say it aint so joe.

say it aint so.

dr said...

Damn. I meant "First!"

ash said...

doggone it? i hate her.

dr said...

How does Palin feel about the teacher's unions?

ash said...

uh-oh...education

ash said...

is her brother AFT?

dr said...

Didn't Palin's kid get knocked up in public school?

CPS said...

so totally lame

Anonymous said...

that was awful.

omg

wobblie said...

She got briefed on Government 101.

ash said...

dr: LOL

CPS said...

she wants Cheney-like power

dr said...

Dave3544: In the last thread you said, "Men seem to have changed on their opinion of Palin."

Expand.

EZ said...

governor, I know lame jokes. I served with lame jokes. you governor, are a seriously lame joke.

wobblie said...

Damn. Joe knows what the fuck he's gonna do. All Palin can demonstrate is that she knows what the VP does.

CPS said...

please suggest you are ready to take over if you had to!

ash said...

ez: BOOM!

dave3544 said...

when I was watching before, men were above women in approval...not so when I turned back.

dr said...

Biden is kicking ass on the issue of giving the president useful advice.

wobblie said...

Cheney sucks! BOOM!

Anonymous said...

Pretty sure there isn't much flexibility in the Constitution about the veep. Executive? Legislative? Hell, judicial, while we're at it.

Finally, Biden has a good answer. Fuck.

CPS said...

Fill in when he dies!!!!

dr said...

dave3544 -- I wondered. Earlier I noticed that women tended to lead men in approval of anything (not that I commented about it), but it does seem that men are less approving of Palin than at the beginning. May reflect the switch to nat'l security.

ash said...

court: you don't think biden's been doing well?

dave3544 said...

cps is not court

dr said...

I'd like to have a conversation with Palin about grammar.

EZ said...

she likes to tap things

ash said...

no, courtney is courtney. i know who cps is.

dr said...

"cps is not court"

Not nearly.

CPS said...

no I am not, but I think Courtney is court

EZ said...

do you know who JGB is? and why do they keep playing?

Anonymous said...

Hate to go against the grain, but I don't think he's doing very well. I'm trying to imagine what my Dad (and Mom) are thinking watching this though...

CPS (Courtney)

dave3544 said...

does she know that reagan was quoting "citty on a hill"? I know it doesn't matter, but seriously, does she know?

wobblie said...

Some might say I'm disadvantaged by my devastating good looks, but enough about me.

dave3544 said...

my bad. sorry. didn't see her sneak in there.

I blame myself.

And the rye.

CPS said...

don't cry Joe!

dr said...

You know, Biden actually is reluctant to talk about his wife and daughter. I appreciate that he's willing to do it.

Wow, he almost choked up. That was real.

wobblie said...

I think people are going to notice she keeps giving the same five answers.

I wonder what the mavericks think about women's rights? I want a question specifically about reproductive rights.....

wobblie said...

Yeah - I don't think you could actually coach that. Joe gave a heartfelt answer.

ash said...

"he is the man that we need to leave."

finally, palin says something about mccain that i can agree with.

Anonymous said...

I can't belive she said maverick again

CPS said...

Go Joe!

wobblie said...

He's not been a maverick. Boom.

Anonymous said...

YES!! finally. Take on the fucking maverick-ness.

sorry for the double.

Anonymous said...

maverick he is not!!!!!!

dr said...

I think a lot of low information voters are going to connect with Biden based on that answer (about his wife and daughter and Palin's child).

EZ said...

damn, where is katie couric when you need her? not one gotcha journalism question.....

dr said...

If, that is, they haven't turned the channel by now.

unionboy said...

I agree dr...that could be the defining moment of this debate

dave3544 said...

Oh sweet jeebus.

CPS said...

nope, never changed her mind!

wobblie said...

She's sorry she didn't get to veto a budget? Yeesh.

dr said...

Kind of a surprising debate. Palin didn't gaffe, but Joe was really impressive. Hell, I can't help but call him Joe. That tells me something.

dr said...

Seriously, if the primary were today, I'd vote for Biden.

wobblie said...

Except you fire the jerks who impeded your path to power.

dave3544 said...

Hopefully someone will ask McCain to name one Democrat he will appoint to the cabinet.

ash said...

yes, please--let's appoint people because of their lifelong love of cows, for instance.

CPS said...

good--he gets to close

Anonymous said...

"Basicly, screw you Kaite Curic"

wobblie said...

Shorter Palin: Since you are never going to see me unscripted again, I'm going to say I actually enjoyed this.

CPS said...

wow--the substance is overwhelming!

lex dexter said...

she talks kinda like Dusty Rhodes when she gets into the Patriotism Pocket.

ash said...

what the fuck is she talking about?

wobblie said...

Where did McCain fight? I want to know more!

Anonymous said...

She does believe in extinction, if not evolution

dave3544 said...

I think she's reading the ending words of Red Dawn.

wobblie said...

lips: boom.

Anonymous said...

lex-

she has a good elbow too

J

dr said...

Nobody better talk shit on Red Dawn!

Anonymous said...

red dawn=best line of the night. excellent

EZ said...

I want everyone to remember that the OG polling operation concluded that Joe Biden was "not crap", long before he proved it during this debate. Good old, Joe "not crap" Biden a vp we can believe in!

dr said...

I think Biden wins the closing.

wobblie said...

The last 45 minutes, Joe was on fire.

dave3544 said...

how did you vote for biden in that poll, ez?

EZ said...

The Biden's had more kids/grandkids on stage, they WIN!.....

dave3544 said...

Ginger wants to know why the "first dude" never holds the baby.

CPS said...

Bob S. on CBS pointing out that JB had a very good night and that SP didn't answer questions.

EZ said...

Ummmmmm... all poll results are kept strictly confidentiational.....but if pressed, I would respond by saying I don't want to answer that question, I wanna talk about wrasslin'

unionboy said...

this is where pbs failed during the repub convention and they are failing again - they LOVE palin.

EZ said...

cspan streaming.....no commentary at all......

ash said...

gergen on CNN called this the best debate performance of biden's life

dave3544 said...

msnbc is jumping on palin for advocating moving the embassy to jerusalem.

otherwise, she did well on her game plan, but didn't answer the questions.

wobblie said...

CNN picked up on her not answering questions.

CPS said...

Lieberman trying to say Palin hit a homerun, but noted that Joe's moment talking about being a single parent was the memorable moment--dr hit it.

ash said...

lots of "she did a great job"s from CNN

ash said...

lots of "she did a great job"s from CNN

EZ said...

first caller said palin did well but biden did ok too...not much punditry on c-span just regular folks... lots of ummmms

dave3544 said...

Maddow didn't like her.

Pay Buchanan is lying her ass off about how she wiped the floor with Biden. PB is citing unnamed Democratic women who thought she was teh shit.

wobblie said...

ez: Here's what I translate that as. Biden really knew his shit, and Palin wasn't quite as dumb as they were led to believe.

dave3544 said...

That was "Pat" Buchanan.

lex dexter said...

dave is kind of like the Bay Buchanan of Oregon politics, in my world...

wobblie said...

CNN focus group says Biden won.

dr said...

I just don't know what to think. Palin didn't suck, but Biden was very good.

dr said...

I guess I think that sorta-racists who had defected to Obama based on Palin's vacuousness may now be able to talk themselves into voting for McCain.

EZ said...

Independent caller said support 3rd party and cynthia mckinney and gave a shout out to democracynow.org for "real news."

and with that lame observation, this is EZ over and out......

lex dexter said...

put back the velvet rope!

They should have sat all those Biden kids down and given them haircuts.
