Back from the Phantom Zone, and ready to drink shots of Patron.

Let’s get it on, Klondike Girl. There can be only ONE.

Patron, huh.  Just my Joie six-pack of coors light here.

I like to stay sober when I hear someone with an IQ as high as Palin’s. Doing so helps me follow along.

Denise—Didn’t mean to sound elitist. ;-> The Patron’s been here since Christmas, but the six of Iron City is brandy new. I am an equal-opportunity alkie.

So tonight I will be nodding my head a lot, cuz I’m gonna git it when she speaks.

Pop—As you know, she has vast resources of knowledge available to her. We can’t be expected to keep up.

Iron City is for moose-humpers. Yiengling is the only Commonwealth beer worth drinking.

We can’t be expected to keep up.

Fuck it ... I’m getting wasted then.

Is Kevin off at a real, live debate party again?

Don’t you try to out-Proletariat ME, Humboldt.

Advice to Joe: Release the Kraken!

Is Kevin off at a real, live debate party again?

Prolly ... that’s rude, innit?

Joe starting strong.

“Soccer.” “Betcha.”

Ooopa!

U betcha she says!

“Team of mavericks.”

Ooopa!

John McCain suspended his reality along with his campaign. This debate is gonna blow, it gives mrs. Moosefucker a chance to spout platitudes.

“Team of Mavericks” - Can’t be led, can’t lead.

Simplified Biden-Palin drinking game:  When Palin is speaking, continue drinking until you are numb to the dishonest talking points.

Oh barf - joe six pack

Hockey Mom!

Palin is missing the Community Reinvestment Act slam. She’s blaming the predatory lenders. She wants regulation.

Soccer!

Fuck she’s annoying ... 94 tihmmmmessss .... it’s her fucking hiss, I’m tellin’ ya.

Joe’s calling her bullshit.

she’s just cute as a button!

“Redistribution of wealth.” Filthy harridan.

Now she’s getting lost in her own explanation. Excellent!

OK, now I’M getting lost in her explanation.

This is like watching me play basketball against my newphew when he was 9. It wasn’t an even matchup and it wasn’t fair .... bridge to nowhere!

If you like canned talking points, she’s doing very well.

Yeah, she’s good with a script.

Yes, Sarah, answer the question.

Denise—Not only that, but she is REALLY, REALLY hot. Plus, she wants the people to come first…which is damned decent of her, and words I’ve NEVER heard from a date.

Bless your hearts! She sounds like she’s delivering a bunch of mantras. I like what Biden did with the health care question. He rocked that question.

Please, please say the words “Keating Five”

We have John MCCain to theeenk.

When did McCain warn anybody about anything?

WHEN IS GWEN IFILL GOING TO BRING UP THE PHIL BERG LAWSUIT? SHE IS SOOOO IN THE TANK FOR BARRY SOETORO.

Sorry. I was momentarily Pumatized.

Strange - back away from the pumapac blog.

“All over this great land.” Please, Kevin K., kill me before I am sawed in half by this woman’s serrated accent.

it’s quite plain that she can speak to nothing but energy policy.

She’s babbling and incoherent on climate change. She’s babbling and incoherent on every issue, but she looks good doing it and that’ll make the Redstaters cream.

Palin has officially slipped into Random Phrase Generation Mode. Biden is murdering her. This is like a political snuff movie.

If I hear the words “clean coal” one more time I’m going to hunt each and every one of you down and tickle you until you scream. That’s not a threat. It’s a promise.

Jeebus - she keeps saying “hungry markets”

well, at least she succeeded in correcting Joe in the proper chant.

And ‘hungry markets’ isn’t even on the Palin bingo card.

And ‘hungry markets’ isn’t even on the Palin bingo card

It’s a new game from the Rpublican party to teach their members how to lie while smiling, similar to Hungry Hippos.

Palin is TOLERANT. She has MY vote!

Hehe ... maybe she means hungry masses.

“Surged.” “Pushed hard.” I can’t keep my pants on, God help me!

It’s not pronounced Eye-rack you dipshit. It’s Ih-rock. How fucking hard is that? She’s useless, she sounds like she just finished reading Ed Morrissey.

extreme snark from eschaton - “what does she know about early withdrawal?”

Oh motherfucking jesus on a dead corpse. The surge didn’t do a fucking thing you simple-minded parrot. We’ve been there since 2003 and it’s still a fucking mass-murdering debacle. And if I hear Dave Petraeus referred to as a great American one more time I’m gonna quit and move to Tblisi.

Governor Palin , what do you think of the bail out plan?
Palin: energy plan , and my expertise in energy will bring ponys and rainbows into everybody’s homes.

Governor Palin , what do you think of global warming?

Palin: energy plan , and my expertise in energy will bring ponys and rainbows into everybody’s homes.

Nucyoular

BINGO

The motherfucking Castro brothers? What? What the fuck? Are they traveling band of humorists?

I’m sorry but I’m outta here. To think that this woman has any place lecturing her betters is almost as bad as me lecturing the Fed on the bailout plan.

Humboldt, nowhere on earth could be this entertaining.

Christ. I had a client call me in the middle of this. What did I miss?

Go Joe, go. The same as George Bush’s!

Biden’s getting too worked up.

This is painful to watch and yeah, I’m biased, but she has no fucking clue as to what she is saying.

Dunt matter what’s coming out of her mouth .. she’s more composed, he’s getting too intense.

Palin’s nuclear answer is incoherent. Cool.

Afghanistan answer is incoherent. Cool.

I wish I could see through her clothes, though.

And stop saying Gwen’s first name. It sounds like “Charlie”.

I swear she’s cheating here.

I wish I could see through her clothes, though.

Did you see the clip of her jogging? I’m don’t think she was wearing a bra, but if he was, I’m near positive it wasn’t a sports bra. If you know what I mean.

*she

We have no NATO allies anymore in Afghanistan, and the counterinsurgency strategy isn’t working. Our commanders on the ground think Palin is crazy.

Well, she’s aced her exam. She has secured the right wing nutballs, lost the left ... the only question is how the undecideds see it.

Biden just called them Bosniacs. Clearly, Palin’s repetitive use of nucular is getting to him.

Well, she’s aced her exam.

If you like that whole reading off of crib sheets and tagging one talking point after another, then they’ll love her.

Pop—I agree that she’s satisfied the base, but she sounds absolutely nuts to anyone who’s impartially trying to extract meaning out of her words.

also, I don’t think Joe has been overexcited. He sems pretty level, and not drunk…which is a plus.

I don’t want Wasilla’s Main Street to determine my governmental policies. You have a hole in the ground you call a town, but fuck, you wouldn’t make it here in Humboldt County. We’re Rubes, Wasillans are stupid fucking Run\bes, they did elect Palin after all.

She just winked.

God damn her—if she says “Team of Mavericks” again, I hope Joe will describe himself as a “wigger.” Or, at least, he should make some reference to “Salt ‘n’ Peppa.”

Let’s get in the mud here.

Doggonnit!

And yes, she did all she had to do. She didn’t vomit on stage, other than to regurgitate Republican talking points, so, like I said earlier today, she did just fine.

“Doggone.” “There ya go again.”

That’s it. I hereby authorize Joe Biden to use the Omega 13 device on this woman.

Submitted without comment:

“I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh…people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and…I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., err, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our…”

There Biden was great ... talking about the Veep and Cheney.

Gag—American is a nation of exceptionalism.  But we are not perfect. Huh?

She has no business being on that stage.

OK - I take it all back ... she said maverick one too many times. She fucking flunks the exam. Git r outta here. She should have quit while she was ahead.

Pop—NO, we are not perfect. But we are men and women and a people who have, through turmoil and challenge, faced a long history of things that made betterness necessary, and improveness possible. To be Governor of the most vastly Arctic state of these America, is to know what Todd and I believe…which is that none but the brave can know for whom the bell tolls, even though the sun also rises. Here in Alaska, we got a thing called the Napoleonic Code. As far as I’m concerned, none dast judge this man, who, like John Galt, took the National Microphone to his lips and shouted, “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.”

Good night, and good dining.

My huddled masses are yearning to breathe free.

argghhhh.  She seriously hurt my head.

Did she say anything of consequence? Pat Buchanan thinks she was brilliant.

Toldja.

She didn’t do well, she was a repeating machine.

Pat Buchanan sez she wiped the floor with Buchanan.  Also sez she saved the campaign for McCain!

I saw that .. she did exactly what she needed to do. She was the charming psychopathic personality and won the empty-headed right.

NO!!!  I wanted a total train wreck between the two of them, but now I am left with disappointment.  What a bummer!

Watch this clip, and I agree with TPM that it’s odd ... and scary ... and face-palm inducing ...

She avoided a complete train wreck in the only way she could: She refused to answer the questions and recited talking points and attacks instead. The base, as represented by Pat Buchanan, is again wildly enthusiastic. 

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays. Surely people will notice that she completely ignored the questions? Right? Please?

Damn. She finished before I did.

If only she had said “betcha” or “nucular” one more time.

But, of course, MY satisfaction didn’t matter.

The media set the bar so low that the very fact that the intellectual gimp didn’t roll on the floor and speak in tongues was judged a win by some “pundits”. Watching the MSNBC spin fest, I was reminded once again why David Gregory and Pat Buchanon deserve to choke to death on a couple of John MCCain’s well used butt plugs.

OMG.  OMG.  What a total regurgitation of talking points with no real substance behind it.  Could not watch live (daughter’s 18th birthday, she insisted going out to cool sushi restaurant more important and besides we could just TEVO IT which we did and which I have now watched with rest of family and played Palin Bingo -  daughter won - so digesting all, including TORRID images after of Pat Buchanan coming all over himself - OMG again.)  Well, she didn’t fall down, trip over her own feet, etc as predicted earlier.  But what did she SAY???  To paraphrase a song “Absolutely Nothing!”  (Ummm, that’s “War” if you were wondering.  BTW “Ummm” one of my winning squares (did you catch it?) Still didn’t win though.)  So this was just not really a game changer.  But oh god, the wacky phrases, the “yuh knows”,  the “doncha’s”, the “yer lookin’ backwards”, the humanity, the humanity.  But good ole Joe SixPack America may just, ya know, luv it or somethin!!  Barack, make her go away!!

Apparently it’s really hard to find a babysitter for a special needs infant in St. Louis.

Wrench, or whatever the youngest daughter’s name is, seems to have taken over that bit.  And, ya know, she seems a lot more into Trig (Track, Trowel, what’s the name?) than Mommy Dearest.  (Not that I’m implying anything about Sarah’s parenting skills - no not at all! Why, all of my daughters have become pregnant before their 18th birthdays.  Oh wait.  I meant “pierced their ears.)

Is it just me or is that little baby REALLY unresponsive? I know he has Down Syndrome,but he should still be laughing,smiling,and making facial expressions and the like. He’s like a little baby doll,either sleeping(in these crowds with this much noise? Really?),or just staring ahead with no expressions. It’s just odd,and not all attributable to his disability. I’ve spent time with a couple of young kids with Down Syndrome and they were not like this at all. It’s just wierd.
