A Change Is Coming?

[mandysee_mandydo]

Let us count the ways in which McCain-Palin will bring us change according to her performance in the debate tonight:

• Nuclear! Oh... wait... nope. She still pronounces it "new-cue-ler" just like Bush.
• Diplomacy! Ummm... well, she did say she would keep all options on the table, just like Bush.
• Vice President is Executive Branch! Well, and also the legislature, just like Cheney claims.
• So decisive! She sets her mind to dodge a question and she follows through, dontchaknow. Hmmm... that reminds me of... oh yeah! Bush!
• But hey, she seems real swell and down to earth, kinda like the kinda person you might want to have a chat with in the bleachers of a hockey game... kinda like Bush!

Okay, okay. I admit. This is all superficial. But Palin didn't really give much in the way of substantive answers. It was all talking points and flat out denials without expounding on them.

Let's not forget her amazing ability to ignore the important questions and turn it right back around to her Super Amazing Alaskan Small Town Energy Power!

I lost count of the amount of times I said "Seriously, ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION". I tried to be fair and listen to her, but honestly? I couldn't even follow what she was saying, most of the time. It wasn't even talking in circles. It was just babbling.

And Biden, thank goodness, called her on it, several times, instead of just letting it stand as I was afraid he would, so he wouldn't come off "too harshly".

Yes!!! I found myself regularly either frustrated that she was dodging the questions or cringing every time she said "new-cue-ler."

Did you catch when she called him "O'Biden?"

I like-ta-died.



Oh, also: MAVERICK HAWKEY MAWM MAVERICK HAWKEY MAVERICK MAWM!!! HAWKEY! MAWM!

Yes!!! Kathy and I both thought "O'Biden" and John McCain being the "candidate to leave... um lead" were her best gaffes of the evening! :D

That should be his new slogan. Best Candidate To Leave. <3

Oh yeah, I heard that one too. I'd forgotten it while trying to keep count of all the MAVERICKs and HAWKEY MAWMs (the latter of which, she only said once, surprisingly...)

Yeah, that was non-logged-in me, up there. I'm such a MAVERICK!
