UPDATE and Breaking NEWS. Possible 'Rogue Palin' sighted off Malibu!

(Read the REAL article 'Rising Tension' from which I have shamelessly stolen quotes.

"Four Republicans close to Palin said she has decided increasingly to disregard the advice of the former Bush aides tasked to handle her, creating occasionally tense situations as she travels the country with them."

In the preceding pictures, we can see the Great White Palin, turning on her handlers with no warning, eating a cameraman and severely damaging the equipment they would have been using to film Palin's upcoming public appearance. Finally, she broke completely free of her handlers and they have been unable to bring her under control. According to a senior Republican, Palin had begun to "go rogue" in some of her public pronouncements and decisions.

"I think she'd like to go more rogue," he said."

Palin partisans say she chafed at the handling. "Her strategy was to be trustworthy and a team player during the convention and thereafter, but she felt completely mismanaged and mishandled and ill advised," the person said. "Recently, she's gone from relying on McCain advisers who were assigned to her to relying on her own instincts."

Instinctive behavior, especially in such a ruthless and impulsive creature, makes the Great White Palin exceedingly dangerous to approach.

Reliable sources report that the Rogue Palin has been seen cruising off L.A.'s Santa Monica Blvd, hoping to make it to Rodeo Drive before the 'Christmas Crush'. All residents are warned to remain clear of the area around Santa Monica Blvd up to North Rodeo Drive until this situation has been resolved by proper authorities.

Update: Two Malibu fishermen have reported a close encounter with the Great White Rogue Palin. They were not able to bring her on board after she took the bait ( a beige Ferragammo pump secured with piano wire) because she attacked the aft portion of the 40 foot boat and then broke free. The fishermen were able to recover "a tooth the size of a shot glass" from where it was embedded in the transom. DNA testing will be performed to determine if this is the real rogue Palin, or just look-alike, Tina Fey.

The fishermen, visibly shaken by the attack, stated that they would not make the attempt again. They advised that anyone foolhardy enough to do so will "need a bigger boat".
