Fair. Balanced. Dignified.
— Well, provided Reuters manages to have Palin checked for a secret earpiece — you know, just to be sure. And if that proves a dead end, perhaps Ms Ifill will be good enough to check Governor Palin’s oversized breeder pooter for some sort of walkie talkie connecting her directly to the Lord.
Because let’s face it: this queen of the doublewides may be remarkably stupid. But she’s remarkably stupid like a fox.
****
update: For those interested in instantaneous PR , the McCain campaign claims Biden lied 14 times.
****
update 2: My personal take is this: for the most part, women simply look better in make-up.
PERCEPTION IS REALITY, PEOPLE! GOOGLE IT!
— Oh. And ‘Eagleton…?’
That one’s for you, Joshua Micah Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma Marshall.
Nope.
Not gonna do it tonight.
I’ll read what others say; so that the bar can be kept free of low politics.
Mav will be usin’ flags to send message to her by semaphore…
Brit Hume. I’m a fan. But this close to his retirement, he may be loosening up a little too much. Leave the funny noises to Shep, Brit.
Phrank Phahrenkophph, poohbah. Paulkirk, poohbahsidekick.
Questions for Joey:
1. Sen. Biden. Obama says the fundamentals of our economy are NOT strong. What do you see as the fundamentals of our economy?
2. Sen Biden, how much money did YOU take from Fannie Mae?
I love this one. Joe might just say something like I NEVER TOOK ONE DIME FROM FANNIE MAE!
Did they check for speakers up Biden’s ass?
I think Pelosi is up Reid’s ass tonight, Dan.
Prediction for biggest sticking point: Women’s issues. Mostly b/c of VAWA vs. Palin’s stance on abortion.
If she wins some idiot will start suggesting she wasn’t in the cone of silence before the debate.
“Biden only has to stand aside and watch this train wreck.”
Joey IS the trainwreck
Ho-K, here we go
You can tell Gwen’s spent too much time in DC, owing to the aggressive ugliness of her garb.
You’re a good looking guy!
Biden wins coin toss. Elects to receive.
Sarah asks permission to call him “Joe”
Biden is going with the 8 year deregulation stuff…
Excess of deregulation, permitting Fannie to run wild . . .
The question still stands.
Focus on homeowners, check.
Hahahaha. Fannie & Freddie.
Great opening by Sarah
God, she looks like a tent.
Biden chops McCain’s statement to spin it against him
That’s you, Biden. Senator partisanship.
96% of votes along party lines.
What? Personal responsibility? RACIST!
Sarah “personal responsibility”
WHEN did Obama warn about subprime crisis??? Huh???
Joey: Baracky warned us.
Sistah Palin has gotten most of her slogan words in the correct order so far.
So far Gwen’s doing all right.
Did Biden just say “tax relief”???
Joey: Joey said in Indian accent “Joey I can’t afford it”
Whoa… Sarah IS on the attack
I can’t believe that the McCain camp let Palin on that stage ready to make “predatory lending” the prime mover for the credit crisis.
Holy Fuck. She’s set the ball…. and Biden in rebuttal is building a wall hermetically sealing off any connection between Dodd and Frank’s regulation, the CRA… Just damn.
McCain’s team is pretty damned weak, isn’t it? And they don’t read blogs. That much is stark.
Gwen Ifill’s body language is all Biden. She doesn’t like Palin, and it’s a deep disrespect kind of like. And she booted the order giving the first two responses to Biden.
Here comes the Palin lies.
Talk Straight- SARAH
“I may not answer the question the way you or the moderator might like…I’m going to speak directly to the American People”
OK!
“Your time is up, DEAR.”
Any questions?
Biden looks more like a used-car salesman than a senator. That teeth-y grin!
Biden LIES about taxes
Gwen to Sarah- Why you be hittin’ us black people with health care
Tmj
I hope someone is monitoring the time…
Too much botox on Biden. His face is immobile above his cheekbones. New look for him, I think. And he’s lying about taxes, yes.
*watch on my desk*
Sarah unpacks the $250,000 and hits it that it IS small businesses that pay their taxes through their 1040
Poor thing she can’t answer a question without being reminded of the question a second or third time.
She so smart for a hick-town liar.
*whoa* Palin thrives on WONK! Ifill is visibly irritated; man she dislikes the gov. Biden is going to have to throw some hate out there, I’m thinking.
Oh KEERIST Biden trying to claim middle-class creds!!
Fucking “fairness” out of the mouth of a Democrat means “sorry I forgot the lube” and anybody who can tie their own shoes knows that.
Biden is getting irrated because Sarah is drinking his milkshake
For Biden “fairness” is picking his neighbor’s pocket.
Reduce the dole, reduce government liability on/for people and the endless government mandates.
Biden?
Nope.
Palin?
Closer.
Quit giving money away and reconnect people to their obligations.
Yes Biden your light IS blinking.
oh, now he’s blinking… but yeah, kinda freaky looking. lots o’ makeup.
Is it just me or does Palin seem substantially better prepared than Biden? She looks nervous, but that seems to be fading.
Lower taxes! And raise the U.S. Govt. debt to $15-trillion, yeah to Bushonomics!
ITYM “picking all of his neighbors’ pockets equally”.
I admit I’m not watching the debate. I’m watching a western — “Firecreek” — with Stewart, Fonda, the guy who played Roscoe P. Coltrane on Dukes of Hazzard, and that googly-eyed guy who played the proctologist in the Cannonball Run movies.
So, you’d agree that Obama is going to raise taxes, his bullshit notwithstanding?
Yes RAISE TAXES FOR EVERYONE TO EXPAND THE ECONOMY!!
Biden tossed out “bridge to nowhere”… and when will Palin call him on his and Obama’s votes for the bridge, in the senate?
Ah, Biden Obama aren’t leaving ANYTHING out of the campaign promise bag.
He said “eliminate wasteful spending”. Does he know what party he’s in?
Cool, Joe. “Unpatriotic” may not work as well as he thinks it does.
Palin reminds that Obama voted for existing oil company subsidy/tax structure. Darn, she’s better on this subject than I expected.
Sweet. Palin is a good troop. Much better than Biden. He’s got that pride thing bubbling. He’s shitting numbers and playing class war.
Like it or not, Palin has cred in dealing directly with the “Fat Cats” and how to have them commit while Biden only knows how to take their money
Rob
Sarah is more than holding her own.
Because we need the biggest government we can possibly (not) afford!
Stewart’s limping through town, looking for Fonda, wearing a badge his kids made that says “Sheraf”.
Monkeys can’t figure out how Bush added over $5-trillion to our national debt since taking office….. taxes are evil, we need to borrow! Borrow money, that’s how REppublicans run a country!
I disagree in the strongest possible terms the McCain camp’s decision that the root cause for the credit crisis originated anywhere but congress.
Goddamnit, you cannot defeat an enemy you WILL NOT NAME.
Sure. That’s what they say when they want to slash the defense budget and pump up the cash flow to ACORN.
Baracky wrote a LETTER
Adjust the principal!? WTF
BULLSHIT. “Barak Obama pointed out two years ago that there was a subprime crisis.” by Biden.
Where’s the Bush initiative from 2003, requesting new oversight…? Madam Governor?
And how come no one mentioned the Community Reinvestment Act?
OH FUCK…. Biden wants BANKRUPTCY JUDGES TO LOWER A MORTGAGE’S PRINCIPAL????????
Biden just said, I’m paraphrasing here, ‘I can’t believe I’m losing to this chick.’
Hey Joey, speaking of homes, how many votes did those mortgagees get you and your party?
Loaf of bread, “low cost housing”, whatever.
Dole is dole and it only serves to keep senators in their seats
drill baby drill
The gal Stewart was having an affair with shot Fonda, now we get the hopeful (but sad) music.
Googly-eyed guy — Jack Elam
Sherrif Roscoe P. Coltrane — James Best
Now I gotta hunt up my camera.
Tactical mistake. Palin should not have allowed Biden to skate on his characterization of the relevance of Obama’s action then… Palin should not attempt to steer, but to answer.
Nice response on global warming Palin.
The crisis on Main Street caused the crisis on Wall Street, aw, I think Sister Sarah got her metaphors backwards.
When Sister Sarah speaks slogans suffer.
“Climate change is real, but I’m not going to attribute it all to man”
I think the technical term for that is “theft”.
Ah – climate change.
Hey Eyeful, seen the SUN lately?
Ever read up on cosmic radiation?
How about the real danger of particulates – not CO2?
Or did they not teach you that in J school?
Jack Elam – He could stand in Okie City, lay his finger on the interstate, and the tip will tickle a girl in a truck stop in central Kansas. Big hands, that man.

Monkeys can’t figure out how Bush added over $5-trillion to our national debt since taking office….. taxes are evil, we need to borrow! Borrow money, that’s how REppublicans run a country!”
Democrats: the party of fiscal responsibility. Even I can’t say that with a straight face.
There goes Biden. Ignoring the science and substituting his expert knowledge
Go JOE Go Joe!!!
Man made global warming. GO JOE!!! Goddamn, we know where the money is invested now, don’t we?
GoJoe, Go! All in on the Man IS BAD!!!
Biden worships at the Church of AGW… he just said the ONLY CAUSE of Climate Change is MAN!!!
No wonder Obama is pro-infanticide
Oh that ‘ol black magic dirty daemon coal
Clinton, flan, Clinton was President, look up his budget.
You know what? We’ve got an issues election after tonight. Finally. If McCain’s people will actually conduct their operations on that basis.
“Ten YEARS”. Stick to that, Joe.
yeah, I think it’s generally a stupid question. what’s true and what’s false? Who the hell knows!
Oops, did I mention Black Magic?
Oh – she’s (Ifill) is getting ready to redeem Joe’s ongoing “clean coal hell no” gaffe.
Ten years. Ten years. Ten years. How is that? Ten years. Damn stuff must be awful deep in the ground.
thor, you mean the clinton that expanded the CRA into an economic time bomb? Yeah, his administration was just full of biz whiz kidz.
Let me get this straight, Biden is the one supporting the Change ticket?
Joey Biden declared that global warming is, without question, man-made.
Show of hands? Who’s got initiative?
TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT!!??
Did I mention Clean Coal?
I meant….
And I stand by my assertion: Ifill is collaborating to rewrite Joe Biden’s history in opposition to ALL coal.
Palin is doing alright.
Biden just doubled down on his clean coal lies. I smell youtube in the morning.
I’ve got an idea, says Joe! Let’s kill our economy! Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Sarah is inside Joey’s loop
Same-sex benefits…
Almost like she drilled and then had a mission prep….
Damned SUVs, fucking up Mars, Jupiter, and the Earth’s climate multiple times over thousands of years.
Biden just went to “same sex marriage”
SSM Constitutional??
Obama/Biden are going to rule on the Constitution themselves? Well that should streamline things a bit.
Holy crap. Ifill is leaving issues and going for Lefty talking points. She must think that Biden is needing some help.
I love Joey! He’s TED BAXTER
Whoa, coal to bundle of sticks, that’s a helluva jumpshift
Wow. Joe, how’s the SSM question look like as Palin sails it over the fence?
You can’t fake “real”, and it’s killing Biden.
Biden just agreed with Sarah on SSM!!! HAHAHAH!
Small voice: was watching. I can’t take it no mo’. You all are made of sterner stuff.
Joe is waking up at last to the fact that he’s in it and it’s on
Bundle of sticks? Fasces?
Iraq … brings up surge!!
OHO. She’s got biden talkin trash to BarryO!
Bundle of cigs? I think bundle of sticks came first.
Biden’s on the 16 month timetable
They’re negotiating because of the surge, you ass!
Biden is quoting Obama
Bwahahahahahaha, BO plan “Run Away!”
Mccain was against the timeline because he didn’t want congress making military strategy decisions. Say it Palin. Pweeze?
Surge according to Palin. Good stuff.
Barak’s “plan”? You put a NUMBER ahead of any requirement for draw downs, you have told the enemy how long to hang out by the pool in Tehran.
Dems. Zero credibility in a fight that can’t be won by friendly judges. Fuckers.
which means he’s quoting lies
FERRIS WHEEL! SAY IT! please.
White flag of Surrender! YES
“you guys hosed the surge”
I love that line.
When is she going to tell Biden to “take off eh?”
Sarah using Biden’s quotes against him!!
She just called out the plan as straight up surrender?
Oh hell yes – keep on keep’n on.
BO not ready to be CIC
Oh, she’s quoting Biden’s anti-Obama talk all over the place. Man.
Biden “We will END this war”.
Sarah – “We WILL WIN THIS WAR”. Arrrgh.. she’s come close, calling them “white flag wavers”.
Calling him on his past rhetoric. Calling him on supporting Obama now, in light of Obama voting to cut off funding. Wow.
Should not have gone to Biden’s son. Bad form.
Biden is almost whining
Hey Joey, how does being under fire here in the debate compare to your helicopter ride?
Biden <3’s MCcain? SSM?
Not almost anymore, he’s rattled.
You want to lose this war? You have a candidate, America.
Stay in to win… well, there’s a candidate there, too.
Iran and Paw-KEE-stawn (Gwen’s pronouciation)
How misleading to suggest that Paks would attack Israel?
Nation building, Biden? Nation building?
Joe knows facts just not what to do with them
No, Al-Q is in many countries, including Somalia, where that ship is with the yellow cake or whatever
Well, Biden is sure that Iran doesn’t have a nuke, and can’t deploy one.
And Iraq is not a part of the war on terror. All those al Q guys who died in Anbar must have got on the wrong bus.
Fucking Democrats. I may have to take a break. My shit snorkle is only six feet long, and the surge valve leaks.
Sarah mentions Israel and Biden didn’t.
Unfortunately, Iran’s probably already got nukes. Shitty ones, like the yugo’s of nukes; but nukes nonetheless.
Palin is doing just fine
Obama’s “without preconditions” mentioned by Sarah and the picture of Biden looks like he’s sucking lemons…
Sarah just talked with Kissinger!!
She is far more effective delivering straight up information than Joe can ever be
Obama’s “without preconditions†mentioned by Sarah and the picture of Biden looks like he’s sucking lemons…
that’s the botox
That diplomacy question form Ifill was just horrible, I suspect she did an on the fly re-write of somehting much more biased.
Joe, you were on the stage when he said he would!
Biden lies about Obama’s preconditions!! BWHAHAHAHAH!!!
Talk, talk, talk.
Senator….
Biden’s getting mad. LOL
Looks like Joe’s getting a little hot under the collar.
Why? Biden’s son is an adult, and on the take.
I think old Joe’s feet is fixing to give out, he sure does want to sit down something awful.
How can he lie about Obama saying he would meet without preconditions when it was live on TV in a debate? Now that is some audacity.
Better Half thinks that Biden looks part Asian. Face-lift, perhaps?
Called Amedinejad insane. Calling Obama out on his “no preconditions diplomacy” she sounds a lot more in charge than Biden.
Ifill is confused. Loopy question invoking Kissinger and Palin… oooh hanging curve SMACK… Palin quotes Kissinger in correction to how Ifill characterized. Extra bases.
And Biden is … oh my goodness. Quoting sec states and saying Ahmadenijad isn’t in charge…
He brings up that Bush sent a diplomat to Iran after five years… And, Joe? What the fuck, dude? Where’s the ducks and bunnies from that meet? He’s tossing crap up for soundbites tomorrow.
Media can use them.
LOL and Palin looks cool as a cucumber. That’s too funny.
back to Palin about Israel
Is Joe getting beat up by a girl? Barack is gonna be angry.
it’s so you know he cares more.
What is this shit with Spain they keep bringing up? Are we at war with Spain? When I hear Joe talk I also hear STFU.
I mean I saw, with my own two eyes, Obama say he would meet with DinnerJacket without pre-conditions. I saw this. I am not crazy.
So far Palin seems to be holding her own, Biden’s geting animated. If nothing else changes it’s a win for Palin – the ‘inexperienced’ nobody goes toe to toe with a 30+ year Senator and looks strong – that’s gonna kill Joe.
Barack has passion for Israel? When did this happen?
I’m bigger Jew than you” – Joey
I got home about 20 minutes age, and Sarah is kicking ass and taking names.
Biden is pitiful.
We kicked hez out of Lebanon? Was I away for a decade?
How is it the smartest guy in the room can’t seem to get his shit straight?
This administration….you are running against McCain asshole not Bush.
We will change Iran’s policy with roses. lots of roses. And maybe some fruit baskets.
Mr. PInk – Joe Biden was on stage with Baracky when he said that.
>>>Why? Biden’s son is an adult, and on the take.
Understand that, but 1] too personal w/regard to Iraq, and 2] opens the door to Palin’s kids
Kicked Hizbollah out of the Leb? when?
heavy sigh from Joe!
Oooh, Hezbullah, look out if BO is elected.
Obiden will have strong negotiations.
She just kicked Biden in the teeth.
JD
Its been mentioned upthread that he had botox on his forehead..and it looks like it because each time he tries to raise eyebrows the middle of his forehead never moves, just wrinkles up on the sides… almost Klingon like
My wife is yelling at Biden.
“Go ask a Marine!” she says.
Astonishing.
I think this is where Biden passes out, then tomorrow claims he’s suffering from ‘really badass migraines’ and Obama picks up Hillary.
Hey, McCain camp: “A war is a series of catastrophes resulting in victory”. Write that down.
I wish the governor hadn’t been programmed to pop out that bucket of talking points right there.
And yes, it is a loser for Biden to run against Bush. He’s not the candidate.
“looking backwards?” Nice call by Coach Gwenn.
Biden’s lo-light reel is gonna be too long for a single TV ad…
Wife just neailed “Past is prolog.”
Bushbushbushbush…
Since he joined TUCC. Hey — he didn’t specify the nature of the passion, right?
Biden getting very rattled
eh, Ifill mentioned both their children in the question.
Nuclear trigger question is moot. Palin should not answer. Policy: retaliation in kind, in overwhelming force. fin.
Not sure about Palin’s Nuke answer
air raiding villages! YES!!!
Sarah: “Obama’s statement is reckless”
Man, all those Left talking points coming back to bite Joe.
Facts matter!
I was under fire when that chopper went down
[…] nice bid of bias. Reuters apparently pushed to have Governor Palin inspected for hidden earpieces. How ridiculous. I wonder if they checked Biden for any traces of animal tranquilizer to keep his crazy gaffe-prone […]
Biden never looks at the camera. Palin’s talking right into it. I keep waiting for her to throw something at me. Kinda scary.
And hot. -ish.
Gonna switch to domestic policy, maybe
Biden … “the surge won’t work in Afghanistan”
then “the general says we need more troops”
WHAT???
The surge won’t work in Afghanistan, we need more troops and government building? WTF?
Biden is not covering himself in glory tonight.
Who the hell is Joe talking to?
Whoops, lost his time stamp
Baracky passed legislation that tells terrorists that they cannot have nuclear weapons. Wow. He sure showed them.
He keeps exhaling really loudly. HAHA. Get on the treadmill joe.
I just saw Biden do the weirdest scowl… Sarah is getting under his skin.
Nunn-Lugar gets Obambi’s help! Yay Obambi, spine stiffener!
Another heavy sigh.
What school does the left learn this in?
Need to check a course abstract or two
Petraeus is going to have something to say about Afghan strategy in a few weeks.
B Moe
My husband caught that too… “what the fuck” seems the comment tonight in our livingroom where it regards Slo Joe
We are still in Bosnia, assface.
Bosniaks????
Joe is telling me what the CG in Afghanistan said… but I’d like to know the name, the location where I can find the text. Not that I’m calling Biden a goddamned liar. Or anything like that.
Telling me that McCain didn’t vote for a test ban. Good. Telling me what Obama said… too bad he’s never done anything…
Wow. Palin shoved that “no surge” right back down his throat. Named the general… and Biden agreed.
We’ve spent more in the last three weeks>……. Joe, how much did congress spend on travel this last three weeks?
Now Ifill serves up one for Biden – “intervention”. My goodness. Did she rehearse with him?
yeah, saw that and chuckled. but also, Palin said “okay” something. WHO IS SHE TALKING TO?!
Joe is jumping all over the world now.
Oh, he finally looked at the camera.
BOSNIAKS!!!!
OMG! FEAR TEH BOSNIAKS!!!1111!!!!
Did he just say “Bosniacs”?
Joe adopts Hillary’s line, gave the power so he couldn’t use it.
Bosniacs. Priceless. Sound like band groupies.
The Al Gore School of Charm.
it’s okay. there’s some history there.
You voted for… you opposed… OMG I am liking this lady. LOL.
More war, says Joe! Kill kill kill!
I had bosniacs once. Had to have the house tented and fogged. Good thing though – the termite bond covered it.
Oh man, it’s so obvious I’m an outsider….
“Golly, I AM such a DC outsider cause I just don’t get this ‘i was before it before i was agin it'”
LOVE her!!
I haven’t seen a jab that wicked from a face that sweet since Sugar Ray Leonard. She is hammering him.
Wasn’t the Bosniac Steve Job’s first computer project?
now Biden is trying to run against Cheney…
If I ever patent an idea, I’m going to name it the bosniac. Doesn’t matter what it is.
I almost wish I were watching it, to see that line delivered.
I’m late to the party here, but is the Obama/Biden ticket promising more war? Have they run that past the base?
I want to be a Bosniak pundit
No, Bosniak was Steve Jobs’ partner when he formed Apple.
Sarah is the first one to say the word “evil”
GODBOTHERER!!
You know, I am reconsidering my aggravation at Palin’s infrequent but earnest forays away from the questions. She’s hanging some heavy facts out there.
Joe – there’s no place on the planet we can’t intervene and make it stick. Fuckweasel. Difference is we need to intervene where OUR interests are at stake.
Jeezus. I see a U.S. mission to deliver refrigeration units to Tierra Del Fuego for penguins suffering from AGW. Lock up the U.S. Atlantic fleet long enough for Venezuela to take Miami… thanks, President Obama….
Yes Joe, God forbid there would ever be a Biden administration
biden just answered that entire question without looking at the camera. hi joey, we’re out here.
the “heartbeat away” and Biden goes into the Obama Pandering mode.
Oh, there he is. They had to change angles, wave a stuffed animal over the camera to get his attention, and then go back to the camera.
Oh, do reinstate me! Pleasey pleasy please, reinstate me.
Bosniacs or Animaniacs? Discuss.
Biden does not seem very comfortable.
Yeah, and she was talking about communists. Heads are exploding as we speak.
Hmmm, how telling.
Most important election since 1932
What’s old Joey so pissed off about?
Joey as President would be alot of laughs.
She winked at me!!
Maybe Ifill could fill us in on some of the specific differences between Biden and Obama? Nah, that might sound imparital…
“Hey government, just get out of my way”
YES
“heartbeat”. Biden doing melodrama. Bears strong resemblance to Barbara Stanwyck there, if you’ve taken enough acid.
Joe, there’s nobody on the planet that believes a Democrat would have done half what Bush has done in pursuit of OBL. Who’s been dead since 2002, give or take.
Cry for me, Joe.
Palin is staking out her turf, in the event of “the event of”. Wow.
GET THE HELL OFF “The greed of wall street” if you won’t cal the congress on its criminal decades’ worth of interference.
I’m calling this for Palin so far.
Gov. Palin is doing alright.
Can I respond?
When I’m at Home Depot….
The guy that lives across the street is a big Obama supporter. He was drunk and yelling in his driveway before the debate even started. 10 to 1 he’s kicking his livingroom furniture around right now. LOL
Joey spends alot time @ HOME DEPOT!
Joey Hairplugs is a regular at Home Depot. I totally believe that.
Hey Joe, a ShLoad of Dems have gotten rich over the last 8 years
The Animaniacs were the hereditary rulers of the nation of “Anvilania”, which bordered on the nations of Likus and Dunlikus.
somewhat OT, but related… Special Report on Fox News has been running reports about the new African Command. today was sea bees building water treatment thingers or plumbing or something.
SCRANTON!
Biden still trying his “I’m just a dude from the neighborhood.”
Scranton!
Palin is in the driver seat. “Joe, looking back again at BUSH”….
Go for the gold Sarah – schools need to teach not indoctrinate
Kill the NEA
Sarah just got appreciative chuckles from the office “doggone it, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards”
Damn Joe, speaking of school, you’re get an edjumnahkashun
“Say it ain’t so Joe, there you go lookin’ backwards again!”
Down goes Biden!
Down goes Biden!
Down goes Biden!
There you go again, Joe. Doggone it, let’s look forward.
“shout out to the 3rd graders … extra credit for watching this debate”
LOVE HER
Okay, why does the frame on this page keep sliding to the left? GAH
she needed to hammer that home.
My. Kids. Go. To. Public. School.
Anvilania was invaded by Dunlikus, and the Animaniacs fought them off. Primarily by dropping anvils on the ruler of Anvilania, but also by having Perry Coma sing the Anvilania national anthem.
Oh, and the Animaniacs once drove Saddam Hussein insane.
Sarah gets the out and out laugh
When Joe is pissed, he pulls out the Scranton card.
Yours is a lame attempt at a joke too. Great line.
Palin got into politics over her local PTA originally. I understand why Ifill is staying away.
“lame attempt at a joke you/me.” Sweeeeet. She’d be cute in a swimsuit. Or working over a mugger with his own tire iron.
*twinkly smile*
Yeah, Joe needs to get back to eduation…
That’d go well.
Kiss my ring, Joe, said Barack.
Sarah’s dad is a teacher, Joe’s family was strictly white collar no matter how much he yanks that Scranton card
Hmmm, the Cheny VP precedent
I was listening to this on the radio and now i’m watching it and I’ve gotta say she comes off a lot better on TV. The camera absolutely loves her, and she can throw a barb with a 10,000 watt smile.
Isn’t that the sort of thing that nishi was so fond of telling us wins elections these days?
That was a smooth dodge to the Cheney question – which was total bullshit anyway.
Is he picking his teeth?
Why is Biden running against Bush and Cheney?
Evile Cheny
Joey really is a greasey fuck, ain’t he?
Nice thing to bring Cheney in there you biased bitch. I am sure that will be in your fuckin book too.
“Cheney is the most dangerous VP in history”
what?
” I have a history of getting things done in the U.S. Senate”.
You know what, I’d bet there are at least five CEO’s out there that might be convinced to go in front of cameras to explain what happened to our credit market. And who made it inevitable.
Ifill poses the split question to Palin – VP’s office executive AND or OR or BOTH legislative… think it was intended to be a killer, but Palin answered it well.
Biden fears Cheney. Hmmm. Loser. Joe, you didn’t disagree with Cheney’s position.
Joe breaks out the AntiCheney tinfoil, LMFAO!
UNITARY EXECUTIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just hate, no biggie.
So Joe, you embrace a lame VP slot.
Seems appropriate.
For you.
ok I finished my work and now I am listening but I didn’t get dressed up at all. Gwen, who writes books about Baracky but doesn’t tell the debate commission about her vested interest in a Baracky victory, is asking whether Governor Palin will be secretive when she’s VP. Fuck her.
Is he picking his teeth?
I doubt they picked him.
Conventional wisdom question. I’m listening on radio now; is Ifill looking as frustrated as she sounds, when she looks at Palin?
“Comment by ExDip on 10/2 @ 8:08 pm #
Bosniacs or Animaniacs? Discuss.”
“Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?”
“Uh, I think so, Brain, but balancing a family and a career … ooh, it’s all too much for me.”
“Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?”
“Uh … yeah, Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants our size?”
“Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?”
“Uh, I think so Brain, but I can’t memorize a whole opera in Yiddish.”

“I think so Brain, but if they called them Sad Meals kids wouldn’t buy

Pardon me while impose my narrative, says Gweeen.
That question was served up on a silver platter for the Sunday media shows. Palin=Cheney Palin=Cheney. WTF this shit is pissing me off.
“What is your Achilles heel?”
Are you fucking kidding me?
Palin: “Taking people like you seriously, maybe?”
Duh.
Oh, and one time they ran into Pablo Picasso, and Wakko noticed that Picasso had a monogrammed smock: “You’ve got ‘PP’ on your smock!” “DEESGUSTING!”
I LOL’d.
“America is a nation of exceptional-ism”
Yup, Palin will do just fine picking up the Evile veep mantel
On the VP, I’ll bet a lot of women noticed that Biden kept saying “he”
I wonder if Michelle is slapping the hell out of Barracky right now for picking this stiff.
Holy crap, she broke out that bit at just the right time.
Oh, we just got the self-deprecating Joey Biden. Smooth!
My excessive passion!
Biden “my achilles heel is my excessive passion”
oh GAG
Ahhhh… did snarkass thor run away when his boy started getting his ass handed to him by a girl?
ROFL!!!
Governor Palin makes being vice president a fun and exciting idea. Joey Hairplugs mostly seems to look forward to people listening to him talk for real.
Joe has a kitchen table too.
And a wrist band.
Biden’s tired. Palin is just getting warmed out.
She’s showed a bit of steel, but in a very measured delivery.
Confirm Joe tired. He’s almost wistful in characterizing his senatorial CV. Talking points talking points…
The “I’m too passionate” failing. Baracky had a pretty good crack on that at the expense of Silky and Hillary, IIRC.
Big paycheck and a nice house?
Biden just imploded.
Are you going to cry now Joe?
“My Achilles heel is my excessive passion…”
Ifell: “No, that’s Senator Kennedy’s…what’s yours?”
Oh, look! Joey’s crying!
CRYING????
he did shoot a guy in the face.
Palin is using the biased framing of the question(wisdom says your weakness is experience) to her advantage. It gave her an excuse to outline her experience.
I shed a retrospective tear for Joe. Retrospectively.
Biden just surrendered. Frowny face joey. Frowny face.
Biden is repeating himself and “me,too”ing
“maverick” does nothing for me… but maybe the media is regretting setting up that brand now. Ya think?
THERE’S NO CRYING IN THE SENATE!!!
…OR BASEBALL!!!
Can Palin promise to never say Maverick again please?
I hate the maverick thing. It reminds me of that shitty Mel Gibson film about card players in the old west. Gah. Stop.
Why am I seeing the aneurysm scene from Dave with Joe?
Oh, please tell me that’s for real.
Palin has been holding back – she knows it’s time to seal the deal.
Stand up Chuck!
Biden is losing it! Get him Sarah, he is on the ropes!
Biden is now trying again to tie McCain and Bush and trashing his Maverick
he’s going negative out of desperation
He was a maverick on the surge. I seem to recall…
Go JOE!!! he’s telling all the votes that McCain voted THAT WON’T PISS OFF REPUBLICAN base folks…lol…lol.
Wife just asked if Joe said “How are we going to heat the car?”
Gwen steps in, fuck that bitch! Biden starts to get hot and she fucking calls the match!
That would be nice. I get it already.
How ARE we going to heat the car? Shit. I hadn’t given it any thought.
did you hear Rush’s suggestion for Palin related to that? She should say, “Congrats on the book Ms. Ifill, and I’m sorry to hear about your ankle and I won’t ask you to stand up.” or something like that.
Judge Who?
Biden is trashing BORK???
James Garner is better looking than John McCain though.
Damn, I’m glad the constitution put that thinger in there about paying my heating bills this winter. It gets f-ing cold down here in Florida.
Palin needs to remind people that She and McCain are not lawyers, unlike both their opponents.
He really does cling to the past like a milkbone.
Joe will have to stand up for Chuck since he won’t be able to sit down for a while after this spanking
That is a most excellent point, ThomasD.
Joey Plugs takes credit for destroying commity in judicial nomination hearings, finally. Way to go Joe.
Single issue you had to change to become VP.
Joe Biden: Holy Moly. Reaffirming that ideology is the litmus test. I can vote for McCain with peace in my heart. Does this mean their internals show that the fringe kook base STILL isn’t on board??? Otherwise, that hurts more than helps. Among anyone right of say Ted Kennedy.
Palin: Meh. Let some budgets go by because it was necessary.
Haha. Ifill just called them”number two”.
Mike Who?
Oh, that’s just pathetic. I mean, her music isn’t to everyone’s taste, but I thought “Army of Me” rocked.
What? Oh…. never mind.
Sarah, you’re going to mention his 3rd most liberal Senator status, right?
Joey Hairplugs takes the fun a lot out of fundamental I think.
I have never questioned anothers motives…
EXCEPT FOR THAT EVIL FUCKING CHENEY!!!!!!
This is turning out much better than I expected.
I’m sorry, but nothing Bjork has ever done has ‘rocked.’
Biden is stuck on Bjork?
She’s a smiling little chipmunk with underwire-enhanced tittays! Yeah! Airheads for Sarah!
Lower taxes creates jobs! Duuuuuuuh, and that’s why we’ve created so many the last eight years, duuuuuuh.
Smile!
“you do what I did as a governor”
Sarah reminding everyone that she has more executive experience than Biden or Barry
*cackling*
BECAUSE OF THE TOXIC HAIRPLUGS!!!!
And we draw to a close.
Sarah up 5, more?
Biden’s sounding canned. flat.
Palin: Walk the walk. Dem/Rep/Independent – for the greater good.
Wow. She’s a Republican. Imagine that.
Issues election. Can’t wait to see how media covers this.
talking to the people again.
OK, so maybe it was just the intro. I can only say I was living in Detroit at the time.
Sarah just did a Reagan “I want to speak directly to the American people without the MSM filter”
Okay, this thing is sliding so far to the left I’m going to lose the ability to read comments soon. poo
chirp all you want, thor…
Your boy is getting owned by historical proportions.
I’m tittayed Joey-six-pack who knows where the hurts are! Band-aides for boo-boo-s!
MSM in the morning: There was a debate last night? Sorry, we must have missed it.
i love earth intruders and also big time sensuality but that movie soundtrack I thought was creepy from that I hate America movie where she gets executed for something. Also, Sugarcubes.
Sarah finishes on a positive, uplifting message… Biden is closing with a negative…
Poor thor! That nasty little hobbit governor has run off with his his Preceious O.
That was a deep hole down at the WTC wasn’t it?
Joey turns to “the neighborhood” and Scranton when he gets pissed.
Oh, that’s easy: “Palin showed a shallow command of the issues, opting instead for sound bites and petty attacks. Biden, in contrast, showed the calm, cool command of facts that come from nearly four decades in the Senate.”
Or are you expecting them to be honest?
maybe he has some tape on his forehead… holding his eyebrows up like that…. there’s something dark on the sides of his head… I think the makeup is melting…
shank
Firefox
thor, your boy Joe was just got the strap-on.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!
Biden is a big grump and he’s throwing his Daddy what loved him in Baracky’s face.
Ah heck, tell us a beating up story from the playground Joey
Joey: I lived in Scranton
Biden “Champ get up” oh gag
Never seen such a perfect example of a political party machine tool – thank you Joe.
Weak close for the hairplugs.
Palin – Freedom takes work. And worth fighting for.
Yah, Palin on points. Better than five I am thinking.
Biden – credibility. Fuck you, Joe. “fundamental change”. Yes, Marxism would be a shift, agreed. talking points, talking points, dignity respect, cue “once upon a time in America music”.
No fucking way appeal to my respect for individual freedom and then invoke Barak Obama, Senator.
Palin on points, more on style.
Ha, highschool prom is just like President, right!
Punkage complete! Alaskan Airhead defined! The Republican stupidity is being set out on curb!
Finally.
WHY ARE THEY LEAVING HER MIKE ON?
It’s been real people. See you next time. I think I might bump it up to two tabs for the next one too. My trip was starting to go a little harsh halfway through. I was playing billiards on the flat marble expanse of bidens forehead. The pockets were indeed tight.
NPR says Sarah was “certainly colloquial” and that Biden explained very complex foreign policy issues.
Sarah owned this one
Because they hate her.
Duh.
From the sounds of it, I bet they wished they’d turned Biden’s mic off halfway through.
Palin won that. But the Thors in this world? Go back to bullying and child raping…..OOPS!!! I was asked not to say that, my mistake
Comment by thor on 10/2 @ 8:33 pm #
You poor pitiful biden.
As outright liars go Plugs is pretty good at it.
Is “colloquial” NPR code-speak for “sounded like a hick”? Those people have serious snobbery issues.
He was soo bad. They could easily put out some youtube’s calling him on his lies, but I’m not sure it’s even necessary at this point.
I like they left her mic on, that was a very sincere “You’re Good!” from Biden, might have helped score some points.
Whatever lets you sleep at night, thor…
What’s funny is the more you slam on Palin, the worse it makes Biden look.
Funny as hell his getting his ass handed to him by such twit, heh?
Stop by again, thur, when you need to reinforce what a total tool you are.
have you seen Dancer in the Dark? I lurved it. depressing as hell, but it really held my attention and touched me. It’s one of those I think about occasionally.
If NPR thinks anything even remotely complex was discussed tonight snobbery is not their problem.
I am still sitting in my computer chair dumfounded. I mean, a couple months ago I saw on my TV Obama say “Yes I will meet with Ackmedinijad without preconditions”. Now today I hear he did not say that. Am I crazy????????????????????????? WTF is going on. Is this out and out lie going to be on any TV show, or newspaper? What is wrong with this fuckin picture.
Those people have serious snobbery issues.
Heh, a while back i’m in Kentucky, listening to a report on NPR about on the job injuries on farms, and how they often involve shildren of the farm owner. They are interviewing the little daughter of a farmer, she’s helping with chores in the barn. The reporter asks ‘so do your animals have names?’ The girl responds as innocent as fresh snow ‘yeah, cows.’
Big thank you for Troll Hammer. PBUY and wootz!
Hahaha! We wuv our wittle airwead! Will have a big parade and if there’s enough balloons, everything will be pwerfect in Wasilla! Shout out to my bro!
Pounded. Sarah got pounded. The cartoon that is Sister Palin was in full bloom. Winky, winky!
“Who needs a fresh ale…getcha sump’in there Joe” he asked colloquially?
Want some cheese with whine, thor. Loser. Even if Obama wins, you’ll still be a pathetic loser.
She really held back on Dem complicity in the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac debacle and present crisis. Are they holding fire because of the bailout?
Thor has gotten into mamma’s cough syrup again. Bad Thor. Bad bad Thor. Back to your room and put the happy music back on.
ThomasD, that made me laugh
NPR – that Mara cooze – Mara thinks the election is all about George Bush and Sarah is wrong to criticize Biden for looking backwards. That’s pretty much all she said in all her blah blah blah. Sarah must have done really well. But it sounds like they’re headed to a consensus that Palin was “well-rehearsed.” They’re so creepy.
Yes. Dancer in the Dark. Awful music and the movie was all about making America appear cruel and evil. Didn’t like. It was neat how they did it though. I liked the music when I saw the film and got the soundtrack and hated it.
SarahW –
I think yes on holding back. Mostly b/c it may scotch any deal forthcoming, like Pelosi’s speech did.
Haven’t read the comments, but taking a guess:
Nishi: Palin is short; THEOCRAT CREATIONISM IQ CUDLIPS
Thor: hick titties ditz hick titties Rethuglican lies O!
(and hick titties. Vagina)
TELL ME WHAT I WON, JOHNNY!
Hmm, she gets the alchy vote at AB.
I bet Sarah could really whip thor’s pasty ass. I don’t care if he says he is 6’4″ 250 pounds–she could literally whip his ass.
I’m a case of nerves. I kept switching the debate off. Then going back. Palin got better. Biden seemed to crumple. He seemed on the verge of tears about a third of the time.
Which Sarah, Oh, the good one.
Too complicated an exposition SarahW. Gotta keep it simple for the occasional tuners in.
The only thing that got pounded tonight, thur, was your dick.
You shouldn’t beat that sucker like it owes you money while blogging…
Not a good mix.
AirheadHammer 2.0 is awesome! It’s as if I’m the only one here! Dauuuuuey!
I don’t blame the PW trollhammer lamers, getting faced is never fun.
Reaction tomorrow – Nothing to see here, move along.
Matt Funfetti or whatever from the Weekly Standard is supposed to be the analyst from the right and he’s bagging the shit out of Palin. Who is this fetid manpussy? He says Biden won and Palin talked too much about Reagan. He has issues. NPR does this on purpose. Meanwhile EJ Dionne is just building on Funfetti’s critique.
SarahW, you should have seen me alone in my car laughing hysterically hurtling down the Mountain Parkway (although there are posted speed limits in KY, it would appear they are merely vague suggestions.)
Gotta go to sleeeep
/night
For those interested, the McCain camp claims Biden lied 14 times:
Have at it.
ok this is way too pravda, you Americans and your NPR. I will have to turn this off and click on things on the Internet.
“Comment by thor on 10/2 @ 8:41 pm #
Hahaha! We wuv our wittle airwead!”
No, fur, like I said, Joe got pounded with a strapon.
Does that thought give you a woody?
The focus group dude on Fox says Palin hit it out of the park- is predicting a major shake-up in the polls.
oh, on Continetti, those are the marks of a conservative’s bona fides, hf. If you wanna talk on the NPR or get a gig like D. Brooks, you gotta be willing to put your boot heel on your father’s neck.
I guess I missed that bit. or it was tolerable. oh well.
I did not mention her Sister Sarah’s itchy vagina, not until now that is.
You, Sir, should be emailing me one of those teddybear Hallmark e-cards. Hurt! I’m hurting here!
Ale, anyone?
I was so looking forward to seeing the inside of a discarded can of whoop-ass. I know. I set my expectations way too high.
I found the populist ‘Crack Down on those Evil Wall Street Types’ a little too common, especially since it was coming from Palin, and it’s utter bullshit.
There’s something to be said about “being Reagan” as opposed to harkening back to him. But I’ll take the Reagan I can get.
Methinks Joey is not really happy right now …
Incontinetti … he’s used the word fascinating like eleven times. Matt is too easily fascinated I think.
429 SarahW
I don’t know exactly when it happened, but fairly early on Slo Joe awoke to the fact that the godbotherer from Wasilly was not living down to his expectations.
My husband, fairly non-political, pointed out how rattled and upset Biden was getting.
SarahW:
“She really held back on Dem complicity in the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac debacle and present crisis. Are they holding fire because of the bailout?”
I am at a loss why McCain doesn’t stake the fight out with the war on one side and Congress on the other. Truly.
Wall Street adapted to congressional corruption and survived longer than even they thought they would. The facts are there, the history is there, the NAMES are there.
I’m worried; I am intimately familiar with the concept that you can’t solve any problem that you won’t admit you have. But heartened for the same reason, too.
A month is a long time. And Barak truly is a non entity. Media will end up taking him out themselves if there is any justice in this crazy world.
I hope the house kills the bail out.
I’m gonna watch this from the top now. I’ll be in my bunk.
Speaking of itchy, the human Candidiasis bugged out early tonight, which was nice of her.
And that’s exactly my problem with how Sarah is performing. She absolutely has to know at least a dozen of those things right off the top of her head, because I’m as dumb as a bag of hammers, and I know them. So why not just let her beat the crap out of Joe on live TV? Why answer the lies in a press release that nobody on ?BC will every read?
Let. Sarah. Be. Sarah.
Is Mr. Reynolds’ site down?
That’s a big list o’ lies.
” Hurt! I’m hurting here!”
It’s Sarah’s strapon. fur.
Told ya!
Og, and the MSM is calling it for Joe.
What a fucking joke.
PJM sites seem to have gone wonky lately.
Insty won’t load for me.
You, O’Brain, are not worthy of licking Sarah Palin’s strap-on! Much less the real thing!
TmjUtah – I hope the house kills the bail out
– At this point, so do I.
Wow. Poll on Drudge, Palin 74/Biden 24.
Over a hundred thousand respondents. Not scientific… but beats a 1000 sample, I think, as far as +/- goes, doesn’t it?
Oh, wait. Spoke too soon.
All the insiders will call it for Joe. Including the Beltway bunch on the right, who have met the man, know stuff about his family, have shared a joke with him. Sarah is just so not right for the club.
No, I think Biden said Prolog
Sarah is an expert on prologues. Alaska has a lot of timber.
meh, What would she say? and Joe would just say, “No, that’s not what I said/did” like with the “Obama didn’t say he’d meet with Ajad” we’ll have to wait and roll the tape.
I’d hire her.
Darleen – Really. I don’t always trust my perceptions, so I’m glad to hear your husband’s.
“You, O’Brain, are not worthy of licking Sarah Palin’s strap-on! Much less the real thing!”
Like I said, a poor, pitiful, repitative biden.
Loooooo
Serrrrrr.
No, Sarah does not fit in the club.
She fits in a skirt.
Comment by Semanticleo on 10/2 @ 8:58 pm #
Do you speak English?
She totally owned him. Look, the expectations for her were so low, and Biden so thoroughly the presumptive victor – honestly, I was worried. And she owned his ass. Biden heaved one heavy sigh, then remembered Al Gore, and sucked it up. He rambled, he dodged -she had him on the ropes defending O and his own record about half the time. And all the while, she just grinned and beamed and “God bless ya’d”. Loved it.
After seeing her performance tonight, I’m very prolog
cleo is wimpering, s/he’s channeling Joe’s forehead
Jesus. I think Pajamas Media paid Steve Green to “drunkblog” the debate.
I need out of this line of work.
“Comment by Semanticleo on 10/2 @ 8:57 pm #
Quote of the night ‘The Past is Prologue’ Biden.”
Plagerising yet another writer, of course.
BT, seman, do you speak English?
Just wondering.
mom was listening on the radio… wasn’t impressed with Palin. said she didn’t seem to answer most of the questions, just veered off into whatever she wanted to talk about.
which, yeah, but some of the questions were stupid.
Global Warming Model Driven Panic? Cause that’s crap for science you got there, otherwise.
Keith Olbermann says Sister Palin lied 168-and-1-half times.
Take that, el Jeffe!
Personally I wasn’t listening, muted the volume, instead I focused on her panty lines. Choices, life is about choices.
“cleo is wimpering, s/he’s channeling Joe’s forehead”
The forehead with the big red mark that read “ClueBatâ„¢”. Backwards.
Insty is pounding Biden over the Vice President duties stuff.
Comment by thor on 10/2 @ 9:04 pm #
Loooooo
Serrrrrr.
Jeff,
Vodkadude was not a tenth as entertaining as this discussion thread, and the PJM site was not responsive about half of the time. So, booze and pay aside, this is a better show.
Someone should sockpuppet on the Feminist sites pointing out Joe saying “he” repeatedly when referring to the VP.
Well, there was a question about what to do about the despair…
Steven Green has great hair.
NPR didn’t say anything about what an unethical skank Ifill is.
A story is going around that Sarah Palin raped kits, but the young fox’s mother denied any such charge.
Has Sister Palin let go of Biden’s pant leg yet?
Hey cleo did you figure out yet that a negative plus a negative is still a negative?
Hey thor did you realize that you are a lame pretentious pseudo-intellecutal name-dropping piece of shit loser that everyone laughs at while you fuck your blow up doll russian mail-order whore you pathetic sack of shit pedantic loser?
And an extra $250. Plus looks like they’ll be using him for the TV bidness.
If I had money I’d start my own media conglomerate and hire me. I think I’d do good work.
I think Ifill got pretty effectively neutralized, although some of the questions were obviously skewed.
Hey, Ifill will be the judge of Ifill, thank you very much.
Wow oh wowwie wow, the Dodgers are up 6-0 in the sixth. Bummer, Chicagoans. Yeah, I’m looking at you, George Will, you prick.
X-cell-ent performance…
And what about Joey B. and the VP discussion? WTF Joe! You’re both a lawyer and a Senator and you’re not aware that the VP is the President of the Senate, WTF!!!
*Ahem*
“The formal powers and role of the vice president are limited by the Constitution to becoming President should the President become unable to serve (e.g. due to the death, resignation, or medical impairment of the President) and acting as the presiding officer of the U.S. Senate. As President of the Senate, the Vice President has two primary duties: to cast a vote in the event of a Senate deadlock and to preside over and certify the official vote count of the U.S. Electoral College…”
“As President of the Senate (Article I, Section 3), the vice president oversees procedural matters and may cast a tie-breaking vote. There is a strong convention within the U.S. Senate that the vice president not use his position as President of the Senate to influence the passage of legislation or act in a partisan manner, except in the case of breaking tie votes. As President of the Senate, John Adams cast twenty-nine tie-breaking votesâ€â€a record that no successor except for John C. Calhoun ever threatened. His votes protected the president’s sole authority over the removal of appointees, influenced the location of the national capital, and prevented war with Great Britain. On at least one occasion he persuaded senators to vote against legislation that he opposed, and he frequently lectured the Senate on procedural and policy matters. Adams’ political views and his active role in the Senate made him a natural target for critics of the Washington administration. Toward the end of his first term, as a result of a threatened resolution that would have silenced him except for procedural and policy matters, he began to exercise more restraint in the hope of realizing the goal shared by many of his successors: election in his own right as president of the United States of America…
‘Nuff said…
Go Sarah!
It’s the hair I think, Jeff. He has door-opening hair.
silver spoon Biden, 30+ years in DC, kept trying to play that Scranton, corner diner, working class card…
and Sarah is the real deal
he looked lost because he couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working
That diplomacy question has to go down as one of the most poorly designed and executed questions in modern politics. I still think it was something else entirely up until the moment it was offered.
Great comment thread. You guys are friggin’ hilarious.
I watched it with the wife, so I’m just getting caught up now.
Yeah,Sarah was filling Joey’s ass full of broadhead hunting arrows and breaking off the shafts.
Something I haven’t seen anyone mention:
I didn’t quite catch what was said, but it sounded to me like Biden said that Baracky wouldn’t make any decisions without Joey Hairplugs being right there in the room. If so, that’s a damning quote.
Is the transcript up anywhere?
Fucking Cubs are toast.
There’s a picture on Drudge highlighting Governor Palin’s stature. You can see how Joey Hairplugs got down on one knee to shake her hand. It’s very patronizing.
I’m growing my hair back as we speak. But I still think if I get one of them PJM mic advertisements and one of them director’s chairs, I’d be in the fucking driver’s seat!
I knew it! It was either a skateboard or a media conglomerate that I was going to send you for Christmas.
I will click and click I promise. SarahW is right you are very natural with video.
I eat skateboarders for protein.
what? are they made of bacon?
My sister, who is totally in the bag for O!, just spent 15 minutes trying to convince me the debate was a tie. I suspect we will hear lots o that tomorrow.
That friend of Palin’s, Linda Lingle, the governor of Hawaii looks to be a good candidate for something higher one day soon, too.
um. no. did you see her at the convention? zzzzzz
Well, no matter how they try to spin this the pressure has all passed over to Obama. Now he’s the one unde the gun at the next debate.
Have I made a single typo free post this evening?
I think nto.
Apparently even Excitable Andi is calling it for Sarah.
The Dems will have to cheat to win in Nov
and they have already started in Ohio
that’s in addition to all the free Obama campaigning aka “news” coverage by the MSM.
Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years, the season’s gifting diversity probably allows for a stocking full of skateboarder jerky plus a media conglomerate or two.
I saw her somewheres, maggie, and liked what I saw, though I can’t say it was the convention. I think it was much earlier than that in a TV interview or somemott or other. She looked way smart, competent and decent to me, like a Seven Sisters grad with a conscience.
oops. NPR forgot to mention how historic it was that an historically oppressed woman who is almost the same as a minority was standing up there as a vice presidential candidate. That’s almost inexplicable to where I can’t explain how they could overlook that.
Cleo, I can’t wait for Tina Fey’s interpretation come Saturday.
That’s sort of sad with the viewing of the Saturday night broadcast network television in 2008.
Tomorrow “American Carol” opens.
To be sure, we will all be waiting to get confirmation of our judgment from the Teenster. She’s got her fingers on the pulse of the coolest, does the Feygirl.
Palin had that deer in the headlights thing going ON. Biden came off as likeable and authoritative even if he was a bit condescending at times. Hell I don’t know if he was lying or not. Probably, but I’ve only got a 30 second attention span and I’ll quit listening while you’re trying to prove it to me.
Maybe. But I think NPR has a double standard Semanticleo person, and that they’re really a lot insincere about a lot of things.
Hmm, Reno, any chance you’re actually a Senator from Illinois?
Krauthammer Said Joe won on points, after admitting Palin was excellent. Something about if you scored from a transcript or something.
He looked very uncomfortable and maybe he usually looks like that, but I don’t know what is going on with his eyes. Trying to burn off crows feet? What?
Anyway, the goal, according to the talking heads, was “did she do what she needed to do?” I see exceeding wildest expectations.
Biden, while no doubt an accomplished statesman, came off as someone that’s been in the senate for a lifetime, and decorum castes principle to the shadows.
That’s sort of… puerile I think Semanticleo person. The VP debate is just not high-stakes in the real world. Nothing that happened tonight will be dispositive so you just come across as sort of cheesey gratuitous. One thing for real though is that the media hasn’t wanted to talk about drilling the energies and to get that in front of millions of people is a big damn setback for Baracky’s media and you know what? That’s ok. Issue-wise I think that’s the only one that broadly resonated … the rest are just too stale (Iraq, global warming, gay weddings) or abstruse (tax policy).
There’s never shame in tossing poo. Unless it’s at hobos or homeless people, then you’re a bit too Republican.
The biggest loser of tonight was Joe Biden’s forehead, and his goat, I think.
(ht happyfeet)
oh. I wrote that before you were all ashamed and all. Sorry.
Biden
Doesn’t know the role of the VP
called the citizens of Bosnia “Bosniacs”
and not one MSM “analyst” will nail him on it.
PJ Media? They’re doing what they do best at times like this — going toes up. Sucking big-headed pundits through a little bitty bandwidth straw just don’t work worth a damn.
The lawyer, thirty plus year Senator who doesn’t know his ass end from Article I of the Constitution.
Semanticleo wants to be a blog cockroach!
NPR forgot to mention how historic it was […] That’s almost inexplicable to where I can’t explain how they could overlook that
I got the down low on that HF.
It’s because of Geraldine. It’s soooo 80’s.
“media hasn’t wanted to talk about drilling the energies”
I see yer pernt. That hasn’t been on the news much. Good luck with the DRILL, DRILL, DRILL…………..
If we were electing a homecoming queen, Sister Palin would had my vote with her first winky.
Her “shout out” almost made my bowels instantaneously combust. She’s never really left college, I’m afraid.
Hrmm. You and me we just has a fundamental difference Semanticleo person.
“Unless it’s at hobos or homeless people, then you’re a bit too Republican.”
Sorry, again. Conscience is a weakness. Must think ‘sociopath’…….think ‘sociopath.
Sucking big-headed pundits through a little bitty bandwidth straw just don’t work worth a damn.
They need to be deploying through something like Amazon EC2 and S3, for real.
That would let them ramp up for special events, without having a lot of hardware sitting around idle most of the time.
Maybe Biden needs to spend some time with a Constitutional scholar. Does he know anybody like that?
“Maybe Biden needs to spend some time with a Constitutional scholar.”
He was with Sarah for 90 minutes and she knows all ’bout Rove and Wave.
Governor Palin’s performance I think makes it a lot more likely Nancy will tank the bailout.
But does Biden actually know anybody who understands the Constitution? Because he needs a little remedial edumacation
Semanticleo and thor are just indignant that that snow-nigger is allowed to drink from the same water fountains decent people use. You could probably sell ’em axe handles, except that thor probably already has one.
Ah, nostalgia.
Regards,
Ric
Palin: “Freedom isn’t something we pass to our kids in our bloodstream; it’s something we fight for and and something we teach them to fight for.”
Biden: “Blah blah Cheney is the worst; blah blah Let’s lose the War; blah blah Bush is the worst; Blah blah I hated Bork.”
“Ah, nostalgia.”
Aren’t you the guy who thwacked Jack Nicholson in ‘Easy Rider’?
– Scoooooooooooore!!!!!
– Biden needs to hang around the stage and hope he can get his ballsac back.
– FOX text poll: 82% Palin / 12% Biden – 1M+ votes
– OhhhhhRaaaaaa! Sempre Fie!
FOX text poll: 82% Palin / 12% Biden – 1M+ votes
Hm yah. More science from the ‘scientific’.
– I liked when she said she wanted to talk directly too America and screw the press editing her words.
– Course, with all the lies old Joe tried to slip in, he needs an editor
Does SemenKKKleo speak English?
The Saturday Night Live sketch template is officially dead.
– Common bitch. Its just a phone. You do know how to operate a phone don’t you.
Funny to watch Semanticwhatever argue with happyfeet, even whilst adoringly adopting the semantic stylings of his superior adversary.
At least Biden tells it like it is in the political game:
“Yeah, Hi, Barry? Yeah, I stunk it up. She actually got me with the White Flag thing and then–I’ll be damned–she got in the shining-city-onna-hill thing.”
“Yeah…. Yeah, I know… The only thing that shined up there was my botoxed forehead. She’s a pistol, Barry–and I’m up there talking about me in third person like ol’ Bob Dole….”
“No… No… I know… It didn’t look good….”
“Yeah, we gotta sew this thing up, y’know, like my mom said to bloody their noses. OK, G’night.”
Palin kids in public school
Obama kids? Naw.
– I love her – I just flat out by gawd love her.
I Said, Hey Joe, Where You Goin’ With That Dumb In Your Hand?
Everyone has their more idiotic supporters I think. It’s pretty much unavoidable that they will youtube their stupidity for all to see.
– Wrong Jeff. The more of that crap the elitist fling around, the harder they’re going to get their asses kicked to the curb. I hope they unkeash a torrnt of this stuff.
– Watch how independents react to this shit.
I saw that, Jeff.
– Theres Obama, out in the Mid West, throwing a trainload of money around, trying to sway Western votes, and his elitist friends are out there helping him out waving red flags in front of middle America.
– I used to think the Left loses elections on the issues. I’m starting to think its because their tactics are just so damn arrogant and stupid.
This kinda thing doesn’t help, though.
– Don’t know what that one was Jeff. They pulled it down.
link is fixed I think.
ok, Jeff….that’s sly
Biden said he and Barrack might have to slow down on their plans to double foreign assistance.
It may take a little longer than planned to
paymake the world love us.– Same one I was commenting on. Immature and wrong headed to go that way. But it was done by kids, so what do you expect.
Nope. That was Joe Bob Thorson. I fired his ass for shooting hippies on company time and not cleaning the shotgun afterwards. But that was just an excuse. I was sick of listening to his bullshit.
You sound just like him, except with purtier words.

– Might have something to do with the fact that you don’t see too many 23 year old Presidents.
Green bottle beer!!!??!!
Who the hell does he think he’s fooling?
That was Miller Chill, brother. Good stuff.
I IMd it to a friend and he kept saying … you know this guy??? you know this guy??? and I said kinda and now he has a theory that Biden was mysteriously well-prepared…
– Looks like the Kossack brigade has chucked it in for the evening. The gloating is just too much for them. Heh.
– Palin just made a hook shot from the far end of the court – all net. McOldFart should shake lose a little bit of mama’s money, and send her 4 dozen of the finest American long-stemmed beauties.
okay, it wasn’t just me. heh.
Oh well, in that case, bravo. It’s almost a pitch perfect stereotype of what my Obamaton kid sister thinks most of America is like. I just sent it to her husband, he’ll love it.
Green bottle beer!!!??!!
ODouls?
watch the comments there…
whoops
should have refreshed before posting
as I said earlier, sly
and I’m still guffawing
I thought the teeth were a nice touch.
The couch needed some duct tape.
One funny thing about this is you won’t hear one peep about how horrible it is that BO and Joe don’t support gay marriage. Where will the cries of gay outrage be?
They ‘don’t support’ gay marriage as much as they ‘support’ coal fired power plants. In other words, they are depending on the courts to do the heavy lifting and keep their hands clean.
I don’t have $250 but hit the tip jar for what I could.
I had to work through the whole debate so this thread is a nice catch-up.
Good work all.
“One funny thing about this is you won’t hear one peep about how horrible it is that BO and Joe don’t support gay marriage.”
– The underside of the MagicBus has an infinite amount of room to accept inconvenient truths.

Yeah, I thought the set was a little off. Too bad the cinematographer didn’t have a partially finished basement, maybe a mount. Moose ideally, but a deer, fish, even an armadillo would give it ambiance.
Jeff,
Fucking. Funny. Stuff.
OK, people, that was worth at least the $250 that Green got paid tonight. Belly up to the tipjar.
– Has anyone been brave enough to venture over to Kos or DU to see how many suicides have been reported this evening?
That’s what I get for commenting without watching more than a few seconds of video…. the damn thing was taking way too long to load and I have the patience of a boiling teakettle in the intertubes.
Fuckin’ hysterical. “with ties to the Jooooooooooooooooooooos” and “killing people who needs some killing”
599!
Just how lame is AlexZTuned, refreshing YouTube continuously so that he stays current for the homeroom gossip.
Jeff, please consider making that a series.
“The Largess of the Palin Demographic”
oh crap, I just realized FNC will probably be rerunning this all night. I’ll have to find a different station to sleep to.
BBC wasn’t it, happyfeet?
i think palin did better than expected. some of her answers were rehearsed understandably. mccain’s camp will not have her become a lose cannon of some sort. but she did very well. however, i think the debate goes to biden who projected himself as more “vice-presidentiable”. and with the economic mess that america is, and with obama leading the race, biden is assured of the vice president title after the november elections.
BUT even if the republicans lose this november, i think we will see more of sarah palin in the next presidential elections. hopefully as the woman on top and not as no.2. a more seasoned sarah palin, a more experienced sarah palin after 4 years of an obama presidency will make obama want to run for cover come 2012.
PEACE!!!
Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma .. McLish. Beautiful.
“Belly up to the tipjar.”
My pleasure.

Welcome to the Palin Doctrine!
Sarah won, hands, down.
Go look at the headlines list at Lucianne.com
Always a sure indicator.
All the dems were about “Didn’t separate from Booosh policy”. Seems they were expecting the plugs to fall out on the floor.
Hi, people.
Been busy polishng my street urchin creds, so I haven’t been around lately.
Just wanted to say, get ready for O! as president.
Sarah was very nice last night – VERY nice! At a very crucial time when what she needed to do was rip Obama-Biden a new asshole, she smiled for the cameras, then rolled over and played dead. The facts are all there, but I guess McDoDo is more interested in playing kissy face than saving this country from an irreversible slide into socialism/fascism.
Bummer. I will still vote for him, but he is once again a total asshole in my book.
I tried to like him. I really did.
But what a fucking dope he is.
SBP,
Joey B. did make it sound like O! wasn’t gonna make a move without consulting him first…
It occurs to me though, that this is the same meme the left has been using to deride Booooooooosh with for the last 8 years; they’ve been saying that Cheney is the puppet master and Booooooooosh is the marionette…
This is something that really needs to be played up a lot by the right-o-sphere and Mav’s campaign…

Exactly. The full quote is up in the transcript thread. I wonder if Bambi agrees that he’s not allowed to wipe his ass without permission from Uncle Joe?
Oh come on, everyone knows that Joey’s not going to have any say over Obama. I mean, at the very least Michelle has needs and I don’t think they could even be delayed much less denied.
Well, he is worth about a bucket of warm spit…
Oh come on, everyone knows that Joey’s not going to have any say over Obama.
Sure, we know that. That’s why Biden’s statement is so funny and why it needs to get heavy play.
Obama can:
1) Ignore the statement (damaging, if it gets enough play).
2) Repudiate the statement (more damaging).
3) Admit that he’ll be taking his lead from Biden (supremely damaging).
Where’s the downside?
All The Post VP Debate Buzz…
Greasy Joe never saw it coming.
My thoughts? Who cares?! Gov. Palin’s freakin hot! She could have stood up there and read the back of a shampoo bottle and I’d vote for her. Now I know what Chris Matthews meant about that shiver up ……
He said: “I’m goin’ down to shoot my left footie, you know I caught it messin’ ’round with another plan…”
I read #614 and I didn’t know I could have more admiration for psycho but there it is.
