Best. Comment. Ever.

In the WAPO story "All About Sarah" :

"Having grown up in New England, I'm an ice hockey fan. Back in the early to mid-70s, teams had players called goons. The Boston Bruins' goon was Derek Sanderson. The goon, with no appreciable offensive skills, had only one job, and it was this - to pick a fight with the opponent's best player and have both end up in the penalty box, thereby giving the losing team a chance to win. When the goon came out, the crowd went wild.

Sarah Palin is the GOP's goon. No substance whatsoever, and engaged for no other reason than to win at any cost.
