No Dutch baby, but I still have pie!
Off to watch the SNL clips.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

More than a few people have noticed that Biden was on hand to offer a lot of post-debate analysis and reaction on the news shows, whereas Palin is incommunicado, as per usual.

Wasn't that why Giuliani was in Mississippi. Because he can actually string together a coherent sentence? Which, I have to think, must have chapped McCain's ass because he doesn't really like Rudy, does he?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For my math Ph. D., I had to pass one foreign language exam, with the language being my choice of French, German, or Russian. That's pretty standard for math programs -- some require two languages. But the exam is pretty easy -- they just give you a few pages of an article in the language to translate into English, with the help of a dictionary. Two of my friends passed the French exam without ever having taken a French course. (And one of them had Japanese as his first language, and his English isn't all that great.) What they're looking for isn't so much "proficiency" as "if you really must figure out what someone's saying, you can."

I wonder how low the bar is set at this point for pundits to declare "Palin did what she needed to do in this debate", when it ends? Is not speaking in tongues sufficient? Will she declared to have debated successfully in the debate if her sentences flow into coherent paragraphs?

Given that she didn't even manage that in her Couric interview....
A part of me wishes it would turn out that she's sort of a pool hustler who has been throwing her early interviews so that she by comparison wins the debate when she finally cuts loose.
But it's not the way I'm betting.

I think at this point, given the ability, or lack thereof, she's exhibited, that's setting the bar pretty damned high.
She's really beginning to piss me off with attempting to use the faux charm and hair toss and "I'll get back to ya," flippancy as a cover-up for the fact that she is completely not qualified for this. At all.
And yet... so many women in this country "relate to her." And that this is what the rest of the world is seeing-- that this incoherent yahoo is who a major party chooses to potentially be one heartbeat away from the highest office in the land. It makes me want to absolutely weep.
I swear, if I was a woman in high political office in this country, regardless of party, I'd be planning to make Sarah Palin disappear. Some of those women, they know how to dispose of bodies, I'm sure.
