Let’s get ready to ruuuuuummmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbbllllllllle!

So, that was much more interesting than Obama v McCain.

Sarah Palin’s voice shaking like a seventh grader in the national spelling bee for the first five minutes.

The simmering anger just beneath the surface when one didn’t like what the other was saying.

Now this is what a debate is supposed to look like.

Some thoughts:

One - Don’t get me wrong. I know where the scary Republicans stand on the issue of civil rights. It’s platform, it’s repulsive, and if I were of a weaker constitution, it would likely make me projectile vomit. But I will say this. At least they don’t split hairs about it.

Joey B, please don’t pander to me. You can’t tell me that you are against gay marriage and then turn around and, in the very next sentence, say that in an Obama/Biden administration we the gays will be completely equal from a civil rights standpoint. I know what you are trying to say, I do. We’ll have rights and stuff, something the Republicans don’t much want us to have. But, the fact is thus, as long as people can get married in city halls across the country, and not just in churches, then denying anyone the right to marry is denying them a civil right.

Okay, now that I’ve gotten that serious thought out of the way (phew, that was painful), I will explain why I could never be a politician.

You know when Palin said that McCain had already “tapped her”?

How in the hell do these people keep a straight face?
