Q: Governor Palin, what is your position on the science of global warming and climate change?
A: Well, Senator McCain is a maverick, and I'm a maverick and a hockey mom, which is a lot like a pit bull with lipstick. I may not be answering your question the way you and the liberal media want me to answer it, but that's because I'm a maverick. And Senator McCain is a maverick, but without the lipstick. Did I mention that we're mavericks?
Maverick the most amazing man walking this earth. Someone who is constantly patient and always has a smile to give. If you are lucky enough to have a Maverick in your life never let him go. He is smart and handsome and always thinking of you. He will always put you first not to mention he is a sex god. He's immediately your best friend and will treat you like a queen in such away only a true King could.
