Friday Night Videos

Well, the VEEP debate went off without a hitch last night, which means Joe Biden didn't drone on in Senate speak and Sarah Palin didn't spontaneously combust. Halfway through, Biden figured out Palin was sticking strictly to scripted answers, so he gleefully jumped on McCain with both feet knowing Palin wouldn't (couldn't?) ad-lib any defense for her running mate. Palin, for her part, used the word "Maverick" about 147,000 times. Overall, it was polite and professional as far as debates go, with none of the bloody carnage on either side everyone who tuned in had hoped to see.

So for all the disappointed debate watchers out there, I dedicate today's video to you. THIS is what we wanted to see:

  1. I got sick of hearing "maverick" too! Then I read this article that says she used it only six times: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=agfv9hrJH9lE&refer=worldwide

    I find that enormously difficult to believe and would like to see a transcript.

  2. Every time she says that, I can't help but think how cool a president James Garner would make.
