The Palin Dicktrine


As we know, Sarah Palin is sequestered somewhere with some dubious "coaches," a few 6th grade history books and a Trivial Pursuit game to bring her up to speed on, oh everything for the Veep debate. How do ya suppose it's going?

Great animation of McCain Palin first day in office.

Sarah Palin could bite the head off a live rat in the debate and the media will be terrified to mention it, gosh, McCain might ban you from the Straight Talk Express, and we can't have that! Look what it did to Mo Dowd's career!

Every time I hear about the "Bush Doctrine" I'm reminded of a guy in New York in the early eighties that was arrested for slugging someone. He gets up in front of the judge and says, "Well, you honor, I thought he was going to hit me, so I hit him back first."

Loved the animation Liz. You can bet she will appear to do better than in the Couric interviews. She will probably have more lee-way to avoid answering due to the time constraints. She's being prepped with cliches and zingers for sound bites. If she gets a couple of those off, they'll say she was brilliant and won the debate. If Biden tries it,of course, he'll be disrespectful and condescending.

Someone ought to "sweep" the electromagnetic spectrum for signals during the debate. James Randi did something similar years ago to catch a preacher who was being secretly fed information about the people he was speaking with in the audience.

Wish that would work, but it really won't matter if the press comes out with an "Exposed: Palin Wearing Earpiece In Debate". The GOP spinmasters will either flatly deny it, or embrace it with open arms, saying it was "necessary" to help "even the score against the media/elite/experience/intellectuals". And then Fox will continue to praise her speech as if nothing ever happened. Remember Saddleback / "Cone Of Silence"? Worked for Bush, it's almost certain they will try it again. They should hope there are no back shots revealing a large bump on the back of her Valentino suit jacket.

However, it doesn't really matter... she could be anointed the "Chosen One" to bring about the Apocalypse, and be welcomed with trumpeting angels from the heavens during the debate. As much as they try to spin it, the VP debate will NOT decide the election. I'm getting the feeling that America (aside from the rabid GOP fundie base) is fed up with the sensationalism.

I agree with you that the public is fed up with sensationalism and hype. They are not in the mood for "cute". Right now people seem to be looking for solutions and real answers and the polls are rightfully showing that Obama and Biden are delivering.

And hopefully, Biden is studying his 6th grade books too, so he'll actually know who was president at the time of the crash and that there was no TV.

Do you earn money at this?

I gotta get busy here.

Funny, I was thnkin' the same thing....and I'm for Obama/Biden......
09:40 PM on 09/30/2008
no, I don't earn money doing this, but based on your comment record, you obviously do!

Brokow should recuse himself now.

Strangely enough, that totally cleared up the "Bush doctrine" for me. Thanks.

Palin is off testing the theatrical style earpiece that she will be wearing.

Palin will be wearing her hair down and sporting one of those tiny earpieces that actors wear that allows them to be fed their lines.

Take not of the 6 second delay that Palin will have before answering any direct question and while Biden is speaking she will be franticly writing notes from the responses that she will be fed to use in follow up questions.

BTW

I would not put it past Brokow to have given the McCain camp a copy of all of the questions. Brokow is such a big McCain suck up.

If the woman who is the interlocutor of the VP debate has given questions she'll ask to Brokaw to give to the McCain camp that's on her. I don't know who she is, but I hope she isn't that partisan.

The woman is Glen Ifill, the managing editor and moderator for PBS Washington Week; she's smart, tough and effective, and she's probably the least partisan moderator out of all of the debates. I highly respect her. She'll "shake it up" on both sides, and I'm expecting it!
