The American Spectator

C.B. Gilman br> Tucson, Arizona /p> p> She was chipper; she was smiley. She dodged the questions she couldn’t answer, and she stayed on message. And, gosh darn it, she sounded sincere. Sarah Palin would be a perfect Presidential Press Secretary. Too bad she got bumped up to a responsibility she’s not ready for. br> — Bruce Joffe br> Piedmont, California /p>

Pete Freire does a fine job recapping the Palin — Biden debate from several nights ago. The Governor strode out looking confident and fashionable and, after a slightly slow start, took on Biden and applied some serious body checks to him.

p>”Gaffe-Master” Joe (sounds like a third-rate rapper) then proceeded to pile on the mis-statements, fumbles and outright lies during the course of the debate. Now, most of these have been covered at length in other places (see Amanda Carpenter at Townhall.com, Investor’s Business Daily and Michael Goldfarb of the McClain — Palin campaign), and some have been real doozies. Biden mentions inviting anyone to join him for a beer at Katie’s Restaurant in Wilmington, DE, a place that’s been out of business for years, and also spoke of talking to people at his local Home Depot. In spite of the fact that the huge, glowing orange building that houses the business is virtually impossible to miss, I br> doubt Biden would recognize one if he drove his car through it. /p>

But the monster of them all, right up there with his “President Roosevelt came on TV after the 1929 Stock Market Crash to speak to the American people,” was his statement that the U.S. and France kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, and that he and Obama both want to move NATO troops in there to “fill the vacuum.” The only vacuum that exists is the one between Biden’s ears. Mind you, this is the expert in international affairs that the Dummycrats have decided that the inexperienced Obama needs as a partner in the campaign. The next stop I want to see from Biden is a spot on “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” Jeff Foxworthy and the kids would have a field day with this one.

p>To his credit, the good Senator from Delaware did give out his own name correctly…I think. br> —
