Thanks.
Anyone else spend the first few seconds figuring out who has the best picture and the shortest delay?
The delay? Picture yes, but I think I can wait 1500 milliseconds for Palin to do a mannered face smooch to the camera. And there is a rumor her Fargo accent is fake-o. She picked it up somewhere in pageant or TV school.
Are there any C-ville bars showing the debate tonight? I wouldn’t mind a tasty beverage while watching the antics of Caribou Barbie.
Caribou Barbie??? LMAO

jeez imagine how much fun tonight will be with beer in hand. i am sure a sports bar will cover tonight’s massacre.
These are also very important resources for watching tonight’s debate:

Biden’s advisors/strategists are calling Palin a “Leviathan of forensics.”
hey pink, wanna drive down to the white pig tonite and watch them there, over samosas and chardonnay?
@6: Preferable to what a Rolling Stone writer recently called her: “a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne”.
@7: Sorry, otterdung is my boy and that would make him jealous.
#8
I thought Otterdung was Shenanigan’s Boy.
Could Spicy Bear sponsor an internet-simulcast CAT-FIGHT between Pink Panther and Shenanigans over Otterdung (sitting on a gilt Throne decorated in faux-rodent-fur perched atop the Bar at X-Loungue or South Street).
WAS. Past tense.
A fight between Pink Panther and Shenanigans would be just like Fight Club. Jack vs. Tyler and all.
Why… you sly minx, you.
Good work: he’s a catch if you can catch him.
(otters are slippery-when-wet, so I bet their dung is even more so.)
#13
i think i better not think too hard about that one, just in case.
this debate is going to be comedic gold. GOLD. do you guys want me to liveblog it? you do? i’ll start with this: the line on minutes before ms. palin serves up a big, fat TWSS… is 7.
7 minutes. the over/under is 3.
for example, “sometimes it’s easy to get in your mouth and and see what it tastes like, but it takes a little bit of work to swallow.”
yeah, that would do nicely.
we could do a drinking game – take a shot every time something batshiat stupid is said.
We’ll all be dead of alcohol poisoning by 9:03…
or we could play “strip talking points bingo”
and when palin runs out of one-liners and strings them all together, towing the company line back and forth across the stage, everybody has to stand up and do the hot dog dance!
what?
YEAH!
@18 hotdog? perhaps a Vienna sausage dance
“can I call you joe”
adorable!
/ain’t gonna vote for adorable. Probably
all I’m hearing so far might as well be Charlie Brown’s mom.
“wah wah, wah waah wah wah….”
“i may not answer the questions in the way you want, i may not even answer the question at all…”
/WTF?
joe sixpack probably sees that answer as an “eff you” to the liberal media and intellectual elite.
not a stupid response
/btw, these comments are coming from someone who thinks both parties are full of shit….
lol – “bless their hearts!”
she just won a chunk of the southern vote
I’m eagerly awaiting an “I personally believe that U.S. Americans…”
please please please please
oooh, joe joe joe – Barack and I want to do what Sarah has already done?
ummmday response.
Dayum, I thought Biden was gonna toss her around like a pit bull with a toy poodle; so far, not so much…
He’s mesmerized by her adorableness.
she’s got nice gams, mos def.
Joe’s coming across as a smart guy who can’t talk to “us”, and she’s coming across as someone who has some kick-ass debate trainers…
oh gawd, she said “nucular”
“raping the outer continental shelf”
is not acceptable.
@24: even though the “their” whose hearts she was blessing were exxon…
wait, hack_the_debate feed stopped. crap.
echo, i hope i get back in time for the
“US Americans”
gay marriage = draw
parlie – the continental shelf is just asking for it – with all those sluttly clothes and come-hither winks…
Biden just said he loves John McCain. I don’t want a gay Vice President.
60/40 win to Biden on Iraq – but an arbitrary deadline is moronic
echo – it’s ok – they can’t get married…
@34:
but they can’t get married so it’s okay.
ooooh, she said “nucular” again. 2 shots for all villains!
@37
(left this off)
/someone has committment issues
nucular again! 2 more shots!
shocked – think palin’s winning
OH MY GOD The word is pronounced “noo-clee-ar” what the fuck is so difficult about it
she’s so “down home, there…”
is she wearing fake eyelashes?
Hmmm…I seem like I remember Obama saying he would sit down with Akmidinnajiadijaij (sp?).
I’m with firefly – I think, based on this, that Tina Fey is gonna be busy as shit for the next 4 years…
this has got to be one of the top 5 liveblogs around. on the continent, at least.
the… conternet.
when the internet goes to war with itself, it will segment into: “conternets.”
wager: “conternets” has a wikipedia entry by monday 4am. over/under: 12 hours.
If McCain-Palin win, I want a weekly sitcom with Tina Fey being Sarah Palin.
Joe dominates on Israel…
Uh oh…he just brought up W.
4 more shots!
/2 ‘nucular’, 3 ‘nuclear – make up your mind, honey
but she had really good debate trainers.
(all that finger pointing backward (at McCain’s history) doesn’t sound like moving forward…)
@51: She just remembered her trainers spending eleventy hours telling her it is nuclear not nucular.
OMG – she said “nucyalar”!!! and said it several times!!!
3 weeks in Iraq, 6.5 years in Afghanistan and tomorrow on Wall Street.
Tina Fey for VP!
@51 rofl!!! i’m getting drunk!
/joe needs fake eyelashes
Joe wins on Afghanistan…
/but quit telling us your time is almost up…
(and it’s 7 years in Afghanistan – we were there this time 2001)
bozniacs?
“american public has a stomach for success”
no, joe, the american public has a stomach for what’s right.
i’m a wash outsider and, gee, aren’t i just adorable????
“pretty adamantly”?
I know a few folks who are pretty, adamantly.
oh fuckin’ jeebus – a no-fly zone in Darfur? How about a no-camel zone in Darfur – that’s what the assholes are murdering people on.
/wonders if Joe or Sarah can find Darfur on a map…
I didn’t get home until 9 tonight. I swore I would only watch untiil I started throwing things at the tv. I think I’m there
/throws martini glass
I personally believe that most Sudanese Darfurians can’t find Darfur on a map because they don’t have maps.
@65 – joe can, sarah can only find it if she can see it from her kitchen window
please tell me it’s an empty martini glass – I’m just about out of booze…
“John McCain, who knows how to win a war…”
Did we win Vietnam?
[too soon?]
“Mcain knows how to win a war”
VIETNAM?!?!?
I am NEVER out of booze
/so survivalist in this respect
Yep, from “inside” the box…
new-kuyler!
the nuclear weapon is the six-shooter of the 20th century; its competitive advantage, eclipsed in threat only by its ubiquity! shut up parlie!
@65 yeah, cuz the no-fly zone worked in iraq for a frickin decade…..
“Oh Jeez, I’m just an oatsider, I don’t know what yoo guyz er talkin aboat, youz Washington folk.”
How exactly, does John McCain know how to WIN a war? What war did “we” “win” exactly, that he was involved in?
beeeeeeee esssssssssss – like Kerry could’ve found and killed Bin Laden – non-issue!
I’m out of booze. I only have juice, blue agave juice, barley and hops juice.
@62:
yep, i had to go throw up at that.
/at least that makes room for more shots
heaven forbid you are ever a heartbeat away from the presidency, no???
mesmerized by her dangly earrings…
liver what??
OMG – I just got a message from wordpress that I was posting comments too quickly…
/damn that adderall
Can someone please tell Sarah Palin that this is actually a debate for the vice-presidency of the United States and not an interview for Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s job on THE VIEW??
(wine is gone, moving to whiskey – please forgive the typo’s…)
uh oh, now they’re talking about their hometowns and how in touch they are
echo – come over hear – can’t stand the pointin’ no???
oh, fuck, yeah, teacher’s are great, shut the fuck up…
84 – no shit – shout out – WTF???>
What pointin’?
yeah, baby, I’m “concerned”, too. and yer point? HAHAHAHAHA
Mr. Bidden’s Neighborhood.
/will be on SNL…(it should be).
gosh darnit now joe, there you go again…(barF!!!!!).
can you spell “LAME”???
john mccain tapped her?!?
she keeps talking about finger-pointin’ and lookin’ at the past…etc, ad nauseum
(starting to think the good questions were front-loaded in the first hour…)
ooh, does Mrs. McCain know that?
On a side note, will the polling in Illinois change dramatically when the entire North Side jumps off a bridge tomorrow?
waiting for palin’s incredibly stupid response…. wait for it….
ok. i gotta go refill my glass…let me know if i miss anything good….
“Cheney’s the most dangerous VP in history”
+10 to Joe
You know, whether he’s a good or honest man, I like Biden. I like someone who speaks their mind, doesn’t mince words, and doesn’t give a damn for PCness.
/This is the longest I’ve listened to Palin before (and I only tuned in around 10pm) and I am NOT charmed.
//Also, my linguistic background is highly doubting the authenticity of that accent. From Northern Idaho, to Wasilla for high school, to college in Hawaii and someone ends up with that accent?
cheney was the president – you didn’t really think W was up to the job??
BBT – Palin did much better in hour 1
It is a big state. No one lives there, so she isn’t responsible for people, but it is big.
ooh, she said heartland, mom, son in war, kid in college and tuition bill, health insurance and kitchen table in all the same sentence???
think she’s still doing better than anyone expected
ok, i’m about to implode and explode tv in same moment. i’m torn between watching this train wreck and searching for back to back house episodes…
am in so much agony that i’m thinking hannah montana might be a healthy alternative at this point…
(cue the little cartoon red white and blue birdies) ” our world view is that…America is a bright and shining city on a hill”…
um.
who comes to tears first???
some fuckin’ humanity from Biden, finally. Good job Joe
Biden just choked up a little bit. Therefore he is human, unlike Supreme Lord of the Nether Realms Cheney.
“we have not got to allow”
parse that, bitches!
@107 – better? how do you define “better” when it is so obvious that she is completely clueless and out of touch?
@104 I’ll have to catch it later.
I’ve still always doubted the motives behind her being picked as VP candidate.
Just a fleeting thought, but I almost thought that maybe I’d rather see these two as the prez candidates than the other two…
ooh, Joe Biden – pit bull WITHOUT lipstick!
Oh, I’m so happy, they just announced the final question…
@116 – yeah, I wanna vote for “None of the above” – throw out the current candidates and pick new ones…
Going to the bathroom is now a possibility
i was wondering about the maverick thing.
pretty nice smack down, joe. i don’t think McCain/Palin will be able to use that term as effectively in the future after that bit.
@119: I’ll run. My platform: Booze for kids!!!
@115 i think she’s holding her own ok for her lack of experience – thought she’d totally screw up. don’t think she’s clueless or out of touch – think she’s out of her league politically/media-wise and not making a complete ass of herself
@110 Interesting reference…. Holy crap, early american lit. paid off lol John Winthrop’s sermon, A Model of Christian Charity.
Whoo hoo, you didn’t veto… like that’s something to be proud of???
I think she’s hyperventilating…anyone catch that?
@122 I’ll run. My platform: This country belongs to the citizens, not the government.
@123 – oh, don’t be fooled, she’s totally been trained for this debate…OMG she’s
“my family is diverse”
so, your other teenage kids don’t put out?!?
wait, is this tina fey or sarah palin… i think the line just blurred.
@114: i got a little sidetracked trying to figure out what that would actually mean if it was english
@107: agreed, but she didn’t really carry past the first hour.
she has a lot of cliches and excellent coaching (where were they 8 and 4 years ago for Gw?).
cause it’s a really, really, lberal conspiracy, ya’ll
OMG, please tell me Joe Biden has the last word… I just threw up a little in my mouth
closing speeches = break out the kneepads
/never really got into blow jobs…
john mccain is the only man who has ever fought for me?!?!?!?!?
oh, shit. she just woke up Reagan from his grave.
hey bp! i just realized you’re on here early! high five!
/will only debate after beer: no training
I’m sorry, but despite any actual content, I find Joe Biden’s voice somehow comforting… Is that wrong?
@ 137 – hey, yourself, fiver
i’m wondering if he’s allergic to his toothpaste – what’s up with the corners of his mouth?
that said, Joe gives better head than Sarah…
and god bless us, every one…
@124- thanks for that! Palin referenced Reagan as the origin.
Hahaha “telling our children….and our children’s children…” Don’t forget the grandchildren.
the moderator did a great job
I am so tired of the word “folksy” being used to excuse ineptitude. When someone cuts me off in traffic, I do not call them “folksy.”
OMG – I can’t believe how many people they’re calling up – Joe, don’t fall for the spin, yo!
right up there with “salt of the earth”
Palin did better from 9-10, Biden from 10-10:30
Um, I hear NBC saying Palin was ok, didja not listen???
kiss him sarah!
ok, back to being a CVillain – I’d totally do the Biden girls over the Palin girls…
ow. ow. oooowwww my brain hurts. i want to wipe that stupid fake-fargo-perma-smirk off her face… with something maverickly nucular. (parlie’s penis, perhaps?)
/hopping over to FX; pondering a lye wash for my brain
my brain feels weirdly fat and lazy…as if it had too much carbs
@138 It’s either the voice a man you can trust or a con artist. Unfortunately, I’m so bloody idealistic I hope it’s the voice of a man I can trust.
@143 The original reference is definitely from the sermon. Winthrop speaks of the new Puritan colony about to land in Massachusetts as being a “city on a hill”, to be looked up to and watched by the world. It’s been a concept widely accepted and believed in since Reagan…
palin did better than we all expected by orders of magnitude. you can coach that, i guess, but you’ve got to have a good student to coach. impressed.
not that it matters, i’m voting for alex balk.
I’m shocked the comments here have veered move on peta left. Buster. I take it you are in favor of peace and diversity. You people are an angry group. Like Yankee fans without the humor. Yes, let Biden have the last word. Really? How very sad and elitist.
I can’t believe I’m hearing this… channel 4 says she didn’t do anything that would end up on saturday night live, i think she held her own…
yeah, she held her son/grandson afterward for the photogs, but no, no and no. she didn’t hold her own, whatever the heck that’s supposed to mean.
@152:
you may want to rethink that, it does seem like the Palin girls are a sure thing.
@158 What that means is that she did much better than most thought she would. I’d agree
i agree parlie….except for the alex balk part.
/not angry at all
@157 = yeah, we’re totally angy, you didn’t get that???? Nobody has said anything about PETA, but we have a few things I really feel strongly about, and she did not have the BALLS to deal with it. If you think that’s sexist, I don’t fucking care…
She totally did NOT!!!
She is still an unplayed card, she is still wild
Really? Were you watching the whole thing?
Realize that I *hate* politics. I think both parties are completely full of shit. I watched tonight salivating, waiting to see Palin get ripped apart. She didn’t. Politically, she won. Hands down.
Very similar to the conversation I had tonight w/ a guy whose credit card was declined at West Main. Afterwards he said ALL RICH PEOPLE ARE EVIL AND (yes he said it in caps because that’s how I think now) they ALL inherited their money and play golf. I said Joe Biden is rich. John Kerry is rich. They are all rich. The ones who care about you…the little people. Duped. No thank you. Not drinking anyone’s Kool Aid and you can all be smarmy and super cute with your prose. They are ALL THE SAME. Get it yet? Platforms and planks. Not walking any of them. Keep following the sheep.
@165 “what difference does it make whether the wrapper is red or blue, when we all know the package is full of shit?”
philalawyer.net for president
i agree, oy, w/ your sentiments about politics and why i watched – was waiting for the train wreck and was relieved not to see one.
and @166, apparently
150 comments in 2 hours. Win for Spicy Bear
glad to help! what do we win?
@165 Take into consideration that Biden is notorious for being unPC (at least according to media and Republicans), and it’s quite possible that he’s been coached to restrain himself. I think he’d have been fucking awesome if he could just talk the way he thinks.
Oh, I don’t know, because we have one party who talks strongly about immigration “policy,” about what it is to be “American,” and yet, unlike those who are asked about the Constitution on their citizenship test, we have a candidate for the understudy of at least the figurehead leader of this country who cannot name a newspaper or a Supreme Court case to discuss in even the most casual detail, who thinks that a wink of her eye can substitute for a truthful statement, who believes that physical proximity to a nation is a proxy for diplomatic experience, and who believes that repetition is the sincerest form of clarity?
We laugh at Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, just like we laughed at Will Farrell as George W. Bush, but would Bush get re-elected again today? Maybe so. Maybe until people are willing to think about what they are willing to give in order to gain prosperity, dignity, peace and equality, instead of what they should GET for just being born, then we deserve whatever we get — then we deserve all the “folksy” charm of what political campaigning has to offer. Please vote, people — whatever your choice, at least make one.
did you watch the same debate i did, cause i’m thinkin you did not,
/dropping g’s like sp
oh, no worries, i know who I’m voting for. it just really scares me who some other folk are voting for…and the greater worry – why.
For a while on here it was like wham, bam, post as fast as you can, eh?
170: which must be why “Thor” didn’t jump in with whiny demands of “NO POLITICS!” They may well need these numbers in their sale of this fine property.
okay, agreed she did better than expected, but that folksy shit makes me wanna hurl. Gosh darn it, don’t ya know, Alaska!
@172 – then he shouldn’t have listened to his handlers. Double-loss for Biden
bbt, ya can’t keep it, no???
Keep what?
NO POLITICS…
jk jk i thought this was cordial
how about this?
Just read through this, and I vote comment #129 to be the winner
Oy-
“my family is diverse”
so, your other teenage kids don’t put out?!?
@179 – my apologies, bbt, I dropped a word that might have made more sense
I meant to ask if you were finding that you could’nt keep up with the speed of the comments last night.
@184 I would’ve if I wasn’t at work…
It was funny how jock-sniffing each was for our ally Israel and
how neither mentioned Great Britain, our actual best and most loyal ally,
and one that causes us seemingly the least trouble, and offers us the most support.
just a post debate thought – who suddenly thought of delores umbrage after watching sarah palin last night???
Harry Potter= Threadkiller
missed all this last night because i took a lunesta at 8, but, all y’all who are saying she did better than expected & her handlers did a good job, well, you’d think her handlers would have taught her something about what mccain’s stance is on the issues, cause she kept f’ing that up. a show pony can’t do tricks if it’s too dumb. she shouldn’t be congratulated for babbling & dodging questions (i.e., the “achilles heel” question–she doesn’t know what that means, obvi) — has bush really lowered your standards that much?
my political standards were already low pre-bush! i just really expected palin to totally fuck up and she didn’t. i thought – relatively speaking – she did really well. she babbled and dodged as well as the next guy in any political debate. didn’t really expect any substance from the debate in the first place (see “low standards”). think you were smart to take a lunesta.
/dug the dangly earrings
@190 &, i suppose, the wink.
missed the wink – would’ve laughed and rolled my eyes…very clintonesque. refuse to lose my sense of humor over politics. a tv debate would never change my vote, but enjoyed the show.
how about this one?
rofl! it’s gonna be really amusing in the next twenty years to see candidates’ facebook pages and such from when they were younger!
/missed brunch last weekend – how did the bills do?
/still snickering
the bills won!
i’ll be there this sunday, too!
back to the young journalist wanna be… i was watching some interview with her today and she said something to the effect of “i studied journalism so i know how you people work (so i can play your game), and i’m not going to let you work me, i’m gonna work you. you ask me questions and i’m going to answer how i want to get my message to the people.”
(ooh, i bet they are all huddled, worrying how she’s gonna school them).
she studied politics, too! OMG! always feel so living-in-china when they refer to “the people”…
/building the great wall of fry springs
@192 i don’t know how you missed the wink, because there wasn’t just one. it was a twitch that lasted the entire thing, but it had the pervy republicans “sitting up straighter on the couch” because they felt “she was winking right at me.”
@193 i can’t believe she used to be a pageantist, because she sure can’t walk in heels now.
orchid, you are so damn funny!
Just thought this was an interesting article on Palin’s performance from that debate, from The Guardian
BBT… that is a great article, and summarizes exactly how I feel. If McCain had a heart attack and was in intensive care…. would you want her finger on the red button?
1) my entire life, my mom’s been talking about what illiterate retards her community college students are. after this debate, she realized that every single one of them writes more clearly than palin speaks.
2) she’s clearly positioning herself to run for president next time around, if they don’t win. (& if they do, i bet he mysteriously dies…)
…. of shame
just turned tv on – no hot-button (yeah, i already thought of one joke, there) fingers a-flyin’ commenting on the presidential debate on – jeebus – almost every channel???
/Not to worry, taken my “hood” off, not that I ever owned one… thanks, stanley
oh, yeah, forgot it was tuesday. sorry, ss’ers
thanks, stanley
Wait, what? What happened? I haz a confuz.
@33 on friendship court post where I totally ate my left leg. Soooo not what i meant.
