    Caribou Barbie and the Reptillian Brain

    She was "impessive" in the way a snake is impressive in it's cold-blooded, ambush-style attacks. It would have been more impressive if she had actually written the speech she gave and wasn't just the pretty, new mouthpiece for Karl Rove & Co.

    PPS - I didn't see a flag pin on her lapel!
