She keeps talking about “putting government back on the people’s side” and reform and corruption, as if one party hasn’t been running Washington for years. Joe, please mention Bush, the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about!
MzNicky said,

“I don’t want to argue about the causes.” They never do, since they’re part and parcel of the problem.

I’m surprised that she didn’t shout “ENERGY” at the question of if she supports gay marriage.

I knew how to pronounce that word when I was in grade school.
Also: did she just admit there’s someone in her family who’s gay?
MzNicky said,
October 3, 2008 at 3:39
Biden’s right. “marriage” is a religous thing. Civil is different.
J Neo Marvin said,
October 3, 2008 at 3:39
Sign of the times: even when blabbing about traditional marriage, the Republican has to give lip service to the rights of same-sex couples. Not long ago, even the Democrat wouldn’t have done that. Biden’s hammerin home his “fairness” theme here. Good.

Biden: “John McCain voted against funding because he didnt’ like the timeline. Let’s get it straight: Not a week,not a day … McCain said there would be enough oil to pay for it… but he’s been wrong, Obama has been right.”

Even when Gwen pointedly feeds her the right pronounciation, she still says nookyoular.
OK, my dad worked for Lockheed, and he said it that way too. But I could spot him that for his Southern dialect. After 8 years of EVERYONE making fun of Bush for it, what’s her excuse? “Liberals pronounce it “nookleeyar”, so fuck ‘em!”?

The ratings are divided by men and women this time, not R & D. Stupid move.
I tried to watch this for a while but I started to implode. I agree with this commenter over at balloon juice:
I can’t do it, guys. I can’t watch that stupid brain-dead simpleton up there, so supremely confident in her imagined competence as she spews out garbled talking points like a high-school drunk vomits up wine coolers. She’s a fucking idiot. I’m going to go take a shower and have a drink and then go to bed. It’s a goddamned insult to me, all of you, America, Joe Biden and Gwen Ifill for Sarah Palin to even be on that stage, and she should apologize to each and every one of us, personally, for wasting all of our time and energy. And so should the fossilized old lech that is reponsible for this insult to mediocrity being up on that stage, John McCain.

The summary of what their threads are:
1) go to Drudge and game the poll so Moose “wins”
2) someting about israel and Moose
3) whining about Obama being a Nazi
4) request for somebody to photoshop Obama into Pinhead from the movie
5) request from somebody about what they should do with their money
Wow. Idiocy personified.
I did the same thing at redstate.org. They have almost no comments on their open debate thread; just a few “sarah kicks ass!”.
Over at Kos, it appears that between 100 and 150 comments go up EVERY MINUTE on their open debate threads.
Astounding.
