Will the Vice Presidential Debate be dumbed down?
Serious question for serious times. We simply do not have time for Sarah “six pack” Palin to complete finishing school.
And speaking of questions… Any ideas of what Ifill will ask? And how Palin will answer?
Tags: 2008 Presidential, Joe Biden, Sarah Palin
“Gov. Palin do you know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? If so, could you please elaborate?”
“Gov. Palin, where’s Russia?”
“Gov. Palin could you please tell us your definition of ‘gotcha journalism’? ”
“Gov. Palin, you’ve been described by many bloggers as a MILF. Do you know what this is, and, if so, are you proud to be America’s most popular MILF?”
“Gov. Palin, could you please tell us about your experiences in band camp?”
I will buy a round of drinks at the next drinking liberally if Ifill says, “Could you expand on that point, Gov?” after Palin non-answers a question.
“Gov. Palin, you’ve been described by many bloggers as a MILF. Do you know what this is, and, if so, are you proud to be America’s most popular MILF?”
It’d be funny as hell if they actually asked something like that at a debate.
“Gov. Palin, you’ve been described by many bloggers as a MILF. Do you know what this is, and, if so, are you proud to be America’s most popular MILF?”
“Uh, In what respect, Gwen? When John McCain tapped me he said it was all about jobs – you know, when Putin rears his head, where does he go? That is what America is all about, uh, doing it on the local level that not everybody is going to agree what needs to be done, but if I am so blessed I am not only ready, but willing and able. I got a long pipe laid in Alaska because that is what I like about the bush doctrine.”
Governor Palin, as a surprise to you, we have planted Minister Putin in today’s live audience. Could you pick him out for us please?
Given the responses (too funny, btw) to my question… I guess the answer is: Yes, the VP debate will be dumbed down.
“Senator Biden, what is your favorite color?”
“Governor Palin, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen Willow Ptarmigan?”
(State bird of Alaska – not quite as cool as the Fightin’ Blue Hen!)
I doubt it will be asked but I would love to hear, “Gov. Palin, what does a vice president do all day?”
Gov. Palin we understand how you feel about Roe vs. Wade, but how do you feel about “infidelity”?
Gwen: Gov. Palin did you not have an affair with the “first dude’s business partner in 2006”?
Palin: Sorry that’s a personal question which I refuse to answer, its not relevant to this debate.
Gwen: Gov with all the infidelity we have in Congress, with Bill Clinton, the american people want to know, “will you continue infidelity when you are VP”, inquirer, errr inquiring minds want to know.
Let’s just get it over with and follow the questioning format of “The Dating Game”.
Given all the advice to Biden to tone it down tonight, the decision to limit back-and-forth between the candidates doesn’t look all that bad.
By the way, this showed up in the comments to my latest Guardian piece:

There are four bingo different cards with all of your favorite Palin catch-phrases, plus you can make your own. Fun for the entire debate party!
BTW, she will say “middle class” tonight. I put the over/under at 3.5.
Funny!
Are these candidates subject to random drug testing?
Cassandra – Very funny, But just so that we are clear, that link is satire.
Have you seen the Palin interview answer generator?

Here’s what it has up now:
That is a very Palinesque answer. Yay programmers!
Oh yes — that link is satire….thought people here would know that…
Gov what is the wing velocity of an unladen swallow?? I belived Micheal knew that answer. However I could be wrong
Is that an African or European swallow?
TT, UI, finally someone gets my Python reference!
