Are you ready for the debate tonight? By Geniusofdespair



What do you want to see, what will you be looking for? I bet Sarah will wear a red outfit.

Have you seen any of the "Colbert's Green Screen Challenge" videos? Apparently he challenged viewers to take the same few lines from a McCain speech and make a video parody. Here are two that were well done (I had to watch a lot of them to find these, some were awful):
Oldergeist and McCain vs. Madonna: Gray Ambition (this one was very funny).

OKAY, the debate is over what did you think? 10:50 P.M.

A heartbeat from the president? OMG.

When Couric asked her to name another Supreme Court case, in addition to Roe V. Wade, Palin couldn't come up with one. When Couric asked Palin what magazines she reads, she was stumped. I guess she could get the names of the next supreme court justice from People Magazine, or I suppose she could just ask the man on the street for names.

Give Sarah Palin a break! Here's a video with the true point of view:

Yeah that was some point of view.

The thing I don't get about blogging: I research and write a blog (put about 7 hours into it and Gimleteye also put time into it: The previous blog) and this blog that took me two minutes, gets a rally of response. I just will never get it. It is not quality, it is something else that lights up you readers...

I would suppose that we are easily amused. The other column, you had to think. I don't want to think.

Just watched the debate: why didn't she answer the moderator's questions? She was spinning before it was over.

Well, I watched the debate. If I hear the word "Maverick" one more time I am going to barf...and Joe Six Pack...what exactly is that suppose to mean? Anyway, there was no train wreck so it was pretty much a waste of my time. I thought the moderator could have forced one of them to actually answer the questions asked by reasking the question...

Overall the debate went well for both tickets, no major gaffes...Biden looked more at ease; obviously he has done more of these than Palin-he looked like he was on the Senate floor. Palin looked a little uptight but seemed more at ease addressing the people and may have connected more.

Now that this is out of the way, maybe everyone can remember that this is about the top of the ticket and not about a senator from deleware and a beauty queen from alaska. Because, at the end of the day, Alaska may be ok with a beauty queen/weather girl as their Governor, but the great United States is not ok with a beauty queen/weather girl as Vice President. Back to the financial meltdown......it's like watching an out of control amusement ride dispatching people out of their seats at the fastest speed around the sharpest corner on the highest curve....Are you all holding on tight??

"There was one player on the stage in St. Louis on Thursday night that really failed to meet the standard of professionalism and national leadership: moderator Gwen Ifill. Her questions often failed the first journalistic test: they failed to press the candidates to take or defend a stand, instead of letting them unload their talking points."

I am strangely depressed today. I cannot wait for this election to be over. It has me in a permanent funk,

I am afraid of what is to come.

Ms. Palin reminds me of one of those late night infomercial hostesses trying to sell you something that you don't need or want. No Sale! Because the right wing spinmeisters think she was great I can only hope that they now let her loose. That's something I want to see (as will YouTube).

She says insane things to two reporters...not just on thing, many things.

Yet in one appearance in the eyes of Republicans, she has redeemed herself and now is fit to lead our nation. Are we a nation of moron Republicans? This woman was a bad pick. They should just admit It says a lot about their candidate McCain.
