Thursday! Thursday! Thursday! Sarah Palin vs Joe Biden
In case you haven't heard, Gwen Ifill, the lady who will be moderating tonight's debate is writing a book called "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama", about black politicians. The book was announced in July, it's been in Random House's catalog and is due out in January. Reporters have written articles about it introducing her as "Author of the soon to be released book". The choice of moderator was agreed on at the beginning of August (August 7th) by both the Obama and McCain camps, long before Palin was even picked or announced by the McCain campaign on August 29th. So suddenly 48 hours before the debate, the McCain camp is suddenly up in arms about some imaginary conflict of interest by this woman and her book.
and I would add that if they really didn't know despite spending millions on campaign staff, researchers and bloggers, not only are they morons but they do not deserve to actually hold the highest offices in the land.
And of course the wingnut-o-sphere, looking for any excuse to blame whatever gaffs Palin makes in the debate on something other than Palin's lack of competence, picked it up and is running with it.
Anyway, I'm 90% certain that the Barracuda is going to tank like Happy Days after Arthur Fonzarelli jumped over the shark. I've heard some of her Wasilla opponents talking about how well she bullshits. But based on her previous performance I'm pretty sure that Joey "The Shark" Biden is going to being having mooseburgers for breakfast.
Immediately afterwards the right wing will of course claim victory no matter what happens. Sarah Palin's brain could overload causing her to immolate and they'd still say she won. In fact much like the debate between Obama and McCain - they'll probably have already put up ads everywhere that she won about two and a half minutes before the debate even starts. So the question will be, what will the Republican party's excuse be for her performance. Chime in then we can vote on them or something and whoever gets closest to the real excuse gets $700 billion dollars in imaginary tax relief. So, here are my top ten. Chime in and we'll see what we all think.
1. The sun was in her eyes
2. Witchcraft.
3. Gwen Ifill is a sexist misogynist.
4. Palin was worried about her stock values falling.
5. She was worried Putin might make a fly over.
6. It's moose season.
7. The moderator was not treating her with proper deference.
8. The teleprompter broke.
9. Damned liberals and their gotcha journalism.
10. Palin was so distracted coming up with the plan to solve the energy crisis, the wall street crisis, curing cancer and wondering how to convince America that it is 'Gods Plan' for us to invade Iran that she forgot the answer to the question.
Update: McCain was asked by his buddies on Faux News if he thought that the book was a conflict of interest.
So about 10pm tonight when the McCain camp and the entire wingnut-o-sphere starts crying 'conflict of interest' you heard it from John McCain's own lips first.
