So that's it. That is what Michelle Bernard just said. Proves that her base is just as dumb as she is.

1. Also, if she mentioned a particular rag, she'd be open to questioning on what exactly she's read
and she'd have to do that moose-in-the-headlights thing again.

4. This from a journalism major
Such an irony from someone so inimical to the media.

5. That was an idiotic comment...
...they are just flailing.

Also, why is it okay for Palin to insult Democrats 24/7 and be incredibly condescending to her opponents but if Biden does it to her tomorrow he will lose the debate.

So much for equality...

7. Turnabout . . .
It is likely that Palin's strategy during the debate will be endless zingers and insults (this I am getting after reading transcripts of her debates before Alaska's gubernatorial election). Sadly, this plays directly to the Repug base, who thrill easily and sway not at all.

Of course, we cannot know the effects of Karl Rove's tutelage these past few days in AZ. Can't be pretty.

But if she starts zingin', I can't blame Biden for tossing a few back at her.

8. All she had to say was "The Christian Science Monitor", its a respected paper
But she wasn't well enough versed to know that. http://www.csmonitor.com/
