Smirky’s feeling cocky

Easy there, buddy.

Maybe he should read that Independent column to bring his ego down to size.

    Sarah Palin is the second most slimed politician in us history and rising. The first being GW Bush. The only reason she is not number 1 is because of time not content.

    You know, if what I just read is true, then his strategy is sound, and his plan is to be respectful and to show due deference to Governor Palin as an elected official. I don’t think that this is a bad thing.

    That being said, I hope she cleans the floor with him (respectfully, of course… ;) )

    What he means is the public has not been amused when the MSM and others attack Sarah and he does not want to look like an abusive husband during the debates. That is the real reason, and a smart move politically, but he can not actually say it is a ploy now can he?

    He will still say something stupid– it’s in his DNA.

    Wrighttrasch I agree. Biden cannot control himself. He will try to set her up and go for the jugular.

    We are going to see what Sarah is made of and I believe she has the “right stuff.” The human gaffe machine, liar, plagiarist, mean, typical lib Biden is a liability for Ubama, but the biased “openly rooting” for Uhbama media will never admit to it or expose it.

    Biden is someone I would truly like to punch in the mouth. I am banking on Sarah to punch him verbally and intellectually.

    Biden may think he’s going to sit back and take it easy, but he’s not known as a windbag for nothing. He’s such a windbag that during the recent Supreme Court confirmation hearings some of the other senators had a pool going to predict how far into his allotted time he would get before he got around to actually asking the nominee a question.

    Joe Biden thinking he will take it easy and not make a misstep is like an alcoholic thinking he will just drink enough to get a buzz and not go ahead and get stinking drunk.

    Let’s consider how Sarah can benefit here… after all, she’s running for VP, and needs only to prove herself stable and capable of leading the nation forward… her focus needs to:

    1) demonstrate that the US would suffer irreversibly under the black Hitler, and that Mick will lead us from the economic morass that Pelosi and the Democratic majority have brought upon us.

    2) drive a wedge between Biden-time and the black Hitler… this should be a slam dunk since JoBi is already predisposed to spout his intellectualism without regard to his running mate’s platform.

    I find it hard to figure what’s up or down these days when people like Fred Barnes and Charles Krauthammer saw McCain as unremarkable in the debate last week. Heck, I thought McCain flattened Obama.
    I think these pundits are so saturated with election input that they are losing sensitivity as to what a ’sound bite’ is and what is not.
    I hope Sarah is impressive (she needs to be). Even then, I don’t expect it to be acknowledged.

    I don’t get it. If they think the ad is wrong, shouldn’t they be going after the McCain campaign people, and issue a rebuttal? It is shameful that they are going after the ones who air the ad and using intimidation. Isn’t there anything illegal about that tactic?

    The lady couldn’t answer any of Katie Courics questions.

    The lady doesn’t know anything about the Bush Doctrine.

    The lady gave a really stupid answer about Pakistan and instead of being accountable, she blamed the person asking the question.

    If you people actually love this country, you do what’s best for the country and ask her to go back to Alaska and come back in 15 years.

    I wonder if anyone in the MSM will ask Biden about why he lied and said his “fathers and mothers” were coalminers who worked 16 hours a day under the coal mines in Pennyslvania. His only relative with coal experience was a mine engineer on the management side who was never in a union?Will anyone ask him why he said that he was the “first Biden to go to college”? He had plenty of relatives who went to college before he did. Will anyone ask him about saying he finished in the top half of his law school class when he finished 75 out of 86? Will anyone ask him about the NY Times articles on January 23 and January 24, 1982 which reported that Biden berated the Prime Minister of Israel?
    Katie Couric has a genuine crush on Barack Obama and only a genuine friendship with Biden.

    Bottom Line: She has better judgement than Obama and certainly more moral integrity.

    I won’t even discuss hs non-qualifications. Frankly, I am more qualified than Obama and that’s pretty pathetic.

    The 800 pound gorilla in the room is the bailout bill not passing. The main reason this thing died is NO ONE in D.C. including Obama is trusted. Palin’s popularity is primarily that she is trusted. Agree with her or not she is what she is.

    I’ll take integrity and good judgement any day. She won’t sit in Florida and say. “if I am needed, I can be called.”

    You’ve got that right. Obama goes around claiming to have superior judgment, but he doesn’t have anything to back it up. Palin has used her time in office to actually accomplish good things, and that’s why I put my trust in her.

    And Biden gives us that FDR was president in 1929 and went on television when the market crashed? Yeah right, and FDR sent e-mail to Churchill about how to fight the war. Your opinion about who is stupid could use some re-evaluation.

    You know something, SlowJoe might overcompensate for his reputation in this debate. Can you imagine him giving very short stilted answers, just one crisp sentence, not saying much at all?

    If he does that, it would be because he expects to just watch while Gwen Ifill does his dirty work for him, and he expects Sarah to crumble from the moderator’s questions.

    I think he’s cocky enough to believe that Sarah won’t be good enough to handle Ifill, and he can skate through without being the jerk he usually is.

    The problem though, is most people who are somewhat familiar with Biden will smell BS, that he’s not being himself. We’ll see what happens.

    I know one thing, though. The camera LOVES Sarah. She is even more photogenic than the ONE. By contrast, JoeyPlugs comes of like a sharky-smiling used car salesman, or the political version of Herb Tarlec (WKRP Cincinatti).

    I am looking forward to the debate. I hope the “handlers” let Gov. Palin be herself. That is when she is strongest. If she talks directly to the American people, she wins. I don’t really care what Biden does. The MSM will still portray him as the winner. It’s very frustrating that Pres. Bush has been called an idiot, stupid,etc. for not being a good public speaker or making up words (strategery-i love that one!). Biden gets the facts wrong, says things that, had they been spoken by a Republican, would have gotten him into a lot of trouble, but somehow he still this upstanding Senator. Nothing surprises me anymore and all this just inspires me to go back to McCain/Palin headquarters and do what I can to get them elected.

    What I’m waiting for …“Joe - if you don’t stop talking down to me you’re gonna have a problem”

    Sarah should have said that to the nitwit Couric and didn’t put that asswipe nothing in her place. She can’t let Biden walk on her.

    Of course he’s feeling cocky after watching Palin on T.V. lately. He has to walk a dangerous line this Thurday. Biden is smarter, and more prepared them Palin. No matter how much debate bootcamp Palin receives this week, she’s on her own on that stage. She will be forced to answer coherently for 2-3 minutes at a time. It’s not like she wasn’t prepped before her interviews with Couric. However, she still came across as a rambling deer in the headlights. But Biden has to undertand the psychology of the situation. He must understand how beating up on and talking down to a woman will appear to the audience at home.

    Gonna be hard to claim innocent after Thursday. But I can’t wait to see just how dizzy the trolls get from all the spin and lies that will be told come 5 minutes following the debate…that is if they show up. They tend to stay under their rocks when they have been spanked.
