I have little to say regarding this clip other than that, in preparation for tonight’s debate, I sincerely hope Sarah Palin has spent her time at McCain’s Arizona compound coming up with a) jokes that don’t suggest that she’s ENTIRELY unaware of, well, everything and b) the ability to pander to the public outside of referencing a local football game.
Following Palin’s foot-in-mouth moment du jour, resident mascara abuser Katie Couric seized the opportunity to call Palin out on mocking the age of the opposing VP candidate when her own runningmate (an aside for anybody into political semantics: is McCain Palin’s runningmate, or is only Palin McCain’s runningmate? If so, what is McCain to Palin?) is seven years older than the senator. While it’s not much of a surprise to hear that Palin issued a sturdy denial, citing Biden’s many speeches as merely lending themselves to his vast experience, it was indeed fairly surprising to hear the tried-and-true Obama card of change played by the Alaskan, as well as references to her “new ideas.”
I also find it immensely entertaining (in an accurate way) that when transcribed by the HuffPo, Palin’s word of affirmation is spelled as “yah.”
