"From the Charlie Gibson interview:
I know that John McCain will do that and I, as his vice president, families we are blessed with that vote of the American people and are elected to serve and are sworn in on January 20, that will be our top priority is to defend the American people.
I didn't stop to marvel at the mad thrusting of that pet political watchword "families" into the text. I just rolled up my sleeves and attempted to bring order out of the chaos:
I had to give up. This sentence is not for diagramming lightweights. If there's anyone out there who can kick this sucker into line, I'd be delighted to hear from you."
Of course, as anyone who has read MY blog knows, I have the SAME PROBLEM!
I am truly undecided right now, and although I have made quite a few jokes about Palin (c'mon, she's made herself an easy target with the pageanting, hunting, and rambling-such rich fodder for a humorist such as myself...) I was interested to hear what each of the candidates had to say. Thankfully (!), the debate was not the train wreck I feared it would be. Here is my official analysis:
Palin: I dug her suit and cute red shoes. I also appreciated that her beehive was a little lower, since I had been distracted by that in the past. She spoke better than I expected she would. On the negatives: Needs to NIX the words "small town mayor" "energy" and "maverik" from her vocabulary forever. No one who pursues election to public office is that much of a maverik. Want to know a real maverik? Jack Barratt, and the personality traits that make him a maverik totally preclude him from desiring to serve in the government (and no one in their right mind would ever vote for him).
Biden: Perhaps it was the HDTV, but the pinstripe in his suit appeared to be made of glitter. His expertise in foreign policy was obvious and a little intimidating. He certainly kept his temper in check- Palin jabbed and I wish he would have gone a little bit more on the offensive. I think it's possible he had been drugged.
I fantasized about the possibility of a ticket that bends the time space continuum (or at least party lines...). I'd take a McCain/Biden ticket. Or McCain 8 years ago. Or Obama 8 years from now.

Here's why Sarah "ain't gonna git" my vote: She cain't
speak the King's English. Don'tcha think that a Vice-Presidential candidate could say the word "coming" instead of "comin" and then think of something other than "dag gan it?"

I am torn between writing in Becca Hatch or Christy Whittaker on my ballot!
Sadly, that is what a diagram of most of my statements would look like. And for the sake of balance- Joe Biden said the other day when asked about the finanial crisis that in 1929 FDR got on TV and told people not to panic. Great, except Hoover was president and last I checked there were no tvs in the 1929.
But, I agree with you on the Maverick issue. If you have to tell people you are a Maverick, you probably aren't!
Jack Barratt. Yes, the original maverick. Yes, Aunt Grandma--english would be appreciated. It was that #%%^*! wink that really took me over the edge. Of all the job interviews I've conducted or experienced, whoa, that was the most nauseating.
Becca you always get a good laugh from me. Thanks! Does Jack read your blog?
