What will be Palin's excuse for skipping out on the debate with Biden?

[begin_within]

[Raven]

PMS?

[krabigirl]

28. good one

[LisaL]

1. He knows too much and it's just not fair.

In fact it's sexist for her to debate with him.
LOL.

[jgraz]

2. Her water broke.

[Hepburn]

4. You read my mind....

...that was the first thought I had when I read the title of this thread.

:hi:

[LisaL]

5. Not gonna fly. That shouldn't stop her.

LOL.

[jgraz]

9. Her kid has another bout of 8-month mono?

[jgraz]

12. Taaaahdd has an epic snow-machine race?

[jgraz]

She pulled over to club a wolf cub to death?

[jgraz]

17. The rapture?

[Basement Beat]

27. LMAO!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Don't Get Your Hopes Up

If she doesn't drool all over herself the MSM will declare her the victor.

[Starry Messenger]

6. At this point...the vapors?

Gods, the suffragettes must be rolling in their graves this month.

MPK

[justiceischeap]

7. I'll bet she shows up to the debates with her hair down

To cover the ear piece feeding her the answers.

[gateley]

11. I think that's a legitimate concern - I hope there are safeguards against it. nt

[scheming daemons]

8. Her daughter will conveniently have a "pre-natal emergency" a few days before...

And she'll have to fly home to be with her.

It will either be a fake miscarriage (because she's not really pregnant)....

Or... if she is really pregnant... it will be a "false labor" and everything will end up being just fine... but Gov. Palin will come off looking like Mom of the Year for skipping the debate to be with her daughter.

[madeline_con]

13. The anticipated "miscarriage" to cover for Trig's birth.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

[madeline_con]

16. DUPE caused by button-pushing frenzy!

[begin_within]

23. That sounds like Palin's perfect excuse.

[Mimosa]

47. That'll be it, I bet

scheming demons I think you've got it.

[madeline_con]

10. Trig is sick, he needs his Mommy. n/t

[Ikonoklast]

34. So, Bristol's there

You mean Grandma.

[harun]

14. Morning sickness.

[Imagevision]

15. A woman's prerogative?

[begin_within]

19. good one.

[Kierkegaard]

18. She'll be too busy preparing her Mattel Caribou Barbie doll for market.

Gotta have priorities.

[tridim]

20. My guess is that Rove will make up a story about Biden getting the questions beforehand.

He'll report it on Fox and it'll quickly spread to the rest of the media.

Then, everyone will understand why Palin can't compete with Biden. It's just not fair! In fact, Joe and the entire debate committee should apologize to Palin and declare her the winner by default.

[GoldenOldie]

21. I vote with hair down to cover ear piece

Hell she covered up being pregnant for 7-months, no telling what the high-tech Cons can do to make her appear that she knows whats going on in the real world.

[tridim]

29. The best part is they can install the transmitter in her beehive

No wires running down her back. Maybe that's why she's MIA now, they're digging out a cavity and installing the electronics.

[libertad]

32. Very funny! That will be alot easier to hide than the hump on W's back

during all of his debates.

[begin_within]

22. And ignore Palin getting the answers beforehand...

[Joe Bacon]

24. George Will will steal Biden's debate prep book.

He gave Carter's debate prep book to Reagan and got away with it.

[michaz]

25. That he won't defer to her opinions. n/t

[jakem]

26. Bristol 'miscarriage'?

[WinkyDink]

30. Liberal Media bias in format and moderators. (Truth? What truth?!)

[GoesTo11]

39. Obviously this - it's a 3-fer

Gets her out of the debate
Gets a dig at the media
Works the refs so they capitulate even more to the Republicans

[secondwind]

31. TRIG IS HUNGRY..........HAVE TO BREASTFEED

[Overseas]

33. She won't need an excuse. Corp media will softball and RNC canned replies

will have been memorized.

She'll have a few new punchlines to throw into the mix, probably about how smart people screw up sometimes. Smart people didn't keep us safe on 9/11. (Never mind that it was Condi and Cheney et al that ignored the glaring headlines on their August briefing.)

She'll also have some vague paragraphs to plug in as commentary on various topics. Memorized ready to roll for each category of questions.

And yes, the earpiece and sound box is a definite possibility.

But she'll have a lot memorized, ready to dish out like many Republicans do.

I honestly don't think the reporters moderating the panel will ask anything like:
"What do you think the election of Taro Aso will mean to this country?"

[Imagevision]

35. Palin; "excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom with that smile...

[kestrel91316]

36. Sick baby.

[thestrugglecontinues]

37. I Like the Palin/Cheney face morph

She does share a lot of Cheney's policies and thoughts, I'm sure. But I do think she will show up for the debate with Biden.

[begin_within]

44. Here's a larger version

[yourguide]

38. GOT IT!!!!

It is then, and only then, she will decide to appear before the alaska state legislature to deal with the troopergate charges.

[begin_within]

43. Ha ha! Country first.

[kiranon]

40. Bristol's gone into labor. n/t

[Barack_America]

41. Withdrawing as the GOP's VP candidate.

That's the only "excuse" the American people will accept.

[Retrograde]

42. up all night with a colicky baby

[JackBeck]

45. She's finalizing the adoption...

Of one of Bush's Snowflake Babies.

[Parker CA]

46. She'll be wired. She will do much better than expected.

[tritsofme]

48. People in the media will spread stupid memes like this, and then she will "win"

With the bar lowered to the ground for her performance.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

49. As she was Holy Rollering across the floor of her church, an angel appeared

in the form of Saint Ronald Reagan and told her not to go on the debate.

[mitchum]

50. "Mono" seems to be a Palin family favorite

[alfredo]

51. She will make some non negotiable demands of the hosts and Biden.

Then blame them for not being flexible.
