vovatFor those of you who missed it, or who just want a review, here's a summary of Sarah Palin's answers at the debate:
"Well, gosh-darn it, in Alaska, the hockey moms are all worried about taxes and energy independence! I might not be answering the questions you ask, or even saying anything remotely relevant, but gee-golly-gosh-a-roonie, I'm talking straight talk to all the Joe Six-Packs. Gee Willikers McGolly-Gosh, I know what it's like to struggle to raise a family! Jeepers W. Creepers, I have a special needs child, darn it to heck!"
She did seem better prepared than for any of her recent television interviews, perhaps because of those notes she kept staring at whenever she wasn't smirking. But she'd probably claim that the media bias made her look bad. You know, because it's totally liberal bias when someone asks you what newspapers you read. Oh, and let's not forget that she says "nucular" now. The hockey moms aren't going to like it if you pronounce it correctly!
By the way, you probably already knew this, but Palin is protected against all forms of witchcraft. That's something we need in a Vice President, isn't it? Personally, I think that preacher went too far, blessing her against ALL kinds of witchcraft. What if she needs a healing spell someday? Then she's TOTALLY screwed! Now, I could see getting protection against Yookoohoo magic, as it's hard to run a state if you've been turned into a green monkey.
Okay, now that I got this post's gratuitous Oz reference out of the way, I have one more thing to address. That's how angry it makes me that BOTH candidates make a point of being against gay marriage. Come on, maybe Palin can't name any newspapers or Supreme Court cases, but she CAN'T be dumb enough to think the junk about protecting traditional marriage is at all valid. But she and Biden just HAVE to try to appease the Religious Right. It's really sad that such is still the case in this day and age.
Okay, I'd better go to bed.

NEWS FLASH. YOU ARE BEING TELEVISED, SARAH PALIN. YOU ARE BEING MODERATED BY A PROFESSIONAL NEWS PERSON AND BROADCAST ON A MAJOR NEWS NETWORK.
GAH! The stupidity, it burns.

I think that's her indirect way of saying that she isn't REALLY as dumb as she looked in those interviews (which she probably isn't, because I don't think anyone that dumb could manage to walk upright). It's just that those mainstream media folks were being so gee-gosh-darned mean, asking about Supreme Court decisions, and all that other stuff that she didn't have notecards about!

Date: 2008-10-05 01:02 am (UTC)The debates are past my bed time. And listening to politicians is not worth losing sleep. However, I did wake up at 3 a.m. (not for any good reason except that's what ageing people do). On went the TV to see how things went. Fox News claimed Palin won and MSNBC asserted that Biden won. CNN was usurped by an infomercial for Abs exercises.

Date: 2008-10-06 12:36 am (UTC)Why am I not surprised? Honestly, I'm not so keen on declaring a winner, because I think of a debate as more of a "get to know these people" event than a competition. You're probably going to think the winner is the one you agree with more often, unless there just happens to be someone saying a lot of good things in a profoundly stupid way.

Oh, CNN, you and your crazy commercials! Maybe if you'd stayed tuned, you could have seen Just a Trim and Blendy Pens.
