Sarah Palin Scares P. Diddy - Video
This gets funnier towards the end, like, the very end. And I can’t get enough of Sarah Palin interviews. They rock my world. I think tonight’s debate may actually be worthy of a DVD burn or a VHS dub. The woman is just so laughable and I can’t wait to see what she’ll be workin’ wit tonight. She’s not gonna be asked questions about her lipstick, so she has a hell of a lot of preparing to do. I hope she wears a diaper because she’s gonna be shittin’ herself some

VP DEBATE SPECIAL: Sarah Palin Joe Six-Pack Quote
“I think they’re just not used to someone coming from the outside saying, “You know what? It’s time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of Vice Presidency,” and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it.”

Drinking Games for the Debates
Perhaps the best part of any presidential debate/State of the Union/political speech is the great fun in creating drinking games for the appropriate speakers. In college, every time George Bush would smirk, everyone would take a drink. Every time he stuttered, another drink. And terrorism mentions warranted a shot of whiskey.
So in preparation for the debates tonight, a lot of blogs have begun formulating their pre-fab list to getting wasted when Sarah Palin and Joe Biden take the stage.

Expectations Game Works Both Ways [Joe Biden]
If we may respectfully disagree with everyone on Earth, Joe Biden will do fine. The expectations are so ridiculously low for Sarah Palin that smart people know any half-competent performance will be met with cheers and audible relief and the nation will love her again. But you know what? That's all meta-expectations gaming for Biden.
It is now a truth universally acknowledged that Joe will be boorish and say a thousand stupid things and he'll be mean and condescending and no one will like him. But no one
