Biden vs. Palin

To add my two-cent to last night’s vice-presidential debate, I will use a ski analogy. Joe and Sarah were engaged in a downhill race. One of them was supposed to win; most spectators feared or hoped that Sarah would crash and that her team would be finished. Since she managed to cross the finish line without crashing, the media and this country’s idiots thought she did okay if not great. Unfortunately, this was a race and Joe won it by a crushing margin. If you should doubt that, some 38,000 readers of the conservative Wall Street Journal gave 58.5% for Biden vs. only 40.9% for Sarah "snake-eye" Palin...
Now, the main issue of the debate was who of the two candidates was more presidential should something happen to their running mates; no contest there, Joe Biden won!To her credit, Sarah was excellent at deflecting questions and regurgitating her prose learned in preparing for the event. Sure, Ifil’s follow up was quite poor as she should have called her every time she failed to answer what was asked of her… Sarah will also have to learn what an “Achilles heel” is and to pronounce “nuclear;” no, Mrs. Palin, it’s not nu-ku-lar!
I’m now reassured that with tonight’s performance she’ll safely remain in Alaska, with the moose, the bears and ninety percent of the world’s proven oil reserves which she inferred Alaska possessed during her recitation…
