Great article re: last week's debate, check it out!

Who would have thought, after GWB, that there would be any danger of "lowering the standard"?

Exactly! If, God forbid, Sarah Palin ever reaches the oval office, we will be looking back at the GWB administration as 'enlightened times.'

My thoughts exactly bicker and you know it takes a lot for me to agree with you.

I love the people that say she can challenge obama in 4 years.....not unless he has a frontal labotomy......Go Back to alaska and try graduate school, get educated on the world, and maybe spend some time community organizing, then come knocking!!

 

[freckles and boo]

I literally cringe when she speaks. I don't want to cringe. I want to know what the hell she is talking about, but it is all so circuitous that it makes no sense. The folksy stuff really wouldn't bother me all that much if the rest of what she was saying was logical.

Thanks for posting this article. I shudder to consider reading the actual transcript of the debate I don't think my body could sustain the super cringe that would result, watching it was bad enough.

I would also like to add that not all Alaskan women are so scary.

It's not an article. It's commentary.

I need a barfy smilie.

Wow, "Al Guardian" writes a piece highly critical of Sarah Palin, who would have imagined!?!?!? That's about as shocking as Rolling Stone slobbering all over Obama.

The debate in effect was her one and only job interview with the American public. I have interviewed for many jobs, and I can swear that I never once winked at my possible employers! It is almost the antitheseis of professional behavior.

It's too bad that McCain wasted his VP pick on her. He's definitely kicking himself right now. He should have picked the Democrat and he would have had the economy covered. Oh! Too bad!!!

Obama / Biden '08!!!

You make an excellent point.

Palin lacks the understanding not only of the office of the VP, but also that
of a representative of an American diplomat in the 21st century world.

I totally agree.

Possibly it was appropriate for a job interview on the casting couch.

I still say it played more like a 2 AM booty call.

Yeah the winking creeped me. It was at a minimum wholly (holy?) unprofessional.

Watch out now, yeartolate, this is the DIS!

Ummm, booty, like baby booty....like she was winking at us like babies, yeah, that's the ticket.

Yeah, that was a great issue wasn't it!!! Gotta LOVE Rolling Stone!

Oh give me a break. This is the same old liberal schtick that gets pulled out on every Republican candidate -- that somehow they're not "smart enough."

For eight years liberals ranted about what a stupid, unqualified buffoon Ronald Reagan was.

Then George Bush Sr. was a doddering fool, totally out of touch with the average American.

Then George W. -- you can't find a name in the book they haven't called him.

And now Sarah Palin. A woman who's such an idiot that she rose from hockey mom to Governor of her state? Wow, she must be a real moron. Yeah, that winking will clue you in every time.

EDITED TO ADD: This is the liberal equivalent of conservatives saying that Democrats aren't "patriotic enough." That's total BS, too.

If I hear one more person say that Democrats aren't "patriotic enough" or that Republicans aren't "smart enough" I will really go over the edge. Both arguments are cliched, tired, old and untrue.
