Well, I watched the vice presidential debate last night. It was the first time I had really seen Sarah Palin speak. My reaction can be best summed up by quoting Bugs Bunny:
"I like her, she's funny!"
Some classic Palin quotes from the debates that I caught follow below....
On the Fiscal Crisis:
"There is a toxic mess on main street that is poisoning wall street."
See what happens when you don't curb your dog?
On how she and John Mccain might run the country:
"There have been big blunders in the past administration, as there are in any administration."
It's nice to know where she sets the bar for their performance.
On what the common man wants from their government:
"How the average man views the inaction of government ... 'Just get out of my way.'"
So all the government needs to do is "get out of the way." No action needed! (I actually, I'd agree with that except that didn't seem to be what she was *trying* to say or she never would have brought it up as something to 'change.')
On the plight of the middle class:
"Your wife was a teacher, her reward is in heaven."
I guess she and Mccain feel middle class teachers don't need earthly rewards.
On diversity:
"I have a very diverse family, people from all political persuasions."
I didn't know that "diversity" means a bunch of WASPs who don't all agree.
On the distribution of wealth in America:
"Fight for the average middle class family like mine."
Apparently she thinks that, in 2001, the average middle class American made more then $80,000 and got to live in a mansion for free. Maybe she meant she'd fight for the average, middle class governor's family. After all, she didn't get a jet like many governors do.
