Meh. Actually, Mcain knows that Acmajdihnajihad doesn't control the power base in Iran, it's Palin who doesn't. Heh.

Biden can't say that, though, it would be demeaning and sexist.

HAHAH Biden just referred to himself in the 3rd person!

Though bidens bald spot is pretty shiny

He needs to appropriate the term "Joementum" for himself

Palin is wearing a scary amount of make-up. I haven't seen that much thick black, slathered on eye liner since I last stopped at a rest area on the turnpike in North Jersey.

Hehe, she's switching between nuclear & nucular. Can't pronounce the leader of Iran's name, either, but then again 98% of Americans probably can't.

Compared to how people predicted she would do here I am really surprised, I would be crapping my pants up there...

She's really good at staying on her target, unfortunately, she's not very good at answering the mod's questions.

I'm not particularly impressed by either one of them. I had more intelligent & articulate high school teachers.

Yeah, they both suck.

Usage by politicians

U.S. presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Sarah Palin have all used this pronunciation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucular

If someone uses it accidentally that is one thing. She said it 4 times in a row. It makes people sound dumb.

And she actually is pronouncing Ahmadinejad's name properly. The 1st syllable is "Ach."


Palin insinuating that Obama/Biden aren't strongly pro-Israel was pretty ridiculous though.

 

[Drakkon]

What was that sigh from Biden?

 

[trmiv]

HAHAHAHA at the Biden sigh!

 

[nageov3t]

is that a second sigh from Biden?

 

[Juddog]

So far Joe Biden is owning the hell out of Palin. She sounds like she just memorized lines out of the Karl Rove GOP handbook.

A big LOL at Biden dropping deep sighs every time Palin tries to get all cutsey in her answers.

 

[Wag]

People really don't care much about this shit. They just want their sons and daughters home and want to be able to put food on the table and pay their rent.

 

[imported_Imp]

Avoid question by chanting 'reform'....ok...

 

[Perknose]

We'll learn from past mistakes by making sure we never ever discuss them!

 

[Balt]

She said Bush's policies weren't a failure, then didn't explain how it WASN'T a failure.

What's there to be surprised about? Palin is simply repeating talking points so far that she memorized.

Everyone predicted that she would make some catastrophic error or mis-speak severely, haven't seen it yet

And I remember reading something recently that said she would do "fine" if she stuck to what she knows and avoided everything else...seems like she is doing a good job at that.

Biden comes off as somewhat of a massive dick though IMHO.

 

[Modular]

Biden just got raped on the past finger pointing issue...

 

[NFS4]

I think that Joe Biden is just dumbfounded at her catch phrases instead of answering the question at hand.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Biden, slow down!!!!

I'm willing to chalk it up to local dialects.

 

[Juddog]

Biden is pushing the Bush / McCain policy similarities. Keep it up Joe!

"Past is Prologue"

good retort.
