Vice-Presidential Debate

I'm now watching the vice-presidential debate right now. If I don't pay particular attention to everything they're saying, this is what I hear:

Senator Joe Biden: Fact. Intelligent remark. John McCain said X and two hours later he completely switched his opinion.

Moderator: Governor Palin, how do you respond to that?

Governor Palin: I don't know how to answer your question or respond to his statement, so I'm going to just rattle off a few of my talking points and some key phrases and buzz words. Please excuse me if you've heard almost exactly the same sentences in previous speeches... Ummm... maverick... energy... back in Alaska... Joe SixPack... Main Street and Wall Street... Drill, baby, drill!...

Moderator: Now I'd like to ask you about the current economy...

Governor Palin: I don't want to answer your question. I would like to just regurgitate another one of my talking points. Umm... maverick... womens' rights... doggone it... obsessive partisanship... maverick... maverick... mavericks... maverick...

Oh. ma. gah. It's going to take us three hours to watch this debate just because of all the times we have to pause and make comments.

The only bad thing I can say about Joe Biden is that he needs to remember that his microphone is still open when Palin is speaking, so the audience can hear all his sighs and moans at the things Palin says.

As TheMister said, "I think I liked her better when she sounded like a total idiot and couldn't put together a sentence. Now she's just rattling off talking points."

I totally agree.

Sadly, what I keep thinking whenever I see or hear anything about the election is "I'm sick of all the talk. Let's just do this thing already!" Can we just skip the rest of this month and get straight to November 4th?
