Not
only was there no debate but Sarah Palin was not required actually to
answer any of the questions put to her, and she announced before she
began that she was just going to throw up on us all the talking points
that she had binged on in Arizona for the past few days.
She mugged for the camera, winked like a bar fly, and just went on
talking and talking and talking, oblivious to whatever anyone else
said. Not only did she ignore most of Gwen Ifill's questions,she paid
no attention to what Joe Biden said. When he choked up over the loss of
his family, she did not have the decency to express any kind of
condolences. It is almost as though she is autistic and unable to
connect with human beings.
I
didn't stay up to watch the debate last night, but was able to watch it
this afternoon on Turkish television. It's shameless, really, the way
Sarah Palin just babbled through her memorized talking points rather
than answering half the questions she was asked. And it's even worse
that the media gives her a pass on this. Time magazine gave both Biden and Palin the same grade—a B. Frankly, I think Biden deserves better, and Palin should get nothing more than an incomplete.
