Palin will sport bandage in debate

[RamboLiberal]

Source: Politico

Sen. Joe Biden will face an injured Sarah Palin in tonight’s debate after the Alaska governor took a spill jogging around running mate John McCain’s Sedona, Ariz., home.

Palin reportedly hurt her hand while taking a break from debate prep Monday.

The Alaska governor arrived in St. Louis today wearing a bandage on the injured hand and is expected to sport it during the vice presidential debate.

Palin will not be the only injured participant in tonight’s debate, as moderator Gwen Ifill broke her ankle Monday. Ifill visited Washington University, the site of tonight’s debate, in a wheelchair Wednesday.

Palin’s camp says the injury should not affect her performance.

[iamthebandfanman]

5. id imagine

i mean, she comes off dumber than bush and he needed one...


i also loved how she got outa the plane holding her baby... thats a first...

usually its her husband or one of her kids...


they are really trying to pull the sympathy card out for tonite

[Raschel]

44. I wondered if the baby picture was a new one

what a creep this woman is, using her baby for points.

[Nevernose]

6. Reuters asked about that, actually

According to some wank I heard on Faux news, Reuters asked the debate folks if they werew checking for earpieces, used it as an example of how terribly rude the media is to Palin.

[BrklynLiberal]

18. EXACTLY!!!!!

[MetaTrope]

25. Actually, she's going to use automatic writing through her new radio-controlled mechanical hand

And I wonder which BFEE hireling broke Ifill's leg as a warning?

[glinda]

28. Who picked up the papers?

I heard papers fell. I bet they greased the step and waited.

[Solly Mack]

2. She could arrive in a full body cast and I wouldn't feel sorry for her

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Maybe Gramp's was getting frisky.

Anyone inventory the Viagra supply?

[amdezurik]

23. or she is trying to appeal to

Steven Corbert's base and steal his "Wrist Strong" supporters?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. Bondage? In high heels? coool. oh, wait. Never mind.

[UpInArms]

7. "John McCain's Sedona, Ariz., home"

shouldn't that be "house"?

A "home" is where people live - or should it be called

"John McCain's Sedona, Ariz., 11th home"?

(edited because that stupid nonsensical apostrophe thing doesn't always work)

[Desertrose]

31. They call it a "ranch"

cause its in AZ.

I call it an estate ...only about 10 miles from me......

[TomInTib]

8. "should not affect her performance"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, those square BandAids are quite inhibiting.

Kinda like trying to play guitar while wearing an Ace bandage on my knee.

I don't know how she will ever be able to last 90 minutes.

[merci_me]

16. Oh but it will

Any and all flubs are subject to being excused because of the pain medication she's supposedly taking for her boo-boo.

[KathieG]

39. There goes her idea of doing a demo on how to field dress a moose

[bamacrat]

9. Coordination is key.

it may explain why pukes take a dive anytime they do something physical, they cant multitask. "Chew a pretzel" and stand, cannot be done. Jog and think, cannot be done. Debate a huge economic crisis, and campaign for the presidency, cannot be done. What is it with these one track minded people. I can text message on my phone write on DU, watch TV, download music, play chess on my computer and talk to my wife..all at the same time.

[NC_Nurse]

10. I'm surprised they aren't trying to cancel due to injury.

:eyes:

[Gore1FL]

11. She should have watched the olymbics

She could have seen people walking and running and gotten all the experince she needed not to make such a mistake.

[Bluerthanblue]

12. what's with the women around Mccain and bandaged hands?

"handless maidens?"

kind of odd-

:shrug:

[RC]

19. Maybe they need to slap McCain to keep him awake?

[amdezurik]

22. I get images from catholic school...

nuns with rulers snapping fingers and wrists. Maybe that is the kind of debate "prep" she is getting?

[glinda]

29. Pain killer symbol

[gratuitous]

13. Will it have a little purple heart drawn on it?

She's the commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard, you know, and we are at war.

At least now she'll have a built-in excuse for her sucknormous performance tonight.

[CitizenPatriot]

carried grandkid off plane

but has hand in cast?


Oh, right. injured hand=sympathy and pain killer excuse for dumbness.

R lexicon: injury=smart

[Raschel]

45. They want the injury to make her appear to have substance

She's stupid but she's active. I really believe that's it.

[Raschel]

46. Is that picture new? She doesn't have a bandage on

in the pic where she's getting off of the plane with the baby.

[WarbirdForObama]

14. Oh Geebus

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I gotz a Boo Boo Charlie....


Moose Tussle wants the sympathy.

Pardon me while I, ah, Yawn.

[godai]

15. Bad omen for her.

I think this is a pathetic rivian ploy for sympathy but, if she shows up, she's gonna a need a bandage for her pride afterwards.

[htuttle]

17. Surprised that she's not walking on with crutches and a neck brace...

...like a fraudulent personal injury plaintiff.

[kestrel91316]

20. When she screws up, they'll just blame it on the heavy duty painkillers

the poor dear had to take to enable her to function with such a horrible injury.

[lotus007vr]

21. Injuried hand bullshit

Cindy McClain used the same hand injury, now Palin. Someone find the pictures and post them.

[kikiek]

24. McCain already had the rules modified for Sarah weeks ago. And if her plan is really to

attack Biden go for it. That will not help someone who has sounded so ignorant during interviews. They will wonder who does she think she is attacking him when she can't even name a newspaper. It is a very bad strategy in my opinion.

[KewlKat]

26. Gee, she makes W seem smarter than he is

an she manages to injure herself like he does, what are some of the other similarities.........oh, SHE A FUCKING LIAR....she uses our troops at every opportunity, she never answers a questions that are posed to her, she takes offense to "gotcha journalism", she plays the media, she's kept in a bubble, she's dominated by Todd, like dick does W......

Add some of your own

[Tinksrival]

32. She really is Bush-lite!

[calico1]

27. That isn't good enough for sympathy.

She should be bandaged head to toe like a mummy and using crutches.

[underpants]

30. Fell while running. The Doublemint was too confusing for her

[City Lights]

33. How long before she chokes on a pretzel?

She's Dubya in heels and a skirt.

[Berry Cool]

34. This happened for one reason and one only: It's easier to read crib notes written on a bandage.

[onecent]

35. When she got off the plane today carrying her baby she did not wear a

bandage on her hand.


HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[KewlKat]

40. Well she had one on when she boarded to fly

[Erin Elizabeth]

36. What the hell is it with stupid Republicans and their falling down

injuries?

They hurt themselves more than anyone I know.

[Z_I_Peevey]

43. The earpieces throw off the middle-ear balance thing.

They fall on their asses a lot.

Either that or Sarah got into Cindy's meds.

[TeeYiYi]

48. Republicans are really a gang . . .

. . . and they have to be 'jumped in' to belong.

TYY :shrug:

[Onlooker]

37. Her transmitter to her invisible earphone will kept under the bandage n/t

[symbolman]

38. If her campaign people were Smart

they would put the bandage on her MOUTH :)

She's appearing "weak" - right wingers hate that.. Unless I guess it's a cutsey pie female "vessel" they can park in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant..

[volstork]

41. Maybe it will be over her mouth! n/t

[my2sense]

42. Poor dear - why do I feel this is simply

a ploy for sympathy and or an excuse for the piss poor performance she's going to give tonight.

[Raschel]

47. Wait a minute....

that's where they had the chip implanted for the debate tonite.

[uppityperson]

49. Come on now, a scraped hand can definitely affect her performance tonight...

after the debate when she and Studd go work it off.
