While we're on the subject of Palins and words, it's worth noting that Sarah Palin's name is exceptionally rich in anagrams.  Here's a few of them:

A Sharp Nail     (All the better to scratch you with!)
Piranha Las       (Beats "Sarah Barracuda"?)
Anal Parish       (Where Sarah and Todd first met?)
Has Liar Nap    ("My water broke after the meeting."  "I pressured no-one to fire the trooper,")
Sharia  Plan       (Ooh, that's scary!  Could she be a Manchurian, sorry Persian, candidate?  Surely not!)
Ha! Slap Iran!   (There, you see?  That's the real McCain...I mean McCoy...What exactly do I mean?)

You get nothing half as good from the other candidates.  Check them out at
