I am interested in how the upcoming debate between Biden and Palin will go. I understand that the format has each candidate speaking to Gwen Ifill, rather than to each other. Hopefully this will take away an opportunity for Palin to claim that Joe is being a big meanie to her.

I know which candidate is more knowledgeable on the issues, but debates can be unpredictable things. We shall see.

The McCain Palin campaign asked for less time for the candidates responses, as Palin tends to ramble.

She keeps asking “Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel!”

Vowel? Bullshit.

Somebody needs to ship that woman a truckload of “g”’s.

You know, so that she do some “shakin’ up and fixin’” of her manner of speakin’.

I’m from the south – what’s a “g”?

I’m sorry pups, but I just luv me some Sarah Palin. She’s the only thing that makes me laugh these days.

Sarah’s gonna blow. She’s done it before…

Yea, it is funny because we know there is no way the American public is stupid enough to vote for her.

Back to my garden hose and chrome bumper jokes from early this morning.

read? read? to we expect our leaders to read?

It’s certainly NOT that funny. Never misunderestimate the U.S. voters.

A *g* is a grin. It shows that something is meant as humor.

I had to ask the same question just a few months ago!

As a life-long amateur garage-band musician, I hesitate to critize folks who can play a musical instrument, but I couldn’t stop laughing on the latest MsBull…winkle YouTube of her playing the flute.

I bear no ill will against flautists (flute-players doncha know), but Jiminy Crickets, that cracks me up. *g*

OT-I just got home. How did Bernie Sanders voice vote go?

Hmmmm. I thought Twain was referring to the southern speech pattern of dropping the “gs” in “ing.”

Are people in the Obama campaign (and pundits) seriously worried that Sarah can pull this off? She hasn’t a fighting chance.

Sorry! In the context this is meant it means Sarah should finish her words. She can’t seem to pronounce “ING” Knew I should have left that one alone!

Yep. Been known to drop a few myself. Primarily when I’m there. It’s a soft sound.

Well, Obama sez “ta” instead of “to.”

uh – in this case, I meant “g”, the letter.

the one that normally follows”in…”

fixin(g)

shakin(g)

speakin(g)

*g*

Can you tell I’m a little distracted tonight? Guess what! I’m gonna get a glass of wine! *g*

It’s hard to keep up with the cleverness & snark around here. Mental gymnastics.

Hmmm. I think “caribou in the headlights” is going to stick.

Beat ya to it.

I just luv me some Sarah Palin. She’s the only thing that makes me laugh these days.

Would you, could you, settle for Tina Fey?

Well Letterman just doesn’t “rank” in McCain’s Universe. Consider that he skipped meeting with Dave not only to do an interview with Katey…but that his campaign said “he’s busy huddling with economic advisors and Congressmen about resolving the crisis”.

Well since she isn’t a Congressman…

Apparently John was cuddling huddling with his expert on the financial collapse
Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild

When it comes to trying to figuring how to work a “bail-out” you’ve gotta go with the best:

1) Lady Lynn “bails out” of the ethical and policy principles espoused by the Clinton For President campaign …deciding to “follow the money”

2) Carly “Golden Parachute” Fiorina who was thrown through the “bail out” doors of HP, after cashing out several million in stock before the firm tanked.

I come from Gary, IN; I’m way used to that!

I thought “moose in the headlights” was better, cause moose, like deer, is one syllable. Also, I once rounded a bend in the trail in Baxter State Park in Maine, to be eyeball to eyeball with a moose, so I have personally experienced the look.

Tina Fey is too professional. Palin has that (je ne sais quois) fresh faced look. Fey is a good substitute, but can’t match the real thing.

McC said that consulted Sarah often on foreign policy. Wouldn’t you just love to hear that conversation? Are they campaigning together now? Or just holed up in Sedona pouring over briefing books?

Hey, Sarah, what do you think about foreign policy?

Oh, I think it’s great. It’s all about jobs. And preserving our financial system. And, there are all those cute presidents of all those countries.

I agree on the first part, but nobody throws a zinger like Dave, so if he wants it to be caribou, I’ll take it.

As for the second part, I’m not a moose expert, but my understanding is that they don’t so much “freeze” in the headlights; they just ignore them. And the cars that are attached to them. Even in the daytime. And it usually doesn’t end well for either the car or the moose.

egads

It’s not the consequences, it’s the look. Since I was not traveling at 65mph, it was a faceoff (don’t know what happened to his blood pressure, but mine has probably never shot higher), we both retreated, him into the woods, and then I continued my hike.

and then I continued my hike.

Whoops! Didn’t read your first post closely enough–I assumed you were driving!

Wrt MsBull…winkle, I prefer “the moose is loose”.

Obama’s camp made a very diplomatic comment about Palin re: the debate, and for the life of me I can’t find it..shoot. It was in one of the many news reports today and I got distracted by all the commentary from later articles I couldn’t find it. Drat–foiled again by shiny newsworthy object!
