1. How bad is it, truly,

that Biden said that? Are the Rs just taking it and running with it to their advantage?

[shotten99]

2. It's not a big deal

Every president is going to be tested. That's a given.
Watch their faces sink during the Powell quote. They couldn't hide it.

[Eurobabe]

3. Couldn't watch the whole thing, endless BS and spin

and WTF is up with Palin's miniskirt?? She is a shameless hussy.

[thunderchicken]

7. Palin's skirt

Did anyone else notice that McCain is constantly looking at her legs while she is talking and the camera is panned back?

[aviationpm]

4. McCain says Lieberman would have probably...

voted for somebody within his own party. Really? Who is the independent party nominee?

[Eurobabe]

5. Hey one more thing, are Barack and Joe going to get equal time

from Mr. Sunbed?

[Adsos Letter]

12. Hey!

Are you and MissHoneychurch still sojourning among the French?

[Eurobabe]

13. No we are home, and I have an unwelcome visitor

her cold. :spank:

Paris was fun, the weather was gorgeous, I've just been to lazy and sneezy to upload my pix.

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

16. What?! No rioting in the Place de la Concorde?!!!

...you ladies have disappointed me... :D

Hope you feel better soon.

:hi:

6. Bidens comment

Why aren't we hearing more of the quote from Biden where after he says that Obama will be tested, he says something like the guy (Obama) has a spine of steel? I'm sure I heard that.

[armed_and_liberal]

8. Is John McCain "all there" ?

He talks like he is about 1 minute behind the conversation,he also repeated himself a couple of times. I'm sure he is just tired from the campaign but it does make you wonder if he is mentally up to the job of being President.

[bugisbug]

9. Ah...

Schadenfreude.

Can't you just feel the love in the room?

[EnviroBat]

10. Ugh, I can't even watch 1 complete minute of this shit.

Two of the lamest jokes ever perpetrated on the American people sitting there acting as if they have any fucking integrity. They are losers in every sense of the word, and it feels like we are living in some surreal nightmare anytime they are on camera. I think "Oh my God, what has happened to my country that would allow people this vapid to be running for pres and VP?" Then I think about President Barack Obama, and I feel better...

11. McCain/Palin Interview

Unbelievably sickening .... absolutely nothing new or aspiring ... same old political sound bites! All Palin added was confirmation that she is a cheap, cheesy ornament to stir a few horny rednecks. She in no way represents class and professionalism.
Very painful to watch ... :kick:

[psychopomp]

14. @2:44: "Senator O'Biden?"

The wheels are somewhere about 125km behind the 'Straight Talk Express!'

15. Very good article on how "tested" McCain has been

This Is Not a TestSitting on an aircraft-carrier deck in 1962 didn't prepare John McCain for the presidency. By Fred Kaplan

In the last few days, Sen. John McCain has told crowds that he's "been tested" when it comes to dealing with international crises, and as proof he cited the big enchilada of crises, the showdown over Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962. "I had a little personal experience in that," McCain said in Ohio. "I was there."

But where was "there"? Was McCain a White House fellow or a junior aide in the Pentagon, watching, albeit from a distance, while President John Kennedy or Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara grappled with the dilemmas?

<snip>

I mean no disrespect for carrier pilots, especially those poised for combat. The job requires a special sort of skill, nerve, and bravery that few of us have ever faced. (Certainly I never have.) But it is not at all clear how this experience tested McCain—or any of the other pilots on the four aircraft carriers off the coast of Cuba—for the job of making strategic decisions in a crisis, any more than working an assembly line tests someone to be president of a major manufacturing corporation.

As a 26-year-old Navy lieutenant in October 1962, John McCain was prepared to follow orders, fly his plane along a predetermined path to a preselected target, drop his preloaded bombs, and fly back. Again, this is not to be minimized. But neither does it constitute being "tested" to be—either then or 46 years later—the president of the United States.
