Introducing Sarah Palin (aka the Leviathan)

Every debater wants to be seen as the underdog. But it's proving a little hard for Joe Biden right now.

Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric has spawned spoof after spoof and many think the garralous Senator will make mincemeat of her on Thursday.

Full credit then to the Biden employee who came up with this excuse:

“He’s going in here to debate a leviathan of forensics,” Mr. Biden’s spokesman, David Wade, said with an almost straight face, “who has debated five times and she’s undefeated.”

this is the upside down world of politics right now -

a man who believes that President FDR went on Tv in 1929 to calm panic after the Crash is considered a `leviathan'

Whig - You misunderstood. Biden's spokesman said that PALIN is the leviathan - that's why he had trouble keeping a straight face. Biden makes factual mistakes as we all do when we speak constantly. Palin can't put a coherent sentence together.

Aladdin:

She can't put a coherent sentence together? She speaks better drunk than Biden does sober... and she doesn't ask paraplegics to stand up when they physically aren't able to. Your VP candidate IS the village idiot.

Oh I didn't misunderstand Alladin - he was clearly being sarcastic.

And I think And I don’t think it’s “mere factual mistakes” – I was born long after 1929 (outside of America) and I full know:

-there was no TV in 1929
-fdr didn’t become prez until four years later
-and 1929 was the very beginning of a slide into depression that last ten years

and if the MSM would dwell on these and many other `factual mistakes’ committed by Nobama and Buy-down, you would believe `they couldn’t put a sentence together’ too.

As it is, the onslaught upon Palin represents the sexism and classism at the heart of contemporary left-wing politics.

I'm witholding judgment until after the debate. Miracles happen, and she might do better than we expect. Nonetheless, I think McCain and his advisors were foolish to choose a candidate who is so obviously ill equipped to step into the role of the Presidency. Given the age and health of her running mate, that would be a real possibility. She has been placed in an impossible situation. I give her credit... she hasn't cracked. She crashed and burned, but she hasn't cracked. The pressure has got to be unbearable. She doesn't have my vote, but she has my sympathy.

Let's face it if she was English Camoron would give her a safe seat to win the thick female vote. I feel sad for the ethnic candidates in the Tory Party who would not be welcome in most Conservative Clubs but are paraded on TV to show how the Tories have changed.
