Sarah Palin explains the Bailout, Health Care, the U.S. Americans, Job Creationism, and The Other Asian Countries
Here's the clip:
Doh! Sorry, wrong clip (and you should see the lousy job Miss South Carolina did field-dressing my moose). Here's the one of Palin. She's got dark hair; I should have been able to tell the difference:
The sad part is that Palin's performances have been in stark contrast to the highly competent McCain, who I continue to believe would be a very good president (though I will vote for Obama as the better of two good choices).
Actually, during the debate on Friday night, Sarah Palin was at an Irish Pub a few blocks away from where I was at dinner with the judge and many others. I now regret not stopping in for a photo...
Amazingly, instead of bothering to write new material, Saturday Night Live just quoted Palin's actual remarks from this part of the interview in their skit last night (which you can see about 3/5ths of the way in here).

It was a mistake to let that woman from South Carolina 'field dress your moose.' You can get some serious diseases that way.

Tina Fey is a genius . . . and yeah, amazing that all they had to do was use Palin's own response in the skit!
It's a good thing we can laugh about it because otherwise the prospect of Palin is too scary . . .

I say, go ahead and elect McCain. Palin is an absolute gas, especially if she gets off script. Real world leaders will be so afraid she might really nuke them; she is a powerful deterrent to attack. She is also as funny as hell, but I'm not sure that that's intentional.
Is it really that amazing that SNL didn't bother to write new material? That show hasn't had a decent team of writers in ages.

The First Gore-Bush Presidential Debate
Al Gore, Democrat Presidential Nominee, stumbles into categories having nothing to do with the question.
MODERATOR: New question. We've been talking about a lot of specific issues. It's often said that in the final analysis about 90% of being the President of the United States is dealing with the unexpected, not with issues that came up in the campaign. Vice President Gore, can you point to a decision, an action you have taken, that illustrates your ability to handle the unexpected, the crisis under fire?
GORE: I invited the former prime minister of Russia to my house and took a risk in asking him to get personally involved, along with the head of Finland, to go to Belgrade and to take a set of proposals from the United States that would constitute basically a surrender by Serbia. I have been in public service for 24 years. And throughout all that time the people I have fought for have been the middle-class families, and I have been willing to stand up to powerful interests like the big insurance companies, the drug companies, the HMOs, the oil companies. They have good people and they play constructive roles sometimes, but sometimes they get too much power. I cast my lot with the people even when it means that you have to stand up to some powerful interests who are trying to turn the -- the policies and the laws to their advantage. You can see it in this campaign. The big drug companies support Governor Bush's prescription drug proposal. They oppose mine because they don't want to get Medicare involved because they're afraid that Medicare will negotiate lower prices for seniors who currently pay the highest prices of all.

That Gore answer seems an awful lot more coherent and responsive than what Palin said to Katie Couric. Was that your point?

The Gore comment was incompetent. Answer a question about crisis management by drifting off into health care lala land.
Al Gore. Fake smart guy.
