ellenkushnerThey chose a black woman for moderator! Smart. Step on everyone's weirdnesses. I love this election.
omg, Palin's wearing "come f**k me" heels!!!
She does have a tight little bod. Now I know why my leftie guy friends say they are guilty of finding her attractive. Those are great glasses; too bad they are much too cool for that stupid haircut.
"Hear at any soccer game..." ARRHHHH!! Well, check that one off the list. Unless she pulls it out again.
How did McCain suspend his campaign, again...??
omg. Did she just wink at us?
"Joe Six-Pack: Never again!" Words to live by.
Darn right. Why does PalinBingo not have "Darn right"?
Oh, god; Joe, Joe - stop talking about John. In fact, could you both please refer to one another's candidates as Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama? It was sweet of her to ask Biden if she could call him Joe - but does that have to extend to "Barack"? I appreciate Biden's exposing McCain's various weaknesses & perfides; but I want more about how cool U enlightened Obama's policies are.
She's got a great screen persona. Looks right into the camera with a winning smile. She looks and sounds exactly like someone on a commercial for floorwax or personal care or dessert from a mix or something. Sell me, Sarah, sell me!
Joe. Look into the camera, Joe! Wow he's got big teeth. And so white. I hate this nation of bleached teeth.
She's gonna stop the greed and corruption on Wall Street? Must be those Jews. Darn it.
Ooo, good one, Joe. Political jujitsu: turn her own oil tax move against McCain.
Corruption & greed on Wall Street - again! Where's my shotgun? Or my Palin Bingo Card?
Joe, Joe, what are you doing?! You're not sure about the McCain/Palin stand on something, and you're bringing it into the debate? Don't give them an opening!!
Good thing she's a moron, and is able to bring everything down tot the level of a TV commercial. We're screwed.
"If you don't understand what the cause is, it's virtually impossible to come up wtih the solution." Oh, thank you, Joe! A soundbyte at last.
Same Sex - "constittutional" - yeah! How good to know SP is "tolerant." I love being tolerated.
"Let's try to avoid nuance" - oh dear.
(Delia sticking head in: God, what a - what a weasel.)
EYE-RACK - agghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! stop!!!!!!!! could we possibly please move our troops somewhere else, just so you can mispronounce a different word????? It's too late for "Nucular," I guess.
"Umm..." (tries to remember what she was supposed to say when ending the war comes up - oh, yeah: ) "Your plan is a white flag of surrender." Oh, Sarah, you wound me with your cruel words!
Oh, yeah, Joe: Scare us! Good man. Show us how much you actually know about Pakistan, etc. Don't you have some kind of job that involves all that stuff?
"NUKE-you-ler" - is this a class marker? Are there any Republicans who say "nuclear"?
omg. She's been getting tutorials from Kissinger.
Oh, great. Now she's selling Israel like toothpaste. "Israel. Our ally. Gets my teeth whiter than white."
Point weak. Make canned speech about "the blame game" and moving forward. Drop "g's" at ends of words.
Biden quotes Shakespeare. I love you, Joe.
Oh, come on, Sarah. Slip up - say "nuclear" just like that nice Gwen girl just did.
I think Biden is working hard not to look like a Washington Insider. But he's at his best and strongest when he shows his expertise and, dare i say it, experience.
goddamit, while he's talking we always see her looking at her notes and smirking a "Wait til you all hear what 'm going to say next!" smirk.
Yep. Biden describes actual experience, and she comes right back with "It's so obvious I'm a Washington Outsider." Can I call it? Gosh.
If I were knocking back shots on "greed & corruption on Wall Street," well, I wouldn't be typing so great now.
"No looking backwards (doggone it, Joe)" - omg. please somebody stop her. didn't we all have to memorize that Ortega y Gasset quote in highschool?
"Shining city on a hill" was Kennedy, not Reagan!! He was quoting John Winthrop - I told the story in my Sound & Spirit show on CITIES - it was a swell segment. (From the script:
In 1630, the English Puritan leader John Winthrop was on his way across the Atlantic with the first batch of people who would settle in what became the city of Boston. As the ships pitched and leaked, Winthrop reminded the anxious colonists of their true purpose: “…we must delight in each other, make others' conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community …” Their plan was not only to make a new life for themselves, but to show the corrupt ancient world they came from that people could live together in peace and common affection – to become, as it says in the Book of Matthew (5:14) , “the light of the world. A city on a hill [that] cannot be hidden.” And if can we do this Winthrop went on, “The God of Israel . . . shall make us a praise and glory, that men shall say of succeeding plantations, the Lord make it like that of NEW ENGLAND. For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us.”
330 years later, President-Elect John F. Kennedy recollected Winthrop’s words when he addressed his colleagues in the Massachusetts state house in his native city of Boston. Describing his efforts to construct his own new administration, Kennedy said: ‘I have been guided by the standard John Winthrop set before his shipmates… as they, too, faced the task of building a new government on a perilous frontier.... Today, the eyes of all people are truly upon us--and our governments, in every branch…must be as a city upon a hill . . . For of those to whom much is given, much is required.’ [complete text & recording of KENNEDY SPEAKING is here]
omg - her closing statement included a science fiction scenario trope. What were they thiiinking?
