McCain Is Trying To Delay The Veep Debate

Why? Because every time Palin talks to someone who isn’t in the tank like Sean Hannity we get one of these.

    I am embarrased FOR her.

    Hey, she didn’t blink and she was still smiling.

    What else can we expect of a Runner-up in the Miss Vice President of the United States Pageant. This is like a pageant, right?

    Where are the Usual Suspects (The J’s) to defend this train wreck of a V.P. candidate. Or is this some kind of Rovian political jujitsu to lower expectations below Bush, Jr.’s? Those of us who are Reality Based–in the immortal words of Jack Buck–can’t believe what we just saw.

    “I am embarrased FOR her.”

    Exactly.

    People who think she’s worth of being V.P. are morons. Fortunately, that number appears to be shrinking.

  6. I will never be humiliated or embarrassed for Sarah Palin because she could have blinked and said no when McCain came a calling for a running mate.

    But due to some crazy quirk, this woefully underqualified individual said ‘Sure’ to be the Republican VP nominee.

    Well let the pucks fall where they may.

    This ISH IS CRAZEE!

    What a fucking embarrassment. Is it possible that McCain would actually NOT show up to debate on Friday if there’s no bailout deal. I think that would be AMAZING.

    But seriously, this is a fucking joke. What a pathetic pair of candidates McCain and Palin are.

  8. Bruce says:

    McCain’s throwing it. It’s what I first predicted when he picked Palin. He needs to make a credible showing, but he’s acting like a guy trying to throw the election credibly, not one who’s trying to attack Obama and make him look weak or incompetent.

    There’s no “crisis”; there a potentially very serious problem. If they put this off until the next Congress, no big deal, the markets can hold out and not “freak.” Not that I want this bailout period, but you know, if. McCain should be pounding Obama into the ground and his VP should be decking both Biden and Obama. But no. He wants to retire, heal as much as he can heal, enjoy the sun, get paid $50,000 for a 3 hour speech, maybe a little action on the side. So he didn’t pick Romney the number cruncher, and tell the theocratic right to go die while scooping chamber of commerce moderates in much greater numbers. He picks a KNOWN train wreck, or was depravedly indifferent to her trainwreckitude. Why? Because it’s all about the grandchildren and the pools in the Arizona desert and the houses and the cars and the speaking fees. And possibly his health, from appearances.

  9. what’s going to be horrible is when she does even worse at the debates and the media just pretends “she wasn’t bad” which you can believe me is exactly what’s going to happen.

    “Admiral James Stockdale with lipstick.”

    Wasn’t he partially deaf as the result of torture and that’s why he did poorly at the debates?

    What the hell is Palin’s excuse.

  12. rikyrah says:

    think on this. she had even MORE TIME to cram the soundbites into her feeble mind. She’s not doing events. She sure in hell isn’t doing press conferences.
    that’s why I disagree with anyone who says that this is better than the Gibson ‘interview’. it’s worse because she had more time. There simply is no ‘THERE’ THERE.

    She IS as bad as we thought she was.

    They did all of this maneuvering because they wanted to cancel the VP debate.

  13. rikyrah says:

    BTW,

    Couric is a friggin’ NETWORK ANCHOR. CBS should get 95% of her paycheck back. You think Walter Cronkite would have done that bullshit she did? Hell, Dan Rather?

    nope.

    Hah! This is the best day evah! Meknows McFalin got played today and their camp has omelets on their faces (cheese, anyone?) and have only 2 non-choices: pres. debates at Ole Miss. & vp debates w/ Joey and … what her name? I have never laughed so hard as when I saw the whole coverage and realized that they just got it good! Hah! What happened today to them is so far better than a good old novel. THINK ABOUT IT! Think Palace politics, as in King Henry VIII. Sorry, couldn’t resist the Henry part (Time cover of Paulson). So, who gets the head chop tomorrow, eh?
