Live blooging VP debate

8:56 - Tardy to the party...

All that Palin has so far is talking points. That's it. Nothing coherent, or even beginning to sound like an actual argument.

Biden was doing his best to lose this debate with his style-less and authority-less answers, but seems to be warming up finally...

9:01 - Ifill is out of her league. She's is ineffectual and definitely doing NOTHING to make this a debate

And "Oh your God," Palin says NOOKULAR! Science damnit!

9:06 - Christ, Biden is a douchnozzle.

Palin: John McCain was a POW. He was a soldier. He takes politics out of war issues...Holy crap, his positions have been nothing but politics! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

9:07 - Regarding the question: "What would you do if the president dies and your president?" WTF? What kind of question is that? A terrible one that isn't going to produce anything of substance. What a waste of time.

Don't buy Ifill's book. What a useless moderator...

9:09 - "A team of Maverick's" GROOAAANNNN. If there is a God, and McCain wins, McCain should have a perfect bill of health.

Average working class family? Palin's family owns a boat, a plane, a half million dollar house on a lake, and makes more money than anyone else from her town. What a joke.

9:10 - Science damnit, I hate populist pandering. "Walk into Home Depot with me.." STFU. Period.

9:12 - Cesca nails it:

10:05PM
Is anyone with a brain in their head taking her seriously?


And Sullivan too:
The debate feels like a replay of the last five weeks. You begin by being dazzled by the style of this chipper little cheer-leader. But as time goes by, you wonder if there's any wisdom behind the blather.


9:13 - MORE AUTHORITY TO THE VP?!?!?! FUCK THAT NOISE! The executive has WAAAAYYY too much power right now as it is. Get the fuck out.

9:14 - A lot of left behinds there, Joe...

Every civics teacher in this country should have been shaking their heads at the answer that Palin gave about the role of the VP

9:16 - Palin just categorically agreed with Cheney. "I agree with him."

That should be game, set, match.

Way to go, Joe! About fucking time. VP == Executive branch. Finally, Biden is hitting his straps and getting past Palin's rapid fire sound-byte friendly talking points rhetoric. More of this!

9:18 - "How are they going to pay out of pocket for health care?" *cough*Universal health care*cough*

And she completely avoids the question. The question was, "What is your weakest trait?" She's just rambling. That's all she is: a rambler.

9:21 - McCain is only a maverick because his attitude is: fuck everyone who doesn't agree with me. Nothing in his campaign has changed that attitude.

IF EVERYONE SUPPORTS HIM, HE'S NOT A MAVERICK! JEEZUS H CHRIST!

9:24 - Biden has really rallied in the latter parts of this debate. Palin has just rambled

9:26 - Passing a budget is not changing an opinion, Sarah. She's been completely static in her positions? *cough*Bridge to Nowhere...

9:29 - So you like answering tough questions? HOLD A FUCKING PRESS CONFERENCE LIKE EVERY OTHER VP PICK HAS DONE BEFORE YOU (AND USUALLY THE NEXT DAY AFTER BEING NOMINATED)!!!!

I just want to rip my eyes out

9:32 - Wrap it up Joe...

Stop parading your families around like trophies. It makes me sick.
