Greetings and love…… to one and all! Jamie Beth will be joining me for this live blog tonight, should be a lot of fun with Ms. Palin in the house. Let’s do this!
tom – 9:03 – What do we need economists for when we have soccer moms? I thought she was a hockey mom anyway. Which is it?
tom – 9:08 – so far Palin’s comments sound memorized to me, either that or this is a robot imposter. “Maverick” count already 2 or 3, she’s dropping them too fast to tell.
jamie beth – 9:10 – joe is going to say “john mccain voted with bush 99% of the time”
tom – 9:10 – fuck joe six pack, i want barack 40 oz up in this motherfucker
jamie beth – 9:11 – “never again” — does she know that’s a holocaust reference. i wonder if she believes there was a holocaust.
jamie beth – 9:13 – you are going to get blasted for the 40 oz comment…but it is funny!
jamie beth – 9:15 – “i’m not going to answer the questions” can we just call the debate now?
tom – 9:15 – if this is class war, what was the Bolshevik revolution?
tom – 9:17 – i’ll take more taxes if i can get a small business that generates $250k+ for me
tom – 9:18 – “ah, the private sector”
jamie beth – 9:19 – why are uncommitted ohio voters falling for this?
tom – 9:19 – you’ve obviously not been to ohio before. there’s a church every 1/3 of a block. theyre not the brightest bulbs on the christmastree festooned with ornaments.
jamie beth – 9:20 – $5000 income tax credit is just for people who make enough to pay taxes, right?
tom – 9:20 – biden is taking the “making sense” route and dropping funny lines about bridges to nowhere. win.
jamie beth – 9:21 – bridge to nowhere ref — LOVE IT!
jamie beth – 9:22 – matt — he can’t air her out or they will call him ‘mean.’ damn bitches.
tom – 9:22 – if he airs her out, her head will deflate on national teevee. we can’t have that can we?
tom – 9:24 – collecting $200 for passing Go doesn’t have shit to do with breaking up monopolies
tom – 9:26 – $600B, hey you could bail out an economy with that much money!
jamie beth – 9:27 – i have only been at this for 5 weeks and they haven’t prepped me on anything before that time and frankly, i wasn’t paying attention because, hell, even i don’t think i’m qualified for this and didn’t see it coming. oops!
tom – 9:29 – my man doug says: “i wish justin timberlake was the moderater and he caused another wardrobe malfunction.” hear, hear.
jamie beth – 9:32 – it’s like i predicted, all offense, no defense. she’s just reading off her talking points. the sad thing is, i don’t think people realize that the ability to debate, really debate, is actually a sign of smarts. right now people are thinking, hey, she doesn’t look so bad, but she’s not playing by the rules because she’s not up to playing by the rules and that’s a problem.
tom – 9:32 – it’s a long night for me already, trying to tell what she is saying hurts my head.
jamie beth – 9:33 – my friend carmen (female, cuban, democrat) says: Carmen wonders if Palin knows she will NOT be getting a Tiara at the end of this debate…
tom – 9:34 – i think it might have been harder if obama picked joe budden for VP
jamie beth – 9:35 – you can’t be proud of drill baby drill, can you? can you?!
jamie beth – 9:36 – ifil looks pissed.
tom – 9:37 – black people love sarah palin
jamie beth – 9:38 – “some of my best friends are….different…..” WHATEVER!
tom – 9:39 – indeed they can, matt. what is so great about the word “marriage” anyway? WTF. they probably give each other handjobs on the campaign plane anyway, theyre self loathing.
tom – 9:42 – not being a fan of abortion, you’d think Palin and McCain would be all about pulling out. wow, what a rehearsed answer she just gave.
tom – 9:43 – nullus on “pegging the ticker”
tom – 9:46 – “Joker, I’ve told you, we run two basic stories here. Grunts who give half their pay to buy gooks toothbrushes and deodorants–Winning of Hearts and Minds–okay? And combat action that results in a kill–Winning the War. Now you must have seen blood trails… drag marks?”
jamie beth – 9:48 – so interesting that the ohio uncommitteds don’t give a crap about israel. love it!
tom – 9:50 – i wonder if anyone was thinking biden was a bad choice right now? he is dropping more substance than obama was.
jamie beth – 9:52 – i don’t think she’s even listening to what he’s saying, i think she is zoned out studying her talking points.
tom – 9:53 – as opposed to her typically zoned out state
tom – 9:54 – she thinks the Bush administration did something right? i didn’t think they had crack in alaska
jamie beth – 9:56 – OHIO really doen’t give a shit about israel, do they? i’m starting to worry that the jews are going to be the swing vote here and i know far too many jews who think obama is a muslim and therefore anti-israel.
tom – 9:58 – i think guys on the ticker are mistaking “approval” for “getting a semi”
tom – 10:02 – do you think Palin knows where Bosnia is? i don’t!
tom – 10:03 – Palin is gonna say “nullus on ‘in Chad’”
tom – 10:06 – is Palin gonna get back to us on that? i can wait till late november, she should have more time on her hands around then….
jamie beth – 10:07 – does she know we lost in vietnam? what war does mccain know how to win?!
tom – 10:08 – did they coach her on what “Bush Doctrine” means?
tom – 10:10 – the winking thing is kinda giving me a semi.
tom – 10:11 – joe budden don’t be hanging out in Home Depot
tom – 10:12 – the new tactic for McCain: Palin is part black, too. didn’t you see her giving shoutouts on national teevee the other night?
tom – 10:14 – McCain already tapped that? now we know why he chose her.
jamie beth – 10:16 – bravo Tom, bravo
tom – 10:16 – thanks ;)
tom – 10:19 – her world view? you mean the Palin Doctrine?
jamie beth – 10:20 – democracy, freedom, tolerance, equal rights….are those all the buzz words i was supposed to say?!
tom – 10:21 – Biden almost cried, pegged the ticker, and i think that seals this deal. “Maverick” count is off the chart.
jamie beth – 10:23 – biden almost cried, right? he also managed to mention that he only owns one house, right?
tom – 10:24 – against a weaker foe, i think Palin might have done alright. biden is absolutely killing it.
jamie beth – 10:24 – is this almost over? i’m hungry….
jamie beth – 10:28 – it appears she may have lost ohio for mccain. that would make me soooooo happy.
jamie beth – 10:29 – who is this “diverse” family she keeps referring to? are there more kids out there we don’t know about?!
tom – 10:30 – she keeps smiling. it is really weird, even when she is talking about things that are quite grim.
jamie beth – 10:31 – ohio is really not interested in her, but i have to say, biden looks a little smitten.
tom – 10:31 – he said “in the hole” and “abroad”, i think he too is trying to tap that
tom – 10:32 – the Katie Couric filter is a little known filter that makes everything you say near her come out like you’re retarded.
tom – 10:33 – well that was much more entertaining than the pres debate. i think this was clearly a win for Biden, though Palin wasn’t quite as embarassing as she could have been. i wanna thank Jamie Beth for doing this with me this time, hopefully she will be up for it again for the next Presidential debate!
