Watching Sarah Palin debate Joe Biden on CSPAN (2008) puts Trump in a starker light.

Damn, she's holding her own against old Joe, and sounds like Einstein compared to the spluttering Trump. Makes me realize again how fundamentally stupid a lizard Donald is. Even his cunning is limited. Once exposed and disarmed, as he was with Hillary, he is nothing but a big flailing dope in a big flapping coat. Only thing more I want to hear from him is his concession speech, which I hope is long and insane. Love to see a tear or two, but that's way too much humanness to hope for.

1. Oscar, for all his faults, is better-behaved

3. Not faults--irresistible eccentricities.

5. Loveable lapses. :) nt

8. He does a stirring Donald impersonation.

Puts on my old Soviet greatcoat, pins his ears together on top of his head, stands on his hind legs, and prances sluggishly across the coffee table pointing at things while we're trying to watch the Judge Judy Marathon.

9. LOL! When you're ready, we could use a new Oscar thread.

The original was both brilliant and serendipitous. Brilliantly handled, and lucky that no one challenged it early on.

Obviously I have mixed animal feelings about this. But a report on the further exploits of Oscar would be welcomed here. I can only limagine what a handful he's been, but even my imagination is no match for your creative and narrative skills.

10. Thank you, kind sir. Who knows, might happen...

I love the state of mind it puts me in, just writing that little thing.

2. Trump is dumber and less coherent than Palin

and it's not even close.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

4. So used to thinking of Palin as the epitome of babbling emptiness,

it had not struck me what a genius she is next to Trump.

[pinboy3niner]

6. She even warned us about Trump

Her national security platform was all about "The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!"

7. Palin (unlike Trump) had charm, looks and wasn't mean spirited,

and had been an elected official with some gov't experience.

Trump otoh is not even pretending to try.

Sad state of the GOP.

[pinboy3niner]

11. You had me until "wasn't mean spirited"

She was as mean-spirited as the rest, just with lipstick and high heels.

[radius777]

12. i guess, but not any where near trumpian levels,

which have violent and fascist overtones, unprecedented in modern american politics for a major party nominee.

[0rganism]

13. ah the concession speech, how sweet it will be

best will be the moment he pulls off the stupid orange mask and reveals that it was Andy Kaufman all along, pulling off the single greatest piece of political performance art in human history.

DO WANT

14. according to the movie, they had Palin memorize 25 answers

I was afraid they would have Trump do that but after last week's debate, its clear, he's not capable of memorizing that much.

15. Unfortunately they never asked her about her 'Johnny Choos'
