“so?”

I knew he would not mince words…

“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.”

Joe ran the ball into the end-zone on almost every play.

Sarah exceeded expectations twirling her talking-points baton.

Now, it’s time to Take Out the Trash:

Take Back America!

Sarah Palin BUSTED!! Forced to apologize to British ambassador for lying about participating in “talks” with him that never actually took place!

Here is a quote from the CNN transcript:

Now, Barack Obama had said that all we’re doing in Afghanistan is air-raiding villages and killing civilians. And such a reckless, reckless comment and untrue comment, again, hurts our cause.
That’s not what we’re doing there. We’re fighting terrorists, and we’re securing democracy, and we’re building schools for children there so that there is opportunity in that country, also. There will be a big difference there, and we will win in — in Afghanistan, also.

The first sentence is foolish overstatement. Obama doesn’t say that. He points out that we are using air power which leads to killing both fighters and civilians, and the indiscriminate killing is enraging the Afghanistani people. Speaking the truth is not hurting our cause. It is the first step towards dealing with the problem.

We aren’t fighting terrorists. We are fighting the Taliban, a guerilla group that ruled the country, before we deposed them. And we aren’t even fighting terrorists because they are in Pakistan, which is off limits, especially to McCain. As to the bizarre notion that we are there to do reconstruction, tell that to the Canadians, whose soldiers are dying just like ours and many others. Biden quoted the commanding general there very effectively, leaving her grasping for an answer.

Held her own? Maybe in wingnuttia.

Joe’s got the “that’s not a maverick facts down.”
