"On the campaign trail, Gov. Sarah Palin jokes about listening to Sen. Joe Biden's speeches since she was in second grade. In a just-released CBS News segment, Katie Couric asks if that isn't an odd thing to say given her own running mate's age"..

Tina Fey should just show up Thurs. night, honestly what's the difference.....

1. You could hit her over the head with a million clue-by-fours

And she'll never get it.

[Solomon]

10. LOL

Good one!

[crossroads]

24. LOL... loved it! nt

[Stephist]

2. And What Gets Me Is The Idiots At The Rallies

Applaud her for it. I guess that's what they are being paid to do.

[SuperTrouper]

3. Palin's mother used to listen to McCain's speech when she was in 2nd grade

4. The best comeback...

22. That was Excellent. DUzy is right!!!!

5. Tina Fey could actually pull off a decent debate with Biden. (eom)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. They didn't even have a "second grade" when McCain was that age. (nt)

[Kerrytravelers]

7. Ten bucks Tine Fey has a stronger handle on the issues.

However, she couldn't debate against Biden in a GE- they're playing for the same team! :)

8. "So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the

new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years."

Yep, Sarah, voters are gonna have a choice "there."

9. Palin's response...

“Oh, no, I just meant that he’s very experienced and has been speaking since 1972…” (yeahhh, thats the ticket!)

Yet when she made that comment, the crowd went wild.

What came to my mind…

Obama: “Lipstick on a pig ... its still a pig” …and the crowd went wild...

But what did the GOP say...Obama is SEXIST!!!


Rather tacky time of Biden's life to choose...seeing that his wife and daughter were killed in 1971...

[doc03]

11. They should hire Tina Fey to do her debate I'm

sure she is smarter than Moooselini.

[dkofos]

12. Don't give them any ideas. They are desperate and just might try it.

[juno jones]

13. Thing is Tina's on our side.

All she'd have to do is show up with 3x5 cards of Palin Generator statements. She'd look like the real thing and sink it all. Two birds with one stone, eh?

[grace0418]

14. "honestly what's the difference....." The difference: Tina Fey is intelligent.

She would do a much better job just plain speaking English. :)

[CatsDogsBabies]

15. It is odd to think she knows about Biden

since the second grade but seems to know nothing about McCain or her own platform. Shouldn't she know about McCain since she is the VP candidate with McCain, yet when Couric ask her specifics about McCain, she couldn't answer the question. Palin is not very bright (said kindly).

[Supersedeas]

16. maybe Biden's speeches were more interesting?

[yardwork]

17. It's also a lie. No way has Sarah Palin ever paid any attention to Biden or any other senator.

I'm sure that Sarah Palin had never heard of Joe Biden until her handlers told her about him last week or so. She wasn't listening to his speeches in the second grade! Somebody wrote that line for her and she memorized it.

She's a fraud and a liar.

[Jennicut]

18. Um, duh Sarah Biden wasn't even sworn in until 1973. His family died in a car accident in 72.

His wife and daughter died in a car accident and he wasn't sworn in until 73. Small point, but I can't stand this woman. I doubt also if she ever heard any of his speeches in 2nd grade. He was only 30 when he entered the Senate so he was not exactly the major star of the senate. Idiot.

[BrklynLiberal]

23. You are absolutely right...

The accident was around Christmas 1972.

[mokawanis]

19. Palin - you shall know her by her lies

[Cha]

20. I NEVER thought I say this but..

You freakin' Rock, Katie Couric!

[LynneSin]

21. I think a Fey-Biden debate would be great to watch

Since I think Fey is way more qualified to be Vice-President and actually has a clue.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. I guess McCain and Biden have white hair but this is ridiculous!
