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 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.

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!”?

I love the rearing of the terrists-who-hate-us-for-our-tolerance head less than ten minutes after Marriage means one man and one woman.

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.

Holy sheepshit.
“You hire people regardless of party affiliation”?!?
This from the Lucretia Borgia of Wasilla.
Quoting Reagan will work for the base, but it’s weak sauce to everyone else …
“The last 8 years we’ve been dug into a very deep hole” – sort of wish he’d mention who was manning the backhoe on that, but hopefully folks can connect the dots.
Well, she didn’t suck QUITE as hard as she could’ve done – but that was hurtful … the Holodeck Media will now puff Palin up because she didn’t go into conniptions, bite the mic off & speak in tongues … & there they go, right on cue. Jesus.

What got me was when Palin was talking about tolerance was how she is so okay with teh gayz “choosing” to be gay, but then she’s not okay with a woman choosing what to do with her own uterus. She is just a terrible, terrible person. I picture her smiling and telling me she loves me as she aims a flamethrower at my head to send me to hell for my sins.

It’s sooo sappy, but I really went “awww” when Biden stumbled a little bit talking about his family and his kids.

She did. I think it was another instance where she didn’t get the substance of the question. Ifill asked what policy proposals would have to be scaled back or eliminated by a McCain administration or an Obama administration given the severe budget burden the bailout/rescue/cashdrop will impose. She said she and McCain haven’t and won’t break any promises.

Humans are hard-wired not to trust smiles that do not involve the entire face, expecting deception and losing trust. Palin smiled almost the entire debate but rarely did her smiles make use of the musculature around the eyes, a key factor.

Well, she didn’t trip up and fall down the staircase like she did in her interviews with Charlie and Katie. I suppose that’ll catapult her into the “win” category in the minds of those who view not totally fucking up as a win. Biden was calm, reasoned, appropriately incited when it was called for, hometown-y enough to match Ms. Sixpack’s putative persona, and his 35-years experience in big-time politics overshadowed that of the ex-mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.
As feared, the MSM will now trumpet her Second Coming for being so well-trained that she didn’t make a total fool of herself. Yep, that’s what this country needs as a VP to McGrumpy: Someone Who Can Sometimes Not Appear to be a Total Nitwit.

I found the transcripts. Interesting that the entire time she called them “John McCain” and “Barack Obama,” – even calling Obama “Barack” at least once.
She didn’t called them Senators ever. I think that’s odd for someone not to use their title. In the case of McCain, it’s almost like she considers his full name a Brand Name she’s trying to sell.
Despite the “Can I call you Joe?” she didn’t – she called Biden “Senator Biden” almost always… except for the canned “say it aint so Joe.” I didn’t see it, so I’m curious – did that old chesnut play, or did it go over like a lead balloon?

can you think of a single issue, policy issue, in which you were forced to change a long-held view
PALIN: Well, I didn’t get to veto as many line items as I wanted to in the budget.
And she adds:
“But on the major principle things, no, there hasn’t been something that I’ve had to compromise on, because we’ve always seemed to find a way to work together. Up there in Alaska, what we have done is, with bipartisan efforts, is work together and, again, not caring who gets the credit for what, as we accomplish things up there.”
let me get this straight. she hasn’t had to compromise her principles (althought that wasn’t the question) because she’s bipartisan. Isn’t that a contradiction in terms?
I guess it isn’t if you have no principles to compromise…

Palin was good, but here’s the problem- that was her ceiling. She connected with a good percent of the gee-howdy-folks routine (though that third-grade class line fuckin bombed), but the gap in command, especially on foreign policy, was just too evident. She might have resurrected her career by not self-destructing, but I don’t know if she saddled many undecideds to the McCain racehorse.
Biden was a lot better than I expected, honestly. Most of the early polling shows him as winning the night, and I agree. And although Palin goes on ad nauseam about her family and her friends and small town this that and the other, the real my-family moment that resonates was Biden nearly losing it about his lost wife. That was some real shit, not the stuff of focus groups and Sucessories posters.
But we’ll see if the voters agree. I actually thought McCain won Friday’s debate but no one else seemed to go that route, so.
D.N. Nation said,

God damn it all.
This fuckin’ night, with Palin, AND the Cubs are getting their asses kicked?!?
Is there no solace for the souls of slightly confused Irish-American persons from greater Chicago and their more confused progeny who still for some reason root for the Cubs?
Damn it!

Does anybody but the lowest information voter believe for a moment that McCain would somehow equal Change? Or that he’s Mr. Regulation?
Saying it a million times doesn’t make it true.

She just said “senator OBiden” and “nucluar”

“Say it ain’t so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let’s look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future. You mentioned education and I’m glad you did. I know education you are passionate about with your wife being a teacher for 30 years, and god bless her. Her reward is in heaven, right? I say, too, with education, America needs to be putting a lot more focus on that and our schools have got to be really ramped up in terms of the funding that they are deserving. Teachers needed to be paid more. I come from a house full of school teachers. My grandma was, my dad who is in the audience today, he’s a schoolteacher, had been for many years. My brother, who I think is the best schoolteacher in the year, and here’s a shout-out to all those third graders at Gladys Wood Elementary School, you get extra credit for watching the debate.”
Without knowing the context, never in a million years would I guess that this quote was from a candidate who someday might be our president.

When she said that I literally turned to my friend and said “Gee, that’s funny, ’cause most of the military we’ve shipped over there is brown.

I just saw the bit where Biden was choking up about his family’s accident, followed by Miss Congeniality smiling at the camera and telling us all about her cool new boyfriend.
What a sociopath. She didn’t even know how to pretend to acknowledge his loss.

After shitting all over Obama’s preference for a diplomatic approach to international relations, she says, in response to being asked about all the leaders who engaged in diplomacy in the past, including Rethugs:
Ahem. Oh dear.
[Geez, for a moment I thought she was describing dictator Bush.]

btw, no spelling error in “Brock” because that’s how she pronounces Barack’s name. It’s infuriating. I hate her voice and her refusal to clearly pronounce words. It has nothing to do with her accent. It’s sheer laziness. I also think she’s laying on the hayseed act extra thick in the hopes that people won’t notice her lack of intelligence.

George Bush does that too.

The transcript won’t reflect her speaking voice. The editors will correct her hayseedisms.
I just fucking hate her for saying just now, “I’m so glad you love Israel like me and John McCain. That’s good to hear.”
Only a colossal bitch would stoop this low.

About an hour post-debate, Fixed News had their text poll result screen crawl revealing that Palin won the debate by a margin of 86% to 14%.
So did I miss it when Biden pulled his pants down and played the ukelele, singing “Yes, We Have No Bananas”?
Of course, if Palin actually did that it would be hockey mom “realness”, doncha know.
