there was one bit of the SNL Couric interview satire where i thought they took it to far. turns outthat part of the script was verbatim.



I gotta say though, I'm reminded of the axim "there's no such thing as bad publicity".... everyone's talking about her, who's talking about whatisname, Obama's sidekick?

Not since the Lloyd Bentsen/Dan Quayle debate have I had occasion to look around and wonder if there are people who only pretended to watch the debate. Seriously? Seriously! What a difference 20 years doesn't make.

I couldn't "watch" watch it -we had it on in the background. Sitting there concentrating fully would have been too painful. besides, I can't vote anyway so it just depresses me...

Yeah, it wasn't really "regurgitating on cue", as it was at random, not on cue, and she was reading from index cards.

Well, she did occasionally glance down at something she had on her podium, but mostly she looked at the camera.

Doesn't really matter. Biden is leaps and bounds above her in knowledge and experience, and that showed in the debate.

Doesn't really matter. McCain is leaps and bounds above Obama in knowledge and experience... and he is running for President.
