my fav thing about the debate was when Joe Biden said "Bush"

You mean the repetition of "the same as Bush's"? It had a nice cadence.

ONE PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST SAYSI’m back where I was a month ago. I wasn’t where Kathleen parker was but I was starting to waiver. My daughter made a “Sarah Rocks” sign that we have on the back of our minivan. I was starting to not feel so good about it. I’m back where I was a month ago. Sarah does, in fact, rocks.
rocks

your official media reaction: "Gov. Sarah Palin made it through the vice-presidential debate on Thursday without doing any obvious damage to the Republican presidential ticket. "

this debate turned into a non-event thanks in great part to ifill, who let the participants (and particularly palin) get away with basically whatever they felt like getting away with. palin announced at the outset that she wasn't going to answer the questions, and ifill utterly capitulated. i'm just fucking aghast at the fact that this is possible. i know politicians will seek to avoid answering questions if it suits them, but for fuck's sake, i thought one of the minimal duties of a moderator is to at least put up some challenge, on behalf of the electorate, who after all, is supposed to become more informed via these debates. FFS at least have the decency to pretend like you will try to enforce the basic rules of the contest.
i'm sure it'll be mentioned that ifill was overcompensating for the "Age of Obama"-related conflict of interest charge, but sorry, that's not enough for me.
Biden was great tonight, btw.

wow, when it became clear that my drinking game rules weren't gonna fuck me up fast enough me and my buddy added "deregulation" "nukular" and "maverick" to the list of drink words. at the end there when palin and biden were both spouting off "maverick" every other sentence i was pounding away my beer so fast that i was just chugging straight foam, which of course resulted in the projectile vomiting of said foam (luckily i was quick enough to make it to the toilet).

one of the strongest of Biden's lines which he treated like a throwaway is that mccain's position is behind the curve given recent bush-maliki talks (whether that's true or not it would stick if they say it, like, again.)MCCAIN WANTS EVEN MORE WAR THAN BUSH hello
― hoops (tremendoid), Friday, 3 October 2008 06:13 (fifteen years ago) link
btw aol polls being that close just go to show that obama is gonna win big imo. this was probably mentioned upthread but cnn: 51% biden, 36% palin, the rest called it a draw. cbs: 46% biden, 21% palin, the rest called it a draw.

i haven't read this thread, i just saw sigur ros and came back to find out the cubs suck more than i thought so i'm gonna play catch up on the drinking game now.

Why are the CNN clips out of order? Makes it looks like Palin got a nifty zing in, when actually Biden had disproved her statement twice, once forcefully, but she kept hammering at the point like... a hammer. A bag of hammers, I guess.
Not me, but there was a good bit of foaming.
― Herb Hitts, Bad Vibe magazine (kenan), Friday, 3 October 2008 06:25 (fifteen years ago) link
also, never add "bipartisan" to a political debate drinking game.

love when she just copies biden's darfur 'no fly zone' proposal. she's a scrapper i'll give her that.

Seems like Biden joined in the off-topic party when realized that was apparently what the rules were going to be. I don't blame him at all. When in Bizarro World...

Doesn't arbitrarily picking out Cuba to play pinch hitter in a manufactured axis of evil smack of Bush-style desperation and ill-considered inflammatory?

every time palin has opened her mouth shes told a really obvious lie and/or said something undeniably retarded
I'm pretty confident the Dems have this election, so I'm not all Scanners about this
from the outside, this is pretty much kerry/bush all over again.
― darraghmac, Friday, 3 October 2008 11:04 (fifteen years ago) link
IFILL: Would you like to have an opportunity to answer that before we move on?
PALIN: I’m still on the tax thing because I want to correct you on that again. And I want to let you know what I did as a mayor and as a governor. And I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I’m going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also.
gnnnnghhh
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 October 2008 11:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I haven't read any of the commentary yet, but it strikes me now that her "I don't have to answer questions from the moderator, or answer questions from you [Biden], I only have a responsibility to talk to the American people [*wink*]" thing was her (pre-scripted) attempt at Ferraro's "don't condescend to me, Bush" moment.
― Doghouse O RLY (G00blar), Friday, 3 October 2008 11:29 (fifteen years ago) link
Palin did herself some good, Biden did himself some good, nothing changes therefore a win for Obama/Biden.
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 3 October 2008 11:42 (fifteen years ago) link
Looooooooooooooooool at TV commentators falling all over themselves to congratulate Palin for holding her own last night. Bullshit - these sissies just don't wanna be accused of sexism ala Hillary.
Biden was ON-POINT. His closing statement bodyslammed Palin's by laying things out clear and being non-partisan. I need a transcript of that.
― Beatrix Kiddo, Friday, 3 October 2008 12:13 (fifteen years ago) link
I've never seen any of these two talk before. Biden really impressed me. Palin also made a big impression, nails-on-chalkboard style.
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 3 October 2008 12:32 (fifteen years ago) link
I haven't seen anybody else comment on Palin accidentally giving her closing statement in answer to the last question, and then when actual closing statement time came going uhhhhhh and thx again joe & gwen & i <3 u scott & big up wasilla crew

Reading the transcript this morning, I tried to figure out what provoked Biden's Cry Moment. Palin didn't attack him or imply that he was less of a parent for being a single dad.
