Too funny. Palin makes a jab about Biden's age.

[Contrary1]

"I do look forward to Thursday night and debating Sen. Joe Biden," Palin said while introducing John McCain at a rally here. "We are going to talk about those new ideas, new energy for America. I'm looking forward to meeting him too. I've never met him before. But I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade."

Palin, 44, would have been eight years old when Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972 at the age of 29. John McCain was 36.

Palin turned 18 in 1982, the year McCain was first elected to Congress at the age of 46. If elected, McCain, 72, would become the oldest president in United States history.

As usual, the comments are the best part:

"And I guess she was hearing about McCain when she was in her mother's womb."

1. I wonder when she first knew who Biden was

maybe when McCain asked her to run, he filled her in.

2. How many years was she held back in the 2nd grade?

3. Biden must be ready for this stuff...

He must be ready for Sarah Palin to show up acting like a charming, silly hayseed---who spews
venom, lies and put downs with a big, pearly white, golly-darn smile.

He must have one liners to snap right back at her.

"Yes, Sarah, and while you were in 2nd grade, I was sent on international missions to broker serious foreign
policy issues, which you know a little about, because you had the opportunity to meet a few world
leaders for the first time in your life, last week...isn't that right?"

Sarah Dumb will not be at the debate. Sarah snark and smile will be there.

4. Did they change the laws or something?

I thought you had to be 35 to run for Senator!

5. She is lying again!

She didn't know about Joe Biden until recently more likely. More money for Keith Olbermann to give to Special Olympics.
