Ouch.

McDepends calling for a veto of a bill he just voted for needs to be turned into a commerical pronto.

Noooooo not the supreme court question again.

Ah, Taxi. Earliest Lloyd. Love it.

Dear Rachel Maddow: Please stroke my hair lovingly while singing me an Irish lullaby. Please.

does he remember voting for it? I smell a hint of dementia...

Yeah, Taxi! I'm gonna watch the whole thing later...dessert, if you will. Thanks for the relevant transcript!

Evening folks. It's coming up to 2am here in Ye Olde Englande, and I've just dragged my sorry ass out of bed to watch this bad boy,

My prediction - Total Anticlimax. But I live in hope of some fireworks...

That is my all time favorite Taxi scene.

How did the Kinky Gorilla Convention go recruitgal?

Recruiter! Good mornin'.

Ibi Da!

Yeah, I'll vote for Total Anticlimax as well. Dud City.

Gorilla pix please linky?

Ha! Fineman says Palin wanted a second day of a Couric interview to clean up her first day. AHAHAHA!!! What a dimwit!

I hear that Shecky Green is going to warm up the crowd.

Everytime someone says TAXI, I get Louie DePalma askin' Jim Ignatowski, "Are you talkin' to me? You must be talkin' to me...ain't nobody else in the garage except Latke, an' I know you ain't talkin' to Latke!"

The gorilla run was very entertaining, and I lived to tell the tale... There were about 800 gorillas all in, which is about the same number left in the wild (so sad..).

When Life hands Sarah a shovel, she keeps diggin' by Gaaaad!

Was Bush 41 the only one she could remember? Surely he couldn't be anyone's real favorite. Shirley?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7639270.stm

Just in case you start dozing off during the debate!

Don't panic, don'tpanic.

The funny thing about her only remembering Shrub41 was that she went on to claim that he did some learnin' on the job. Nevermind the multitude of positions he held beforehand.

It's not even that she picked George Sr., but more to the point that she tried to make him out to be her peer, learning to be president "on the job." That's ludicrous.

Thanks, Recruit. I meant to google that and got distracted by the end of the world as we know it in congress.

Love the Obama sign behind Matthews.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh shut up Mathews!!!

Et tu, Hasselbeck?

I'll try, Jane. But the bile is already running up my throat.

I just got here and someone may have already typed this. If they have i apologize. But in regard to an Ifill Bias...

I didn't hear anyone from the Obama camp complaining about a bias when George Stephanapolous moderated a debate with Hillary Clinton involved when he used to work for the Clintons.

4 minutes. I'm gone.
Best to all you Cescians. You're a stalwart bunch - mostly certifiably insane...which is a good thing. We can't be convicted.

Well I better use the facilities before this thing starts.

See you after, Avi.

Pooollllleeeeeeezzzzzz, hair down. One hand on the baby, one hand addressing flyaway hair. Occasionally one hand on the railing while alighting the plane.

Here we go!

Yeah, that baby's almost not being held. Really spooked me.

Gotta go Over There now. Keep working on that collection. Will check in. Go!

Tbest, you're obviously too sober for this crowd. Will read, but won't remember what we were gonna say.

Alright - 9 p.m.! Time for some hard-core, x-rated whargarble!!! From a hooplehead, no less!

Ok...we're off...almost....
I see they're going with podiums rather than the sit-down we were told. Guess Sarah Lou didn't practice sitting down...

I'm a little surprised she didn't say Aaron Burr.

just cracked my first beer. late night at work

Stretch just blew his big audition with "Super Bell"

ummm... Tom Brokaw has some serious plaques on his head...ew.

WHARgarble. Whargarble. Harrumphh

One last - from Zappa...

RAM IT! RAM IT! RAM IT UP THE POOP CHUTE!

(there were competing Zappa lyrics...but it was a landslide when the votes were tallied)

Soledad O'Brien needs to learn something! If you speak too fast it sucks! Even if you're a hottie!

It's amazing how many pundits are talking about a possible Biden gaffe. At this point, Biden could go into the audience, take someone's baby and eat its head, and it still wouldn't matter.

"Can I call you Joe?"

Ah, she's a real sweetheart this gal.

"Can I call you Joe?" WTF?!!! Let's go with a lack of respect right off the bat!

"Hey, can I call you Joe?"

I'm already annoyed.

"C'n I call you Joe? Cause I got a good thing written up..."

HA! jinx

Joe comes out swinging at Bush. Lots of ums and ahs and uhs. Four points for Obama, nice specifics. Now he's swinging at McCain. MIDDLE CLASS, BAM!

barometer???? Bara-meter?

rofl kids soccer game on saturday? I'll betcha

hahahaha

Soccer game and "betcha." Great start.

She's only said like 30 words, and already I'm seriously annoyed. Soccer games? "I betcha".....grrr....

Oh, lord. She's going to the soccer moms already. Barometer! BAROMETER!

nervous much? I can hear her breathing with the tv off

So on Palin Bingo, does reform count for reformer?

I got a bingo! LOL!

She looks scurred.

Interesting. Biden is looking at Ifill, Palin is looking into the camera. Complete reversal of Obama/McCain.

She has reason to be nervous, but she didn't do badly on that first answer. Soccer game? Seems stupid, but it relates to people. They identify with that better than they identify with the truth and logic unfortunately.

Oh, Skiba, pace yerself. You'll get both. Several times. Once you've marked it off your card, you have to drink a shot.

Did she just WINK at me???

"the fundamental" of our economy.

Team of Mavericks...

Is that like a trademark violation of the REAL team of mavericks?

Just shoot me now!

Does anyone buy this nonsense that McCain was talking about the wonderful American workforce when he said fundamentals?

New and different is MCCAIN? WTF?

Was maverick one of our drinking words? I certainly made me drink multiple times.

Joe's holding his own!

Yer darn tootin!

Biden thinks: She's actually describing MY ticket in glowing terms. Sweet.

OK - very populist in tone for Gov. Palin.

And - is this true that McCain sounded any alarms on Freddie & Fannie?

QT

You're darn tootin'!

"Darn right."

Barffffffffff.

Anyone counting the "maverick" references?

"Darn right, it's the predatory lenders..."

Wow...that's all I can say...

"joe six-pack..."

Patronizing much?

rofl Joesixpacks and Hockey moms across the country... YEEHAWWWW

Beeeee cooool JOe she will dig her own grave!!

OMG! If I hear 'Joe Six-pack' one more time!!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

"Darn right."

Barffffffffff.

No!! No!! Joe Six Pack rears his ugly head!
And let's have strict oversight of those monsters on Wall St. She doesn't have a clue that Fucking Phil Gramm was behind it!

Oh, jeez....'Joe Six-Pack' and 'Hockey Moms' - I'm gonna have to go to the ER with alcohol poisoning before the debate is over.

SIX PACK everyone drink a six pack

"Darn right."

Barffffffffff.

stop saying he's a good man

Joe, please, God, LOOK AT THE CAMERA. CONNECT WITH THE PEOPLE! PLEASE!!

"20 different occasions called for dereg...healthcare = free market!"

BOO to you motha fuckas!

How much did it cost to fill your tank? PERFECT!

stop saying he's a good man

Hockey mom, soccer moms, darn it.

Baseball mom's, football moms, all us mothers need to booth these old men out of Warshingon...

Oh yeah, my running mate the oldest guy in this race. Whooopsy.

Joe's breathin too loud too. CALM DOWN Joe

She's already used hockey, soccer moms, maverick, and joe six-pack. That's all she's got! First ten minutes - already spent!

There she goes again with the $42K tax lie.

Golly Jeepers!

Go, Joe. ATTACK WHAT SHE DOESN'T SAY. ATTACK WHAT SHE DOESN'T SAY!

Did NOT answer the question!

She's already used hockey, soccer moms, maverick, and joe six-pack. That's all she's got! First ten minutes - already spent!

Come on....make the bitch answer about deregulation....

Im pretty sick of the 42k tax lie.

Here we go. Not answering the questions and being called on it.

She's gonna answer the questions HER way!

"Dollar" shoulda been a drinkin' word. "Those banking institutions that loan us those dollars"

So...she can't answer the questions, but she'll talk to the 'merican peaople about what she did as mayor and governor?

Please.

Joe is popular this year!

QT

We don't need tax reduction - cutting taxes does NOT create jobs! Witness today's increase in initial jobless claims to almost 500,000! And tomorrow the Sept unemployment rate comes out and it's sure to be higher than Aug's 6.1% - all under the Bush-COP tax CUTS!!!

Repubs think that if they repeat a lie enough times it becomes true...

Soccer moms, hockey, maverick, six-packs...one more and I'm getting a palinbingo!

Bob - Start a new thread. This one's grinding.

I wish he would stop calling McCain "John".

KatinWilm, my sentiments exactly. "Maverick" is definitely a drinking term for tonight.

Patriotic is wearing your flag pin!

OMG! She is like a computer on send mode!! Must....get....out....as....much....information...as....femobotically....possible!!!

YIKES!

Palin comes off like a 3rd grade teacher.

Is she going to talk about taxing health benefits or what? oh wait shes already said shes not going to answer the questions posed.

She's like a wind up toy, can't wait till she starts winding down.

She's not going to have to answer the questions. As long as she doesn't actually take a dump on the stage, all the MSM will say is she held her own.

Middle class is where Todd and I have been, very condescending little moment on her part there.

If she keeps up like she has so far, she'll be declared the winner by the BBQ MSM. Truth and answers don't really matter to undecideds. They want to identify with someone.

Patriotic is wearing your flag pin!

Can you get health insurance for $5000 a year?

I think Bob's right - she's gonna run out of things to say. She's running through the list of points her handlers gave her like a kid giving a report in school.

New thread! Run away!

"I may not answer the questions the way you want or the moderator wants" - no, Palin, you're simply not answering the questions. So that answer is the McCain campaign's work-around.

And notice her voice and inflection - very much trying to appeal to the people - the "I'm one of you- you're darn right!" Aw shucks, Palin! It's not going to fly.

SNAAAAAP

Excellent bridge to nowhere reference!

WOW! The ultimate bridge to nowhere!!!!

Oh, sweet baby Jesus in a manger. She believes McCain - that $5000 will buy health insurance!
And what's up with calling Senator Obama "Barack"? Has she no respect for anyone?!

Yes, Joe! Thank you for pointing out the loss of $12K healthcare plans with $5K tax fucking credits.

"...ultimate bridge to nowhere." BOOYAH!!

"...ultimate bridge to nowhere." BOOYAH!!

No promises that wont be kept? Didn't McCain call for a spending freeze?

Dear in the headlights look!

John McCain is THE GOD!

This is just silly - the constant shifting of her "answers" to some other topic.

The moderator needs to keep her on point.

"I may not answer the questions the way you want or the moderator wants" - no, Palin, you're simply not answering the questions. So that answer is the McCain campaign's work-around.

And notice her voice and inflection - very much trying to appeal to the people - the "I'm one of you- you're darn right!" Aw shucks, Palin! It's not going to fly.

Is Biden being condescending looking upon her as an idiot child? Oh!!! The causes of climate change aren't important...we just have to fix it. Time to get the scotch out.

The fact is, she's doing extraordinarily well. She's connecting well and speaking clearly. The fact that what she's SAYING is horseshit is sort of immaterial to a lot of people. They respond to tone and gesture.

That said, "Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere" after kicking the shit out of McCain's bogus $5K health-care bullshit was, in MORTAL KOMBAT terms, if not a FLAWLESS VICTORY, at least a popping up of John Tobias yodelling "TOASTY!"

Govbot Palin: /runtalkingpoint/ buzzphrase Amercanpeepleyoubetchayahmavrick /endtalkingpoint/

/runtalkingpoing/energypolicyplan/endtalkingpoint

Thank you, thank you for bringing up Spain, Biden. Nicely done. Of course she won't answer the question, though.

Nope, didn't address it.

I'd like to see her English grades. Perhaps she sounds more inept than she is by her mangling of the English language....but I doubt that. You guys!

The toy is winding down, and BABBLING...where's Katey??
