Comedy for DAYS

[fredericks]

Fifteen minutes in, and Sarah Palin is officially the most hilarious thing I've seen on television this Fall. Do they not have things like debates in Alaska? Methinks the concept escapes her and her handlers. Or they think she's such an empty bag that they're afraid to have her spout anything but platitudes. "Let me speak straight to the American people..."? OMG.

She's got a one-track mind, it seems. Taxes, taxes, taxes.

There's a new debate drinking game for teetotalers, I hear. You take a shot every time Palin actually answers a question.

We played talking point bingo while we watched. I had a Biden card and won with 'clean energy', 'Scranton' (free space), 'offshore drilling', and 'literally'.

I would have been happier had she brought more funny. But a) there was the teacher thing ('Your wife will get her reward in heaven'), which I think is more sad than funny, really and b) 'You keep pointing your finger at the past, Joe' while he was talking about the *current* president.

All Frank and I could stand was 15 minutes then we turned it off. By that point she had already referred to McCain as a "maverick" twice and said the word "hockey moms". We decided that if they win we're moving to Switzerland.

Yer darn tootin'!

I especially loved how she was all, "look, I'm not answering the question you ASKED, just gonna spout the stuff they prompted me on - straight at the Amurikan people."

Folksy, I've decided, is a thinly-veiled euphemism for stupid.
