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!

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?

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.

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.

And Biden is … oh my goodness. Quoting sec states and saying Ahmadenijad isn’t in charge…

Hey, McCain camp: “A war is a series of catastrophes resulting in victory”. Write that down.

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?

Cry for me, Joe.

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.

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.’

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.
Comment by happyfeet on 10/2 @ 9:31 pm #
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.

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.

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.
Comment by happyfeet on 10/2 @ 9:44 pm #
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).

At least Biden tells it like it is in the political game:

“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….”

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.

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.

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…

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?
