All that link showed was how Tina Fey Palin answered them. At least for me. |
Really? It didn't show Biden's answers first? How sad. I'll double check. He answers solidly, and, well, as though he knows something. And then they show her, and it's comical. |

Following up on Palin's answers re the Supreme Court, my gut instinct was that maybe asking that question is unfair. But then, it took me about 4 seconds to recall and then Google one recent choice I'm not sure I agree with.
But then I saw this floating around on the YouTubes.
This was in June of this year!!!
Think about it. Couric asks you a softball question: What SCOTUS opinions do you disagree with?
Palin's answer was essentially Gosh, there are lots that lots of people may or may not agree with! But I know there are some I disagree with. I'm pretty sure.
However, you want to spin it, it's a horrible answer. But it's a hundred thousand times worse when you think that just a few months ago, she's ON THE NEWS talking about how she disagreed with the ruling on Exxon v Baker. Seriously!!!
All she had to do was just repeat the same shit she said a few months ago. Bad for fishermen. Bad for Alaska. Whatever.
She's seriously horrible. Horrible in every way. |

Holy crap! All I can think is that she is a moron, or, McCain approved the of the decision. I'm going with moron. |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

| I expect tonight's debate to give this guy plenty of fodder. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

| Well Palin's given a good answer to the first question. She's had good prep. (Even if she isn't always tell the truth.) |

| Now we're hearing about the sub-prime crisis. Palin's answer is again pretty well-prepared. But who is she kidding with the oversight BS? |

| Well, Biden's not smooth, but he's hitting some key points. And it's nice that he's calling out some of Palin's lies. But Palin is doing well, too. She definitely has that folksy thing down. |

Palin kept saying she is part of "a team of mavericks." Does she know what that word even means? Talk about an oxymoron.
