that came from.

Methinks the Dems will suffer from a lot of Palin envy…

Gov. Palin, 44 years old, thus became the first woman named to a spot on a Republican ticket, and only the second woman to run on a major party ticket. “I am honored,” she said as she stood by a beaming Sen. McCain in her first few seconds in the national spotlight. (See an in-depth profile of Palin.)

She called herself an “average hockey mom,” and introduced her husband, Todd, and spoke of her five children. That includes her oldest son, Track, who is about to deploy to Iraq. “Todd and I are so proud of him and all the fine men and women serving this country in uniform,” she said. The crowd replied with chants of, “USA! USA!”

She also noted her efforts to fight corruption and highlighted her opposition to a much-derided congressional earmark for her state that Sen. McCain loves to hate as well. “I told Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ on that bridge to nowhere,” she said. Gov. Palin also took on her state’s political establishment that had been rocked by an FBI corruption investigation.

CNN

Campaigning for governor, she described herself as a “conservative Republican, a firm believer in free-market capitalism” and “a lifelong Alaskan who grew up hunting and fishing.”
