Arkansas Blog

Watched about 5 minutes of the debate. Made up my mind that I still don't like McCain and that, even though I would prefer Hillary, I'd vote for Obama 1,000 times if I could.

(By the way, the first sentence in this thread needs to be changed. I don't think that Palin has become the Governor of Arkansas, at least not yet.)

McCain Camp insiders say Palin "clueless"

Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people are more than concerned about Palin. The campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as "disastrous." One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, "What are we going to do?" The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is "clueless."

By golly, I can hardly wait for the Vice-Presidential debate between this Palin airhead and Joe Biden. Just the thought of it makes my head spin.

Can anyone say "DISASTER?'

My prediction is that she will have a pregnancy emergency shortly before the debate is scheduled to take place. (Either she will report that she is miscarrying or that Bristol is, one or the other). No way in the world will the Republicans allow the travesty to take place that her participation in such a debate would foreshadow.

"John McCain showed up without running mate Sarah Palin, which is a shame because she actually has a lot of experience with financial matters. You know, she lives right next to a bank." --Jimmy Kimmel,

Just got back from dropping in on Norma's blog, the best question of the night was asked by her.

"Where's McCain's flag lapel pin?

Strangelove, do you know?

OK, jazzy, I triple dog dare you to order one of these! Clicky

Normally I skip the debates; but I'm tuning in for the Palen/Biden one. Though I may have to tune out before it becomes too painful.

Any chance this is all about lowering expectations so she can wow people?

Couric put Gibson to shame. It was a good, fair interview; his was...obvious why they picked him for the first interview.

I like the t-shirt, cato...

Beware the dumber than dogshit voting bloc.
They're dumber than dogshit and they vote.

I'm waiting for the "Caribou Barbie" t-shirt!

Palin is stupid. Beebe will be sad to know that she has replaced him as the governor of Arkansas.
(Just kidding, Max!)
Did I mention that Palin is stupid?
A college degree usually indicates that a person is educated, but, but, but, Sweet , sweet Sarah puddled jumped around - attended, what, five colleges in six years? BIG RED FLAG. Dumb as a box of rocks.
But still appealing to the abortion, gun and gay haters.
Get busy, folks, it's religion versus sanity that decides this election.

Look, I have got to call a spade a spade. She just didn't do well. Saying 'I'll have to get back with you on that' was a terrible soundbite. It made me cringe and I like her. VP is a nothing job and anyone can do it but she gives me pause. I'm just glad I'm not voting.

McCain's flag lapel pin----maybe he lost it at the white house conference.

Oh it's just sad. You know like Palin saying her ability to see Russia from Alaska gives her foreign affairs experience....I have big doubts about the value of marching her around to spend 10 minutes with a bunch of foreign leaders.

You know I've been to the Tulsa Zoo several times in my life. I have seen polar bears and seals and tigers and elephants and all that. And while that all was AN experience for me, I can't say it gave me a lot of experience or knowledge of wild animals. I'm sure as hell not Marlin Perkins though I wish I could have some of his insurance....hint hint hint.

If there going to go this route with Sarah and star her in The Education of Sarah Palin.....tune in next week when they take Sarah to meet a big Air Force plane returning from Iraq. Let her see what's inside the flag draped coffins. Let her put her fingers thru the rotting ground up flesh of what used to be a happy young American kid. Let her get a whiff of human bowels torn apart by bullets and explosions. Then she can pass herself off as an expert on war.

Next time let her visit the site of a hate crime. Let her see the dead body of a gay boy hung in a bobbed-wire fence and see what someone looks like when they're beaten to an unrecognizable pulp. Then she can consult with her witchdoctor preacher and come up with her own white paper on hate in America.

If a 30 minute tour will make her an expert, she's got time to learn everything there is to know on earth between now and November 4th. Next week on the next episode of The Education of Sarah Palin, Sarah takes a spin in The Spirit of Strom Thurman, in Cheney's flying Airstream trailer and sits in on a secret meeting between Exxon, Halliburton, and Satan Spawn of Darkness in order that she can tell Katie she's an expert on American's energy policy. Oh god.....please let Bobby Ewing come out of that shower and let this all just be a bad dream.
