Think about the American Sign Language interpreter! ASL is based on getting information across and not sentence structure. They will have to use Signing Exact English (SEE) for the debate.

Think about the person typing the closed captioning!

Simple, misinterpretation and the start of a war because of said interpretation of Palin.

A Republican candidate must withhold as much information as possible. Palin did not know if her McHandlers would approve of her naming newspapers. Surely she could have named three: Alaska Daily News, The McPaper, The New York Times. Palin had already been admonished for many missteps.

All papers create potential stink bombs. Joe Sixpack hates the “librul” NYT (you know the liberal paper that propelled the Iraq Invasion via Judy Miller).

McPaper may be perceived to be idiotic. Alaska Daily News is a local salmon wrapper.

Palin’s mind went haywire. What paper can I say that will be beneficial to our sleazy campaign of lies, minority bashing and more corporate tax cuts?

I didn’t know Brittany Spears was even working for the McPalin campaign, now she got fired? Oh well, I’m sure she’ll find a job somewhere.

I hope Biden tries to be inclusive of some Republicans who have been discouraged by the last eight years. That this ultimately has nothing to do with parties but with issues and the disastrous policies of the last eight years. I worked with several former Republican women who had recently jumped on the Obama/Biden bus.

30% of Republicans in Ohio voted for our former Congressman Strickland when he was running for Governor two years ago. Strickland won not only based on his record, his integrity but because he was so skillful at pulling people in from the Republican party and Independents by being very inclusive. Focused on issues…focused on inclusivity.

Either we take her degree in journalism seriously and expect the facts stated in complete thoughts or we don’t.

This is the extent of her higher education. Journalism.

I’m far more lenient when I work with students with special needs, and I expect no less than noun/verb agreement.

I expect them to make sense. I expect accuracy and evidence when they expound upon a topic sentence. Their paragraphs must hold together.

I read back to them what they have written. They have the self awareness to cringe when hear things that sound like Sarah Palin.

I agree with you completely – I’ve had this weird thought in my head for a couple of days…the way she responds to questions, and that whole business with her avoidance of talking about reading newspapers, magazines, etc….and the fact that it took her so long to get through college..I really do wonder if she has some sort of reading problem – like dyslexia or something. Not that it forgives her for being an uncurious, ill prepared, ignorant, oil and natural gas company shill…but I really do wonder about her ability to process information through actual reading. I went to grad school with a girl who had that problem and the only way she could get through was by having someone read her texts and notes into a tape recorder and play them to herself. I used to think she was very religious when I went by her room because I could always hear this murmuring…I found out later that she was basically memorizing her texts through listening to them and repeating the stuff.
