What the fuck? She is just as bad as I thought. There’s no substance. The format is question, Joe Biden tells the facts and explains the situation, then Palin just vomits a bunch of words with key words that may or may not have anything to do with anything at all.
Education? When the fuck did we get onto education?
Dog-gone it? Shout out? What the hell is going on here?
Huh? Vice president? Children with special needs? You betcha?
Palin still comes off as massively stupid.
Not a retarded drooler, but still, not somebody you want running anything major.
Biden is solid, not shiny, but solid.
Palin hasn’t lost any of her rural Bible thumper base, but she hasn’t gained any of us city folk either.
Really? If you think that a good performance means pulling that “i’m just a regular gal, hey howdy” crap then perhaps I could agree.
Not according to the lines at the bottom of the screen.
She’s coming off like Margie in “Fargo.”
Good fucking grief. I hope McCain’s planning on asking her to check her opinions at the door. That’s exactly what we’re all afraid of.
What are you watching?
She sort of comes across as an evil Marge Gunderson.
ETA=wow, beaten to it.
I’m with you. It’s really annoying the hell out of me.
I think she is parodying Tina Fey.
Given his shakiness in North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Florida, and to a much lesser extent South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, I think he’s aiming at rural folks.
More than you’d care to know.
Props to Biden for what he just said about Cheney.
She just learned like yesterday afternoon that the VP “presides over the Senate,” and she’s “looking forward to that.” I guess they forgot to tell her that it’s not something the VP actually shows up to do very often.
Is she Cheney lite? What is with the VP wiggle room? And why is she given special projects like special needs kids? I wish Biden had brought up Creationism.
And she managed to cram in education with NO question at all. And the special needs kid now joins poor Bristol as part of her ad campaign.
I’m done with her.
Go Joe–well done. Cheney IS what he says…
Well, not to start a debate, but the Serbs and Croats would usually be called Bosnian Serbs or Bosnian Croats. Bosnian tends to refer only to the Bosniaks. Bosnian Muslim would have worked too.
In general, I think that Palin is doing better than I thought she would, although she’s mainly just printing bad bumper stickers out of her mouth. It’s mainly that the bar was set so very low for her. She’s speaking in slogans and catchphrases with a little bit of filler.
Biden, on the other hand, is actually impressing me. He’s one of those politicians who I’d never really paid quite enough attention to. He’s staying on point, getting in a few zingers of his own, and in general is sounding much more educated and poised.
Woo, Biden kicked at Cheney. THANK YOU!
