Mean girl

Sarah Palin has a way of using "old boys" -- then dumping them when they become inconvenient.

    Ambitious? REALLY???

    "I had a hand in creating Sarah, but in the end she blew me out of the water," Stein said, sounding more wearily ironic than bitter. "Sarah's on a mission, she's an opportunist."

    Oh, ya think? She didn't even blink when asked to be McCain's running mate? Anyone who WASN'T driven by blind ambition would at least think about it for a minute.

    I've often used the "Mean Girl" image to describe Sarah Palin. It's apt.
