Sarah Palin was.....interesting. She "exceeded expectations" by most counts and I would agree with that assertion, although, I think most of us were expecting her to freeze/throw up/pass out upon shaking Bidens hand. She did none of those things, but did manage to use the term "maverick" about a thousand fucking times.
In short she managed to talk. She talktalktalktalktalked, unfortunately she answered very little, got most of her facts wrong, and sounded like a redneck from the U.P.....that's not a good thing for me.
I was going to point out everything that was wrong with what she said, but these news outlets did it for me (and better than I would have). The links are at the bottom of the page.
I think the fact check clearly shows that Palin just didn't know the facts and Biden knew exactly what he was saying, just skewing the truth slightly.
My favorite mistake of Palins was calling General McKiernan "General McClellan". She was about 150 years off, McClellan was a General in the Civil War. At least she named a general I guess....
One thing I really disliked was them trying to out do each other by talking about their down home childhoods. I can't believe people buy into that bullshit. Somehow Palin saying "hockeymommaverickjoesixpackmaverickmaverickenergywashingtonoutsidermaverick" results in some people decided "yes....yes.......YES!!!!! That is exactly me in every way!! SHE KNOWS WHAT I NEED!!!!!!"
It cracks me up to see the middle class/lowerclass people that have McCain signs in their yard.
I guess in all this bullshit, I'm not going to change anyones mind and no ones going to change my mind. It's stupid to try. So the point of this blog is.......well there isn't one. I just don't like Palin or republican views in general and wanted to share it. It's all bullshit. Dis Janky. U Janky.
*EDIT* All the links I linked got deleted. Fuck it, find them yourself.

I thought Biden took the debate, but I don't think we saw his best effort. I don't know if he was playing down to the level of the competition or if he and his briefers just didn't take Palin seriously (easy enough to do). That debate should have been a whitewash... a good old-fashioned ass-kicking.
It wasn't.
But when he'd finally heard the word "maverick" one too many times Joe landed a flurry of right-left combinations that made me stand up and cheer. My dog is now convinced I have lost the last of the sanity I had left.
We were trying to determine if she belongs in Playboy as "Hot Chicks Over Forty"..
Or in Hustler's "Beaver Hunt"..
Nice little post here Seanie..
Keep up the good work...
G..er DAD!!!!
