First: "Kin I call ya Jowe?" Then .....

[Stinky The Clown]

... the only time she calls him Joe is when she sez "See? Theer ya gowe agin, Jowe .... "

Fuck you, you disingenuous poseur. Get off our world stage. You make us look stupid.

[NeedleCast]

1. Painful to watch

[countingbluecars]

2. Yes, she was just setting up

to use that line.

[billymike]

3. blech

I wouldn't let my own mother, rest her soul--especially as she must be spinning in her grave over McCain/Palin--speak to me the way Palin spoke to me, a viewing public votin' guy, last night. Joe Six Pack indeed! Belies the Republican-neocon-eugenics perception of the Great Unwashed as bridled cattle. They certainly believe in IQ, and believe it is directly related to net worth$, good breeding, they think. She winked like a Hooters employee picking up a too-small tip. Their campaign is doomed by our youth, who will mop up the floor with their votes.

[billymike]

7. revision

So sorry: I meant "viewin' public," not "viewing." What a dolt she is.

[earth mom]

4. Palin also said "Say it ain't so Joe". It was obvious that she asked him if she could call him Joe

was strictly so she could say that line. :grr:

[Not the Only One]

33. Well, I have to give the devil her due.

It was very clever. You can tell that that's how she rose to power so quickly. I said "fuck you" to her when she said it (and I thought the same thing immediately, that she set him up), but I respected her craftiness.

[ogneopasno]

5. "Say it ain't so, Joe!" she said.

Well, actually, she rushed the line so bad it sounded memorized. Which, of course, it was.

[shraby]

6. Why do you think she uses the "Joe 6 pack" thing?

It subtley connects Joe Biden as a drinker.

[billymike]

10. more a reflection...

of her party's disdain for "people like her." Strips us of our dignity, one sidestep away from "redneck." Remember Carly Fiorino's gaffe about rednecks?

[marions ghost]

11. good point

Sarah called HERSELF "Joe Six Pack"

Wouldn't think she'd want to use the name of her opponent wouldja, unless it's some kind of sick attempt at appropriation...

[billymike]

14. YES!!! appropriation is the word! thank you! nt

[lib2DaBone]

8. Then she sez.."Say it ain't-so Joe"........"Your wife of 30 years got her reward?"

My English teacher told me there Ain't no such word as AIN'T. But skipping that and NUKUULOR, what was that crack about Joe's wife of 30 yers getting her "Reward"? Did hear wrong? Is that the meanist, cruelist attack on a person? This woman should die a slow death....you Betcha.

[billymike]

12. b/c of death? reward in heaven?

anyone have link to transcript of this comment? chillingly weird...

[TahitiNut]

13. That was inexplicably tasteless and condescending. Appalling.

She got away with vicious and vacuous insults ... and Biden couldn't go there. Ridiculous.

[Contrary1]

15. You misunderstood...not hard to do with Palin, since she never really answers a question.

She was referring to his current wife being a teacher.

"I know education you are passionate about with your wife being a teacher for 30 years, and god bless her. Her reward is in heaven."

[billymike]

17. in heaven. . .

because she couldn't get more than shit for salary here.

[XOKCowboy]

27. You are right...

It was about his current wife. I thought her remark was at least disingenuous. Republicans have been tearing down the public school system for decades and have no plan to do otherwise. They want vouchers so that their kids won't have to deal with "problem kids" meaning anyone not of their social class and skin color.

[slampoet]

29. I think she wanted to remind him of his dead wife.

Before the debate I defined the ABSOLUTE ZERO point for Palin as her not remembering that Biden's wife and child died and making that gaffe.


I saw that as the Worst Case Scenario......and here she is flirting with that just to try a rattle him.


It was sickening.

[Warpy]

9. I watched on CNN with the sound on and with the sound off

and noticed a few things. Biden looked calm and cool as a cucumber. Palin was tense and often flustered. When Palin mentioned Magoo's name, the graph tracking her favorability took a dive. It happened every single time she mentioned him. As the debate wore on and on and on, her numbers tended to drift downward, as they did the longer she spoke in any one segment. Biden's numbers reflected what he was talking about, spikes for most items, dives for taxes.

The interesting poll to watch will come out Monday after people have had a day or two to digest what they saw and heard.

[billymike]

18. hydra

She literally was two-faced: one when biden spoke and she kept her head down concentrating on (what?)....the other when she spoke, everything changed: dark to fake light. that lopsided grin!

[marions ghost]

19. Ha ha

as long as she doesn't mention McGoo, she does OK...

"Biden was cool as a cucumber." Yeah this was like Debating 101 for him. He wasn't even getting agood workout. Just had to keep from getting bored and yawning...

[intheflow]

32. I noticed on the CNN graph that women did not seem to care much for Sarah.

Her ratings with them were just about always below the men. At one point she said something like, "Blah, blah, blah rape the planet blah, blah." The word "rape" caused the women to nosedive, though the men were unaffected. They also dove when she winked. So much for picking her because she'll appeal to other people with vaginas.

[billymike]

16. chris matthews last night

Did anyone else hear CM say last night post-debate that Palin "knew the questions" and then make a reference to a spelling bee? It was when Buchanan and E. Robinson were on a split screen commenting on the debate.

[intheflow]

23. I heard that, too.

I thought the debate was supposed to be unscripted?

But then. if she really knew the questions, you think she would have actually answered one, wouldn't you? :shrug:

[GalleryGod]

26. "She was more like a CONTESTANT than a candidate !"

Tweety's BEST line!

[gratuitous]

20. I disagree

Sarah Palin doesn't make "us" look stupid. But I have to say I've lost a lot of respect for Alaskans.

[billymike]

21. i believe she thinks we are stupid &

her handlers hope we are. She thinks she is smarter, so she talks down to us, b/c she "rose to success (1 mil net worth)" from the land of six packs. The old "I used to be one of them" meme.

[Stinky The Clown]

22. The 'us' in the OP was Us, The American People as seen on the world stage

After electing and then REelecting Idiot Son, we should up with an ever bigger moron.

It is in that sense that she makes ALL Americans look bad (on the world stage).

[Jack Rabbit]

24. You need to bone up on your history, mate

Just when did Bush win a clean presidential election?

[billymike]

30. I am certain that the world's population as a whole

are smarter than that. They know bad acting when they see it, just like you and me and the majority of Americans. I'm tired of the lie that we are largely a nation of idiots without discernment.

[GalleryGod]

25. Douchebag for Cheney-Liberty.

Her whole regime is filthy,corrupt.
The only BAD news is for Ann Coulter.
Annie? There's a purtier, SASSY, NEW girl at the GOPAC Prom,now!:wow:

[Riggs1]

28. she just wanted to make sure

She just wanted to make sure it was ok because in Alaska Joe means "horses ass". I thought it was polite and thoughtful.

[fortyfeetunder]

31. Amazing, this coming from Palin, who demands 'deference'

She has to be a couple of cans shy of that six-pack. She was at times disrespectful of Sen. Biden.

When she used the word "Doggoneit" she erased any last vestiges of credibility she thought to have had. She might as well have said dammit....
