The Poetry of Palin
At Slate, Hart Seely has compiled actual statements made by the Republican VP nominee. Behold this sample, from her ABC News interview.
You are a cynic.Â
Because show me where
I have ever saidÂ
That there’s absolute proofÂ
That nothing that man
Has ever conductedÂ
Or engaged in,
Has had any effect,Â
Or no effect,Â
On climate change.
I’m. . .I’m stunned.

The Huffington Post blogged about how she admitted that she was annoyed by Katie Couric’s questions? Was she expecting a sparring match where her opponent was going to tell her how she’ll be taken down?

did you see how many times she winked during the debate? it’s absolutely hysterical. it must be her way of saying the joke is on you America!

She winked when she said she would get McCain to change his mind about drilling in Alaska. Drilling, wink-wink-nudge-nudge? Gross! In his blog James Wolcott notes that every guy watching the debate thought Palin was winking at him. What if Obama winked during a debate? Would every woman think he was winking at her? But as my friend Tina notes, we can’t imagine Barack doing the wink-wink-nudge-nudge, leering, or picking his nose. That is why those who hate him, hate him: he triggers the “You think you’re better than me?” reflex.

Listen to some none too shabby prose:

I found her winking and “you betchas”, “heckuvalots”, “darnits”, and that shoutout to the 3rd graders who stayed up to watch the debate grating and phony. I am disappointed that the moderator did not insist that she answer the questions that she skirted because she obviously could not defend the indefensible. That debate showed Sarah Palin to be the intellectual lightweight that she is compared to the substantive, thoughtful, and persuasive Sen. Biden.
Some commenters in the Huffington Post and/or Daily Kos (I forget which) are incensed that after that brief moment when Biden choked up upon recalling the tragedy that befell his wife and daughter, Palin blithely segued into her John McCain-is-a-maverick talking point. They called her insensitive, devoid of class, and robotic–that was an unscripted moment that, in all likelihood, was not part of her debate prep, and she failed to muster even a simple “I’m sorry for your loss” in response.

lmfao!! nice chart u got there…

Why, after this debate, are people still having intentions of voting her because, as they’d say, “she’s like us?†So what?
One CNN anchorperson to another:
Anchorperson 1: … but charm, and personality alone wouldn’t help Gov. Palin into winning the hearts of people.
Anchorperson 2: But you have charm and personality, and people watch you and like you!
Me: BUT SHE’S A BROADCASTER AND NOT RUNNING FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY!!!
And that insensitivity with Biden? She thought she can get away with her “hockey-mom-slash-endangered-species-poacher-tougher-than-Hillary-woman†image. HAH.

NYT’s Maureen Dowd eviscerates Ms. Palin’s “undiagrammable” syntax. Well, now we know why she got booted off the McCain campaign plane. (That McCain is pikon, didn’t he also cancel an appearance on Larry King in a fit of pique?)

It’s been said she’s a fast study. So who coaches her? People from Fox who looked and talked like they are hawking chismis not news? And she their pupil who sound like she is interviewing for a receptionist job at a sleazy motel not the vice presidency of the USA. Perky and impertinent and ignorant.

I saw a replay of the Letterman episode that John McCain wormed out of because he was “suspending his campaign”. Dave was furious and he was magnificent. Cranky old geezer McCain is no match for Our Cranky Old Geezer Letterman. Then, as Dave was talking to instant substitute guest Keith Olbermann, they cut to the CBS News studio where McCain, who was allegedly on a plane back to Washington, was being made up for his guest appearance. On the same network, how bobo is that. Dave said, “You need a ride to the airport?” then he let McCain have it some more.
I also caught Bill Clinton’s guest appearance on Dave, where he explained the subprime mortgage crisis so clearly, anyone could understand it. Hey, remember when America was run by smart people?

And because he did that, every Republican wants Dave’s head. They were accusing him to be an “old, self-absorbed has-been” who should stop whining about the presidentiable missing his show. They fail to have a say, however, about the Couric appearance.
Then Dave had to explain himself the next night:
