"Mastery"

TB — 10/3/2008 6:01:30 AM (archived)

Quite a bit of what Biden spouted was factually incorrect, but he's counting on nobody bothering to check, or even think about it. The "spent more in 3 weeks in Iraq than the entire Afghanistan War" canard should have hit viewers in the face hard enough to knock out teeth. It's off by about a factor of about 20.

The bar is low and the stakes very, very high for Palin. Reminds me of Nixon "Checkers" speech. - Bowser - 10/2/2008 7:57:31 PM
- I don't think anyone can say that Ifill sandbagged her. - Bowser - 10/3/2008 2:49:19 AM
  - She was fair and impartial. - REB - 10/3/2008 2:43:42 PM
- But then what's the mechanism for choosing a new running mate? - Eri - 10/2/2008 10:30:39 PM
  - Palin's cleaning Biden's clock. ;-) (n/t) - SDAI-Tech1 - 10/3/2008 1:49:20 AM

        If TB didnt get it, how can you expect the _little people_ to get it? - ARRELL - 10/4/2008 1:14:18 AM
        
        Ah... the RL school of posting. - SDAI-Tech1 - 10/4/2008 1:11:26 AM

    - Riiiight.... and you thought McCain won the first debate.... - ARRELL - 10/3/2008 1:52:28 AM
      - And the left here thought Cheney lost to Edwards - SDAI-Tech1 - 10/3/2008 2:34:23 AM

      - She's unresponsive but on-message. Lying faster than Biden can correct her. Some are getting through. (n/t) - Bowser - 10/3/2008 1:54:50 AM
