She DIDN'T ANSWER ONE FUCKING QUESTION!

[goodboy]

She was a parrot, a puppet, a pontificating talking point regurgitating FOOL!

[goodboy]

1. The only benefit they have is that we only get to dissect her LIES for 2 days. (nt)

[goodboy]

2. Biden stuck to the ISSUES, she spouted BULLSHIT. (nt)

[Ilsa]

3. And she even declared her intent to ignore the moderator and

she went off backtracking on closed subjects. I think her ratings went down when she tried that.

[goodboy]

4. The media will take care of this, just as they did with the first

debate.

This is what happens when expectations are set so low, but just because she didn't shit herself on stage doesn't make her ready to be President.

[stuntcat]

10. yep

You don't just get to change the rules of a debate you're in.

[redwitch]

5. That's really, really mean!

She was really nice and friendly and she winked at me!


:P

[goodboy]

12. HA! I think she was winkin' at the "first dude" what's his name, Rifle?

Winchester? Carbine? Rocket? Tire? Torque?

[redwitch]

16. Tool belt

Tool for short.

[goodboy]

6. Scary Thought: She could be President in January...if McBush wins (nt)

[crunchgarcia]

7. She's a puppet...

Puppet.

[NightWatcher]

8. you betcha, ya, dontcha know

[goodboy]

9. Here's her Base>>>> (PHOTO)

[stuntcat]

11. but not the doggie!

The doggie would want Obama hehe!

[goodboy]

13. The dog has more brains (nt)

[1corona4u]

18. EXACTLY!!!!!

[KathieG]

14. When asked a question, she simply read the next paragraph in her notes

[goodboy]

15. She can memorize, but she had no understanding of what she actually said (nt)

[1corona4u]

17. I know....she wasn't programmed for specifics!!

I still can't get over that she had NO CLUE of what an Achilles heel was!!!

[goodboy]

22. Her ignorance staggers me. I shudder to think that on Jan 21st she

could be president.

[angee_is_mad]

19. Yes she did!

She answered the questions she asked herself:banghead:

[goodboy]

23. Did she really though? Did she specifically address the issues SHE raised?

No.

[Meshuga]

20. It was scripted

And she delivered in a terrible way that was condescending and disrespectful to Biden. Biden was very classy and showed his knowledge without having to get down to her level. He won this because she didn't seem to take this seriously.

[goodboy]

21. All she had to do was not shit herself on stage. That's how

low the bar was set.

When all the dust settles, we'll see that one candidate on that stage could be president Jan 21st.

And one shouldn't.

[krkaufman]

24. I was amazed. Andrea Mitchell, on MSNBC, was praising Palin's performance ...

... and contrasted it with her inability to answer questions in recent days, in the Couric interviews. And then Mitchell confesses that Palin had answers tonight, they didn't address the moderator's questions, but Palin had answers.

The media is totally giving Palin a pass.

[goodboy]

25. Isn't it stunning how an embarassing performance such as that

is actually considered "good"

I pity their desperation.


They're still fucked though.

When the dust settles, the lies will remain.

And all the winks in the world won't erase them.

[krkaufman]

35. Palin was definitely graded on a curve by the pundits.

But, agreed, their problem remains... Palin knows nothing, and she didn't demonstrate an ability to think critically tonight.

All that remains is to see whether the media continues to give her a pass. The existing video clips may be enough to finish her off, coupled with the lack of substance tonight.

(Gotta say that Howard Fineman did a great job on post-debate MSNBC coverage, highlighting her lack of substance while crediting her presentation.)

[Abugface]

26. That was the plan, to not ...

embarrass herself by answering questions. Better to spend the time throwing our talking points and being folksy.

[goodboy]

27. I think it's insulting to the American people...I think even joe six pack

wants someone with a command of the issues.

[K8-EEE]

28. That's OK she winked real sexy-like!

All the Freepers want to have a beer with her. What, it was supposed to be about answering questions?

[stillcool]

29. Drill baby Drill!!

Maverick, Maverick, Maverick! wink, wink..Oh yeah, the East Coast sucks!

[knixphan]

30. mais oui!

[crankychatter]

31. was unable to watch, was looking for an accurate and succinct summary, tyvm NT

[Morning Dew]

36. it's in the CSPAN video library - enjoy !

http://www.c-spanvideo.org/

I listened on the radio and watched it when I got home.

Whereas McCain came off kinda ok on the radio last week, Palin came off as sarcastic and condescending... and much worse on video... if that's possible.

[smb]

32. Yep

She was just shuffling her deck of talking point flash cards, dealing them out, and reading them like a Tarot spread. Never mind whether any of them had jack all to do with the question.

[farmboxer]

33. That 's Why McCain Campaign want that type of forum

She is a liar, just like McCain.

[SwampG8r]

34. there were fucking questions?

i missed that part
and you would think she would get those right
kinda strange dontcha know?
