ZOMG, Sarah winked just at me!

I got stuck in an infinite loop at "Oh Shit! Oh Shit!". I imagine the flowchart could stop there as well ;-D

Flow chart to nowhere.

beeps one of my facebook contacts linked this, then I linked it, then I posted it in LT's "talk me off this ledge" thread but I dunno if it worked or not. Either way it's funny as all hell.

I just realized that she probably asked him if she could call him Joe so the "Say it ain't so, Joe" comment wouldn't be seen as brash and from out of nowhere.

I thought that today, too, Hellbient. Not that he could have said "No" in any case, but in all of the parts of the debate I saw, he called her "Governor" while she called him "Joe." Classy.

Sarah Palin makes both my bowels and my head explode in equal measure.

Well, the press around here seems to think that even though she lost the debate, she and Biden "debated as equals". But they've also taken the position, along with most "experts", that it would be "better for us" if McCain wins (did you hear that, McCain? You have supporters in Estonia!), so it might be simply wishful thinking on their part.

As it turns out, you don't really need any debating skills or be able to form coherent sentences to win Eastern European hearts. They can't tell the difference between good and bad sentence structure anyway. Just keep smiling and winking a lot and you'll come out as a winner.

I thought it was telling that she ran "Say it ain't so, Joe" together with "There you go again" (one of several references to Reagan deliberately woven in). She probably had rehearsed both ripostes but somehow used them together, maybe because of the debate running out of time, which muted the delivery of both.

Ah, anyway, the Veepstakes hardly ever matter on Election Day. She needed more than this to give McCain a boost.

I was always in the "Obama wins by a hair" line, but now I'm starting to suspect a rout is possible. This has been the most inept Republican campaign in my memory (and I include Bob Dole's).
