Senator Verbose v. Caribou Barbie
Oh this ought to be good. Amusing at least. Not that the VP candidates have EVER made a significant impact on the outcome of the election but what the heck... it is an election season (? is nearly 2 years a "season" ?) of historic firsts...
The book club ladies had a cute idea. Let's have a drinking game as we watch the debate... every time Gov. Palin shakes her index finger/points in her attempt to make a point - take a drink. Every time Sen. Biden goes over his time limit in his attempt to answer the quesion - take a drink. We should all be good and drunk in about 15 minutes.
This will be interesting given that the interviews Gov. Palin has given lately have not been very good. I give her points for at least looking as though she is trying but really... someone who has worked in television, made public appearaces as Miss Alaska, been on City Council, been Mayor and now Governor should be able to cope with the press. So far, she hasn't shown that she can.
And Biden has a long history of open mouth insert foot combined with running off at the mouth.
I don't think either one of them was a good choice for VP but apparently we is stuck with them and the good news is that the only actual duties of the VP are to preside over the Senate in order to cast a tie-breaking vote and to inquire daily about the health of the president. Oh yeah, and go to state funerals and other unpleasant things. There isn't a whole lot of damage one can do with that. After all, look at Dan Quayle.
I like the drinking game idea. Might be the only way to get through the debate without losing my mind.
