wow! glad to hear it!

lets see how this plays out: Debate poll says Biden won, Palin beat expectations

the debate: resurrect my faith, please ... anyone?

not to be too elitist--actually, i prefer it to being dumb. but suddenly i have the urge to re-read MacBeth. especially the parts about the lady.

ok ...

• she didn't stammer
• gave a few folksy "joe-sixpack" gal winks
• said she was glad to hear joe was a friend to israel [oh ya, she's such a friend to those "misguided" jews*]
• was such a fan of women's rights [r u kidding????????????]
• gave a shout out and extra credit to third graders
• said the word "tolerant"

*i was being ironic there, folks

and has a firm butt.

oh ... and of course went on and on about those evil taxes ... even when she wasn't asked.

i'm afraid folks, that may be enough to move the needle on bubba voters who didn't notice there were questions she didn't answer ... and who were looking for a reason--any reason--not to vote for obama.

and why, for god's sake, did joe not say ... those rich people you don't want to pay for things. they've been getting a free pass for eight freakin' years. time for some comeuppance to the piper. have we seen anything substantial in the way of job creation under your daddy bush's gameplan? NO, goddamnit ... we've lost 600,000 jobs in this country just this last year! [don't quote me on that statistic, but it's something like that, give or take a zero]. what makes you think that grandaddy mccain's repeat plan will suddenly succeed? isn't that the definition of insanity?

so, girlfriend, you're just gonna bet on a wing and a prayer this notion is gonna miraculously create jobs. [oh ya, i forgot. she believes prayer can actually do those things]. and then you're gonna make YOUR kids pay later--with interest--for YOUR irresponsibility! that for sure ain't what my pappa taught me was right. someone, please tell me why that never get's mentioned?!

and how about this whole "gov't has to be more efficient" mantra. weeeeeeeeelll, let's start with planning to get out of a misbegotten war [aka "a task from god"] in Iraq. Responsibly, you beeyotch. No one's talking about waving a white flag of surrender, you ... achem. but plan we must. so why is the obama camp only using a teensy weensy itsy bitsy brush to fill in the big fat line b/w iraq and our current stinker of an economy? does borrowing from china to pay for war reflect that folksy fiscal responsibility i've heard rumor conservative's love?

and what did she prove? she knows how to regurgitate with a little style. i don't know. maybe i've been brainwashed by the media ... that all she needed to do was speak in complete sentences to "win." don't get me wrong. joe was statesmanly, knowlegable, empathic ... and even sweet.

but geezus ... i saw that glimmer in joe's eye. he TOTALLY wanted to doink her [and maybe smack her at the same time]! a woman [ya ... i am one] knows these things. i wanted to yell, "NO JOE! DON'T LOOK! just turn away, look straight ahead and clench that podium!"

i hate to say it, but i'm ye of little faith in the electorate's ability not to buy a barrel of horseshit just cause some cute, sassy chica with overblown ambition says it's gold.

and jeezus ... she held the baby.

i need more tequila shots.


p.s. joe's wife did NOT like her. did you see how pinched her face was when they were "chatting" at the end!

p.p.s. oh ya. and wolves. how come no one ever brings up those poor wolves?
