My favorite (not on the list) is Bible SpiceThe Nominees:
Sarah Barracuda. Actually Palin’s nickname from high school. Apparently based on her viciousness.
Caribou Barbie. Probably the most oft-used now; I believe it originated with the Stephanie Miller Show.
Moose-o-lini, alternatively Moose O’lini. Origin unknown.
Palin-Drone. Not 100% sure of the origin, but there’s actually a website by that name
Chick Cheney. This nickname appears to have actually originated as a generic nickname before Palin was chosen (and actually not a nickname for Palin, but a joke about Dick Cheney keeping the position), but based on what we know about Palin, it seems to fit her very appropriately.
Half-Baked Alaska. The phrase has been around for a while before Palin was selected (once actually being used in a discussion about McCain’s fading prospects to win the state of Alaska) but it appears to have come into wide use as a nickname for Sarah Palin around September 1st.
Blunder Woman. A common nickname that has been around for years (perhaps decades) based on its play on the name of the popular comic book character. Began being used as a nickname for Sarah Palin here as early as September 2nd.
Snowjob Squareglasses. First coined by New York Times op-ed columnist Charles M. Blow on September 19th in this column.
The Killa from Wasilla. Appears to have come into wide use on September 4th. There is also a website by that name.
Snark Shark. Coined by satirist Barry Crimmins on September 4th in this column.
