Tonight is the one and only VP debate, between Caribou Barbie Palin and Joey “the lip” Biden. My prediction is that Palin can be as snotty and ignorant as she wants, and nobody (especially Biden) will be able to say anything less about (or to) her than the highest of praise, or they’ll be labeled as big old sexist meanies. Biden, of course, is fair game.
Should be a frustrating evening, which is why you shouldn’t watch alone. To that end, the Veep Debate Chat Room will be open for the festivities, because none of us should be alone for this stuff. In fact, if you want to get an early start, the chat is already up and running. So, be there, or be square, and feel free to invite your friends.
The debate starts at 9:00 PM EDT (too late on a school night, IMHO).
See ya’ll later.
Too late on a school night? No shit. Especially when I had to get up before 5 AM to get to work early so I can leave early to watch the RAYS IN THE FRICKIN’ PLAYOFFS!!!

Did I mention the Rays are in the playoffs?
The only way to watch Palin is to cradle a bottle of single-malt scotch. The scotch goes down smoother and is easier to swallow than anything that insufferable, ignorant bitch has to say. Ah, well, at least Biden is nice to look at, IMHO.
Diva
Plus Joe is an SU Law grad, and the more SU alums we have running the government, the better off we’ll be.
MSBlog drinking game. Whenever pj mentions a Syracuse alum, :40:
Video like this from yesterdays’ MvS and more available at

Bob Costas, Joyce Carol Oates, Vanessa Williams, Stephen Crane, Donna Shalala, Marv Albert, Marty Glickman, Ted Koppel, Steve Kroft, Story Musgrave, Robert Jarvik, Dick Clark, Taye Diggs, Peter Falk, Suzanne Pleshette, Jerry Stiller….
Just gettin’ warmed up. I’ll have you under the table in no time.
Maybe I’ll have to start with my famous high school alums like Franken semi-regular Caroline Aaron or David Castle or Steve Bassett, or Lynn Abbott or Ann Savoy or Heath Curdts and even a Carly Fiorina connection. Not to mention NFL great Barty Smith or American Idol s Elliot Yamin!
Then I could then move on to Columbia and UVa (George Macaca Allen!). :40: :40: :40: :40:
I’ve been stupidly accused of being a name dropper anyway.
More MvS show facts for now

I am not sure what the IM situation will be. They were both turned off during yesterday’s show for understandable reasons but Maron indicated later they would be doing it for what it’s worth.
Maybe pj will cobble together a one stop guide on the side so folks won’t have to pick through the archives and the other blogs to find out this stuff in the future. Poking through the Seder Club blog with a stick to get past all of the stupid troll bashing and coffee clatch stuff gets tiresome.
I may have to miss the debate tonight. We are being strongly encouraged to canvas because many people will be home and watching it and it will offer a great opportunity to talk to people. Duty first. I wish I had a way to record it but I suppose it will be all over the you tubes and all the good parts on the talk shows.
So, this new “rescue bill” :yuck: looks like it’s going to pass. Sounds like they’re holding the credit market hostage. Not exactly sure what that means except I heard Hartman say that businesses won’t be able to stock their shelves etc. And a congress woman on Steph’s show said they won’t be able to fix roads and infra structure or help hurricane victims. I guess that makes sense to me. What are we supposed to do now?? :fustrate:
Ideally, we’d have somebody courageous running for preznit that could stand up and say “we need to fix things, but not by ramming through a hastily drafted bailout like this. What we need is careful consideration and a bill that returns oversight and regulation to the financial industry that makes the American taxpayer a partner with the industry, and not a convenient source of free money. We should also be investing in mortgages, and doing away with these bundled mortgage-backed securities, which are just putting lipstick on a pig.”
Sadly, no candidates for preznit are saying that.
OK, the only famous grads from my HS that I can think of are Danny Schayes, Walt Weiskopf, and Mark Dindal.
Hey, Stephen Spoonemore is on Hartmans show
I think he’s my friends’ older brother.
Paul O’Neill graduated from my HS. Whatever that’s worth.
For SU’s Donna
Of course ShaNaNa came from Columbia as did … and Garfunkel.
Man, Hartman’s bumper music is so lame. :jerk:
You know, people keep saying that Biden needs to be careful about coming on too strong against this, so called pitbull with lipstick, but it really doesn’t matter how polite or diplomatic he is. They’re gonna call him sexist no matter what, that’s why McInsane picked her. That’s what they do.
I think you dropped a name there V…was it Simon? :cat:
Simon, not Columbia.
Well, Records but not University.
:fire: Hey seditionistas,:fire:
Former Fishguy here –
Lost old password, and could not reset, so now spelling phonetically
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti)
Just watched Yesterday’s numero uno MaronVSeder (not live)!
Had to stop by and say “YAY”
I see many familiar names still blogging away…
going home now to watch tonite’s
debate– trainwreck.will try to chat witcha all in real time
-Don’t forget to keep your head warm!
ps- How do I create an icon for myself here? (I gotta great one) :fire:
Hey, ghotiguy. Go to Gravatar.com and register with the e-mail address you used when you registered here (you can also change your e-mail address for here, by the way, by going into your profile and changing your e-mail address. Then you can use the new address when you register with Gravatar). Then follow the instructions to upload a picture. Your avatar will show up next to your posts within about 10 minutes or so.
What, not Dolph ???
No, Dolph just sat in front of me at every HS basketball game I went to, so I couldn’t see anything.
FishGuy, yay
That phonetic spelling reminds me of an Aykroyd skit where he tried to reduce the size of the alphabet by bunching the words together.
OK, let’s see if this gravatar thingie works. Should be the peace symbol.
Yay! It worked – thanks pjsauter :yippee:
Now, let’s get that single malt ready because, God knows, we can’t watch that bitch without drinking.
Wish I could chat. I’m stuck at work and it doesn’t look very good. I wish I could hear the debate – a couple freelancers are streaming it, but not loud enough for me to hear. I have heard a couple groans from their area, so it must’ve been Palin.
Pass me the scotch.
She’s doing rather well, damnit!
(This is Fishguy again- still having trouble – I’m a luddite, what can I say)
Joe looks AWFUL! His eyes look like Paul Muni’s in “The Good Earth” (a caucaian actor playing an Asian in a 1930’s movie)
He cant emote well with his face, except for that fake politico smile.
And HIS hair looks like a Barbie (because of the hairplugs)
Why does Palin get to decide what she’s going to talk about?
“I dont want to argue about what is causing Global Warming”
If you dont know the CAUSE, how can you prscribe a CURE????? :smack:
I can hear some Palin rambling – blizzard of bullshit, she can’t even do that well.
Wish I could agree…
I think she’s probably getting accross to the willfully ignorant. There’s a huge % of “folks” who were “energized” by her appearance, but have been losing faith having seen her answer interview questions…they want to beleive in her, and she has a REALLY low bar here – and doing better than expected.
FINALLY -he’s calling her out “I didn’t hear a plan.”
She’s answering that charge with MORE non-answer talking points, (but doing it well…) 🙁
WAIT: He’s lumping McCain in with Cheney! 😮
:40:
She keeps reminding me of the idiot beauty pageant contestant earlier this year.
At least Joe’s doing well with the “reality-based” voter.
She’s lying. :tap:
But I have seen more media parsing & fact-checking of her statements (“thanks-but no thanks” on the bridge to nowhere, etc) than we’ve seen in several years. Hopefully they’ll continue-
McCain knows “How to win a war”???
Look, I dont want to make light of what happened to him, but it seems to me he knows how to get shot down & captured, and how to survive the experience fairly well intact- lots of Moxie, but pretty far from winning a war
Seems like everytime she gets “homey” Joe gets hypnotized…
When she said “say it aint so, Joe” “there you go again” & “doggone it” he positively beamed!
When she gets all “perky” his smile says “She’s ADORABLE!”
-ugh!
THAT’s NOT THE QUESTION!!!! :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate: :fustrate:
…Must keep talking…
mouth muscles must not stop…
Is it me-
-or does he actually have a better closing statement??? :nod:
oy!
CBS is interviewing Lieberman :yuck:
oy!
CBS is interviewing Lieberman :yuck:
NPR:
Biden won on the facts
Palin dodged a bullet, but did not answer enough of the questions that were asked.
Fishguy:
Never misunderestimate the power of stoopid people in large groups.
which is to say; I dont care what the pundits say, I care how she played in Peoria.
Hopefully, it hasnt changed too many people’s minds (in Peoria)
(Appologies to anyone who might actually BE in Peoria) 😉
Hello! Don’t want to intrude, I just want to drop off a more direct link for the Maron v Seder audio podcasts at AAR:

Fishguy! We’ve missed you, man! :yippee:
Was it a coincidence Cat Chew would show up at the same time as the ‘fish?
