10:55- Tombstone is on the history channel, so that means Chris Mathews has goes off.
Doc Holiday>Cable news.
10:41- Chris Mathews just called Palin "reaganesque". She's hardly a racist responsible mass murder and the funding of terrorists, so I'd say that's a bit over the top, Chris.
10:36: That scene on stage looks palpably awkward. Thanks for joining us for the live blog! It's been fun, thanks for all the great comments and we'll have to do this again in the near future!
10:31- And we're done... and the lesson is, you can make up as much shit as you want, and no neutral party will correct you. Fannnnnntasitic.
10:27- The Alaskan assassin: Trajan Langdon for Secretary of nailing threes.
10:25- I think the maverick count has reached double digits.
10:21- Yeah, look at Lieberman and Giuliani, it's hard to think of two more loathsome people! And they support John McCain, what the fuck does that say?
10:15- YOU LACK DISCIPLINE!!! Gwen Ifill channeling Arnold Swarchenegger?
10:10- Dog gone it! You mentioned the Bush Administration again, god bless em', that wasn't part of the rules!
10:07- John McCain knows he to win a war, he was in Vietnam...
10:04- I WATCH ALL DEBATES. I READ ALL NEWSPAPERS. I AM PALIN.
10:00- Biden is starting to take off some of the gloves, or at least I hope he does, with Palin basically accusing Obama of murdering civilians and all.
9:56- "Surge Principles"= More troops EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME.
9:51- I MET HENRY KISSINGER! I HAS EXPERIENCE!
9:47: The Castro Brothers and Biden's friend Johnny Dank from earlier seem like they'd hang out with Andy Reid's kids.
9:44- Palin basically calls Obama a traitor, somehow Biden has to compliment McCain before he attacks him. Blood pressure rising...
9:41-Al Qaeda=Not Shia...
9:36: "Drill, baby, Drill" (Avoiding making Levi and Bristol Palin joke...)
Drilling is safe... AHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT'S NOT WHAT LEVI FOUND OUT! I'm sorry, I just couldn't take it.
@6.54: Way
9:30: Climate change, after Nick's post this schould be rich. Scratch that, she just repeated the exact same speech, almost word for word, almost as if she doesn't have a clue about what the fuck she's saying...
9:29 The same rule from the last comment applies to all comments onthe bankruptcy bill (Bangs head on table)
9:25- The less we discuss that colossal fuckup of an energy plan the better, I was attempting to forget that Obama voted for it.
9:23- SARAH PALIN'S ENERGY PLAN IS BUILT ON THE CORPSES OF SEALS AND MOOSE.
@Eliza: Maverick can't be on teams, hilarious!
9:16- I just checked what Rb was talking about, and I learned from the bottom of their screen, that women like what Joe Biden's saying... A LOT.
9:14- "I may not answer the questions that the moderator asks..."
What?!?
9:11- So I guess Palin's chosen the pretend "John McCain's record doesn't exist", and hope that no one calls her on it strategy.
9:09- 2 uses of the word maverick in one response is a very mavericky strategy.
9:07- 5 seconds in to Palin's confusing intro, I think we can up the odds on the Train wreck potential.
9:03- Can I call you Joe, my friends?
9:00- Glad to have you guys joining in the comments, alright, robocop is finally off, it's debate time.
8:55- Alright, here we go! Now must change TV from Robocop to the debate...
Palin planning to attack! This should be good.
I'll be here a little before the debate starts at 9 Pm.

in case anyone might be interested: A Palin drinking/fun social gathering game for tonight. http://www.palinbingo.com/
ReplyDeleteThere are 4 set types of cards or make your own. i myself will be going for media blackout so i may not be alive tomorrow.
YES! Awesome. I am excited.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be there with you, too! Don, Helen and Eliza...
ReplyDeletewhoeeah!! LETS DO THIS
ReplyDeleteCNN just said it's nice to actually see bloggers roll their eyes, cause you can't get that sense of them from what they write.
ReplyDeleteAnnnd, Atrios rides in with the counterexample:
As far as I know, Palin has yet to issue a definitive position on whether she's for or against shooting gays from airplanes. She'll get back to us.
real quick: what's the over/under on number of times Palin fails to fill up her allotted 90 seconds?
ReplyDeleteJESUS CHRIST CNN, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOUR GRAPHICS TAKINGUP HALF MY SCREEN????
ReplyDeleteits too bad the word 'fear' isn't on the Palin bingo cards
ReplyDeleteCan be a maverick and be on a team...
ReplyDeleteAhhh, shit, she's stringing two words together!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, the $42,000 thing is a lie.
Lying about your lying is a great trick, Sarah
ReplyDeleteRedistribution of wealth, huh? That sounds suspiciously like socialism to me!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Joe orange?
ReplyDeletefor some reason, i thought the point of a debate was to answer the questions asked of you... hmm i guess i was wrong
ReplyDeleteBiden likes engines; hates bridges.
ReplyDeleteaccording to Palin, Main Street has a REALLY bad sanitation problem. and it caused the sub prime mortgage crisis
ReplyDeleteGod, will she shut up about the energy producing state of Alaska?
ReplyDeleteI've said it before, and I'll say it again: fuck Sarah Palin for pretending to know about climate change.
ReplyDeleteCauses=THE ENTIRE POINT
Toxic mess on Main Street... exactly.
ReplyDeleteWhy does anyone in their right mind think that drilling even matters a little bit, in the bit scheme?
ReplyDeleteClean coal is an oxymoron.
ReplyDeletesenator obiden...
ReplyDeleteAnd we know from our nation's history, that we must NEVER surrender.
ReplyDeleteboring... can we turn Robocop back on?
ReplyDeletePalin probably couldn't tell the Castro brothers from the Isley Brothers
ReplyDeleteNuclear weapons! They're safe! Who knew?!
ReplyDeleteits nuc-u-lar, 6.54. nuc-u-lar
ReplyDeleteDid you know that John McCain was a POW? He's been there and he knows how to WIN. Even though the Navy never gave him a significant command. Even though he followed in the footsteps of admirals.
ReplyDeleteRight.
YOU'RE a lame attempt at a joke.
ReplyDeleteshe said the "i don't know what a vice president does" was a lame attempt at a joke. kind of like... her whole vice presidential run.
ReplyDeleteHooray for vice presidential fascism!
ReplyDelete@ 6.54 haha exactly
ReplyDeleteexceptionalism?
ReplyDeleteHow's she going to put her kids through college? I dunno, how about by actually selling her plane?
ReplyDeleteOh, fucking wow. Biden...
ReplyDelete(and, of course, Palin retreats to her mavericky talking points)
Palin has a politically diverse family. You mean... secessionists?
ReplyDeleteAgain: what the hell do conservatives mean when they talk about freedom one second, and book banning the next?
ReplyDeletePalin's suit was shinier than P Diddy's in the "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems" video
ReplyDeleteanyone else watching fox news for the post debate analysis??
ReplyDeletere: the awkwardness.
ReplyDeleteYes. That was actually palpable. It made me forget that Biden had remarried, and wonder whether it was Palin up there with her ridiculous brood and Biden all alone because his family was all either dead or at war.
Cause that would've been really sad.
glad that's over. i knew i should've put barometer on that bingo card.
ReplyDeletethis was fun. making sarcastic comments throughout this debate wouldn't have been as fulfilling without getting to share them all with you in real time & have them chronicled on the internet forever. how very special
ReplyDeleteNimsofa's alive! And typing coherently! He must not have had the "Maverick" bingo card
ReplyDeleteIndeed! This was fun.
ReplyDeleteLast post:
CNN: Biden 51 / Palin 36
CBS: Biden 46 / McCain 21
And, so it goes.
(that was supposed to say "CBS: Biden 46 / Palin 21.")
ReplyDelete(that was supposed to say "CBS: Biden 46 / Palin 21.")
ReplyDeleteLoved being in on this with you guys, but I couldn't figure out how to log on from Eliza's. Lots of bits along the way, but the overarching one for me was Biden's very human and authentic grief, which Palin was incapable of responding to.
ReplyDeleteWe get to do this again., right?
ah fuck i missed the party
ReplyDelete@ helen: thats a good point. i got so caught up in being an ass that when Biden's stirring emotional moment took place, i couldn't think of anything to say. by far the most memorable moment of last night.
ReplyDelete@6.54: I really do wonder what she meant when she said political diversity 4 or 5 times... is there some distant anarchist cousin they're trying to keep under wraps till the election's over?
ReplyDelete@DC Jonesy: If she had worn one of those suits she would have definitively won the debate, and probably my vote.
@Helen: Biden's show of emotion was the defining moment of the debate, and one of those really rare, unscripted moments you almost never get in a presidential race. He was clearly furious at her assertion that he didn't understand what she was talking about, and had one of those "fuck it, I'm going to say this anyway no matter how it comes across" moments. Pretty powerful stuff.
