Great analysis of Palin interview...
...Compares her Bush Doctrine moment with an unprepared student being called on in class by a teacher.

1. Interesting read. But it reminds me...
...that Biden will have to really guard himself during the debates against any heavy sighing or eye rolls or anything else that might appear condescending.

That was all the media focused on after that 2000 debate: Gore's heavy sighs. Of course, they totally dismissed the fact that Bush's idiotic answers gave Gore plenty of reason sigh.

It appears Biden may well be in the same boat in the upcoming VP debate.

5. McClown is "truth-averse". LOL
McClown is a Goddamned Liar. He violates the 9th Commandment constantly.

6. Biden is a much better debater...
...than Gore. He won't put people to sleep.

2. I had the same reaction myself.
I used to be a high school English teacher. I've seen that look and heard that crap many times. She had no clue what the answer was, and even with prodding, still had no clue. How the hell did the GOP think she was worth being a heartbeat away from the presidency?!

7. I don't think the GOP cares what her
qualification are or are not. This morning on Ed Schultz his sub Norman Goldman floated the theory that they might be trying to get McSame elected and shortly after he will resign (voluntarily or otherwise) moving her up to Pres and then she chooses Cheney as her VP. The NEOCONS and Religious nuts will all be in hog heaven.

9. That's totally plausible.
Sad, but plausible.

3. She cocked her head the way my dog does when I use a
word she doesn't understand.

4. It reminded me of . . .
A pit bull watching a card trick. Only she was wearing lipstick.

11. those who believe that they know the mind of god and speak for him
find themselves the only one standing out front when god has taken a step back.
