Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, the Vice Presidential debates, yeah? Oh, rigghhtttt. Right, right, right.
This may be the first time that the VP debates are scooping up more interest than the Presidential debates. I mean, did we really see anything too unexpected from either Obama or McCain last Friday?
But all eyes are on Sarah Palin tonight as she debates Biden in St. Louis tonight. I think the common theory is that, of course, Biden will win, but… and there’s always a but. Will she prove herself to be the Queen of the nonanswer? Will she make him look like a mean, pandering sexist old bastard? Will all the dials get tweaked and turned that the behind the scenes folks and the spin experts want tweaked and turned? Will a cool, calm, and collected Governor of Alaska show up tonight or will it be the unversed dorky performer we’ve seen the last few weeks? Which Biden will show up? Will she prove her readiness? Will the word “fundamental” get bandied about another hundred thousand times? Are we in for a fairly hebetudinous affair? Will Palin completely draw a blank when it comes to answering any real questions? Will there be any real answers out of either of them? And of course, will they keep trying to make a big deal out of the upcoming Gwen Ifill book, which hasn’t really been a secret?
Should be exciting.
Ephemera, errata, enmity, esoterica, etc.
Great moments in VP debate history.
Sarah Palin: “You can’t blink, Charlie.” Or name a single fucking newspaper in this country.

Flirting with Palin will get your ass fatwa’d.
Falling snow on Mars!
McCain has apparently turned to Palin for foreign policy advice many times in the past. (The past month?)
Is Sarah Palin Cthulhu in disguise?! (It is Cthulhu Cthursday, after all.)
Putin on robots, sex, and Cthulhu.
Excellent news: British women’s breasts bigger than ever!

Palin: “Sweat is my sanity.”
Jesus Christ, Super Wizard.
That is my biggest worry tonight, that she’ll bring it the way she did at the RNC. Also, a lot of people like her constant fuck ups. A writer at the washington post, a conservative wrote a column asking her to step down and got a shit load of hate mail. People like that she’s an outsider, and that she knows nothing.
I’m excited and can’t wait to get some good laughs!
Eh, the RNC was totally scripted for her, she might actually have to think on her feet a little this time. And we’ve seen how that turns out (even with notes, talking to katie)
And the CCN insta-poll says……
Who won:
Biden = 51%
Palin = 36%
“With the first pick in the 2012 draft, the Republican Party selects…”
I think Sarah Palin thought on her feet a little too much. Avoiding questions at every cost, only talking about what she wanted… Wait, I guess the RNC did totally script that for her.
Man, if you were to play a drinking game last night where you threw back a shot each time the word “maverick” was uttered… Well, I’d have been hammered half way through that circus.
Well, the RNC was scripted for her, but she killed it with the delivery, which is what matters to a lot of people. Anyway, she clearly just memorized her talking points and that was that. All I want to know is who is Joe SixPack and is he single?
