Who are you kidding?!?!?

Are you seriously saying that no candidate in the history of the US has never had all their private secrets divulged in the last 40 years or so?

No

I am questioning your judgment when you say Palin is NOT being treated nastily.

She is. You admit it when you go to the happens to everyone defense.

Wrong.  She is NOT being treated nastily.  She is being treated NORMALLY and she is withering under the heat.  Maybe she should get out of the kitchen.

Your definitions of what's "normal" in a campaign, and "withering", are quire intriguing.  Care to site how she is "withering"?  Was water thrown on her, and she's now hiding under her black hat?

So you would have no problem if Obama was referred to as the bastard son of a whore?

It is stupid to assume that everyone who favors Obama is responsible for every bad thing anyone says about Palin.

That goes both ways , I am certain that a number of fairmined people support BHO , unfortunately there are some otherwise that tend to stand in frount.

That would be because Biden is not funny. There has been no Biden hype. Biden has had his passport for decades. His daughter did not get knocked up, there are no bridges he was for before he was against them.

SNL doesn't know how to make Biden funny?

Biden Gaffe; Asked Wheelchair Bound Senator To Stand

Hmmmmm....

Perhaps this humor is too gross for SNL.

No, it isn't funny.

Being a ditz is funny.

Being a cripple is not funny.

Making a social gaffe because you were unaware of a cripple being a cripple is also not funny.

Use your imagination and construct a funny parody of this for SNL and you will seewhy this was not done. There is no way to make it funny. You are being cruel to two people at once.

On the other hand, making fun of some ditz who says she knows all about foreign policy (despite getting her first passport after living in a noncontiguous part of the US for 44 years) because one tiny insignificant Alaskan island is near another tiny isolated insignificant Russian island IS the sort of thing a satirical skit was made for.

I bet Sarah Palin knows more about Santa Claus 'cause she lives so close to the North Pole. I bet she has close personal friends named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen. I bet she's met Rudolph.

What does a passport have to do with anything. I have never had a passport in my life, yet i traveled Europe extensively.

She never said she knows all about foreign policy. But she has been involved in multinational negotiations.

So have i for that matter. BFD. The bigger question is has Obama? If so what did he negotiate?

No, the diversionary question is "what did Obama negotiate?".

We're talking about Palin.

Try it now.


She never said she knows all about foreign policy. But she has been involved in multinational negotiations.

With Canadians, or was that a visit to the iHOP? *snicker*

And forget about introducing Obama in this. We are talking Palin and how she was discriminated against.


The main discrimination against her is that McCain & Co. keeps her away from the press nearly 24/7. Clearly, they know that her foot desperately seeks to insert itself in her mouth

Please. You are saying Palin is unqualified to ascend to the Presidency if McCain croaks.

Obama is applying for the job of President NOW.

What multinational negotiations has Obama been involved in? It is a simple and valid question.

If it is pertinent to Palins qualifications it sure is pertinent to Obama's qualifications.

Stay on the subject.

Palin is unqualified.

There is a major difference between someone with a BA from Idaho and someone with an advanced degree in constitutional law.

Obama is qualified. Plus, he does not have McCain's nasty temper and tendency to pull wacko stunts. He actually thought the Vietnam War was a good idea. He STILL thinks that.

NOT what we need. NOT what ANYONE needs. Not in this century.

You stay on the subject.

The subject is foreign policy experience. Palin has been involved in multinational negotiations, Obama , judging by the dirge of examples from those who should know him best, has not.

Using that criteria, which you and Brass seem to think is critical, Palin comes out ahead.
