Let's try for a THIRD time. Did anybody hear Palin's stated

[kestrel91316]

plan to increase the VP's powers in the Senate? And then Joe smacked her down bigtime?

Fucking NAZI, this bitch is. Cheney has obviously been tutoring her.

[Coexist]

1. yes. ok. yes.

[Dr. Death]

2. Yes, she said that, but clearly didn't understand the issue

Not that she understands any other issue.

[Curtland1015]

3. That was great.

Increased power? Makes her sound like a power hungry POS.

[Cass]

4. I thought it was par for the course for her that she clearly had no freaking idea WTF

the question was about.

[Soup Bean]

32. I agree. The woman had no idea what she was talking about.

I can't believe Pat Buchanan is raving about her. Whatever he is, he's usually a little more substantive. She is the American Idol candidate. I want a VP who knows what's going on. She was clearly concentrating so hard on her 3X5 cards that she wasn't paying attention to either Biden or Iffle.

[FatDave]

5. Yes.

And I heard both Rachel and Matthews say "Are you fucking kidding me?" Well, words to that effect.

[Kajsa]

6. Yes she did!

No question about it.

More power for the VP.

[cliffordu]

7. Yep.

[nc4bo]

8. Absolutely did hear her say that. I'm stunned, I dont know what I was watching...

she didn't answer questions and completely ignored other ones.

:wtf: EPIC FAIL

[high density]

9. Yes, Tweety's first words out of his mouth were about this when the debate ended.

[FloridaGrl]

10. She loves the Cheney doctrine

[Doremus]

11. Yes I heard it and I couldn't believe my ears. She IS Bushbaby's twin! n/t

[AlCzervik]

12. yes i did, i was driving home and and screamed.

[jacksonian]

13. yes, and how about the part about if McCain died

hey, she's a maverick, and she and would do whatever she wanted?

Sounded like she was counting the days. Power, baby.

[blue_onyx]

14. Thankfully he said something

When I heard that BS coming out of her mouth, I was hoping Biden would say something.

[fishwax]

15. That was the first thing Chris Mathews commented on after the debate

He was shocked that anyone would be so brazen as to insist that the power of a certain position should be expanded even as she's running for it ...

[YDogg]

20. yep

[angee_is_mad]

16. That was for the repub base, wink wink

to make them comfortable with mclame.

[Arrowhead2k1]

17. She should be disqualified for suggesting that shit.

I mean wtf?

[grannylib]

18. She's a snide, snotty asshole. And power-mad.

[LatteLibertine]

19. I laughed at this

Sarah Palin: "John McCain is the man we need to leave... lead!"

Yes, Sarah wouldn't it be grand if you got in and John did "leave". Then you could set up a "tolerant" redneck Pentecostal theocracy with the "first dude" for us all.

*shiver*

[BelgianMadCow]

22. yeah that was a definite giggle!

:-)

welcome to DU

[Marsala]

21. I knew that was coming when Gwen mentioned powers of the VP

Big, big mistake trying to use Cheney as an example. He's hated more than Bush.

[complain jane]

23. Yes. WTF was she talking about? Did she even know?

[navarth]

24. yeah I heard it. loud and clear. did the idiot public hear it? I wonder.

[vanderBeth]

25. Yes. Someone needs to retake their civics class.

[stillcool]

26. oooh boy...was that scary or what?

[casus belli]

27. Yes. Critical gaffe.

I don't know whether she really wants to expand the powers of veep to include a role in the legislative branch, or whether it was a case of her not really understanding the question and just trying to sound well-informed.

[unblock]

34. no way it was a gaffe.

SHE may or may not personally understand what she said. but whoever fed her that line for her to regurgitate knew exactly what they were doing.

[GirlieQ]

28. Yes! I was in a bar, and there was cheering when Biden smacked her down.

And not just from my group of friends. There was another group of 15ish people, and they were there to watch the debate, too. There were other moments, but that was the one where I couldn't hear the TV for 30 seconds or so over the laughter and cheering for Biden.

[young_at_heart]

29. I believe Biden teaches Condition Law

And yet, she lectured him several times.

[ClayZ]

30. She is evil!

K and R

[LostinRed]

31. I agree

I know you're angry but I don't call her a bitch.

[Tigress DEM]

33. You betcha!
